Warrick County Sheriff Office and Jail Records
The Warrick County Sheriff's Office is the primary local source for released inmates information in Boonville and the rest of the county. The mailing address for the jail is P.O. Box 487, Boonville, IN 47601. You can reach the sheriff's office by phone at 812-897-6180. The sheriff's website is at warricksheriff.com.
The sheriff's site provides contact information and basic department details.

Jail staff handle booking and release records as part of daily operations and can typically confirm custody or release status for a named individual.
