Warren County Jail Roster
Warren County does not publish a separate sheriff-hosted roster in the visible content of the official sheriff and jail page. The documented online route for local jail lookup is the Indiana County Jail Public Portal, also called INjail. The Indiana Judicial Branch public-records page points users to the same county-jail offender locator, and the INjail county data includes Warren County with a direct county route. For local custody, that makes the public portal the first online step before calling the jail.
The Warren County Jail remains the local detention point. It holds people arrested in Warren County, pretrial detainees, short local sentences, and holds under sheriff authority. A person who has been sentenced to the Indiana Department of Correction will no longer be best searched as a current county jail inmate. Federal custody and immigration custody also use separate systems, so a missing Warren County roster result does not prove the person is not detained somewhere else.
The INjail public search form is the source shown here for county jail lookup fields.
The screenshot shows why a Warren County inmate records search may start statewide, then narrow by county, booking date, release date, or name.
Use Warren County Roster
INjail is a JavaScript app, so some detail appears only after the search runs in a browser. The app exposes tabs for search and counties, search and clear buttons, and a warning if no search value is entered. Results are keyed by a search token, can be paginated, and may show the person name, age, race, sex, booked-on date, released-on date, and a View action. The county-specific route uses a current Warren County inmates style heading and suppresses the statewide county column.
- Open the INjail search page or the Warren County results route.
- Enter at least one search value. Last name is usually the best first field when no booking number or ID is known.
- Choose Warren in the county field to keep statewide results from mixing with the Warren County Jail roster.
- Use Booked Between for recent custody events, or Released Between if the person may have left jail.
- Select Search, then review name, age, race, sex, booked date, and release date if shown.
- Open View when a result is available, since the detail profile can hold more booking and identity fields.
- Call Warren County Jail if a new booking, spelling issue, data outage, or release status needs prompt confirmation.
Warren County Search Fields
The INjail search form is broader than a simple last-name box. It accepts name, birth date, county, booking-date, and release-date filters. The research also notes that the app requires at least one search value. This matters for common surnames, recent releases, and people who may have been booked under a full legal name that differs from a nickname.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | Optional, but one value is required | Maximum length 50; alpha-only entry shown in the app bundle. |
| First Name | Text | Optional | Use with last name to narrow common names. |
| Birth Date | Date picker | Optional | Placeholder uses m/d/yyyy format. |
| County | Dropdown | Optional | Warren is listed as a participating county. Warren County FIPS is 18171 and portal code is 86. |
| Booked Between | Date range picker | Optional | Includes ranges such as Today, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, This Month, and Last Month. |
| Released Between | Date range picker | Optional | Useful when the person may have been discharged from the Warren County Jail. |
| Search | Button | Not applicable | Runs the submitted query and may generate tokenized result pages. |
| Clear | Button | Not applicable | Clears the form and query parameters. |
Warren County Inmate Profile
A public roster result is not the same thing as a full court file. It is a custody record tied to jail intake and release data. The INjail app bundle shows that an expanded profile can include identity fields, physical description fields, booking data, arrest data, release data, holds, cases, and a public inmate image component when a record includes one. Missing fields may appear blank, unknown, or as placeholder marks.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Person name formatted by the portal. |
| INjail ID | Portal-specific identifier used by the county jail app. |
| Race / Ethnicity / Skin Tone | Public demographic descriptors if supplied in the record. |
| Sex / Age | Basic profile fields shown with search results or detail records. |
| Eye Color / Hair Color / Height / Weight | Physical description fields when available. |
| County | County associated with the booking, hidden on some county-specific result views. |
| Booking # | Jail booking number for the custody event. |
| Booked On | Date the person was booked into jail. |
| Arrest Date | Date of arrest if supplied. |
| Arresting Agency / Officer | Agency and officer fields when public and present. |
| Released On | Release date if posted, or blank/placeholder if not available. |
| Holds | Hold details when public, including reasons custody may continue. |
| Cases | Related case information if connected to the booking profile. |
| Public image | Mugshot or booking image component exists, but availability depends on the specific record. |
For filed charges, hearing dates, and final case outcomes, use court records rather than only the jail profile. A booking charge can change once the prosecutor files a formal case.
Warren County Access Chain
Warren County inmate records are best checked through a chain, because each channel answers a different question. The online roster is the fastest route for many current county jail records. The jail phone line is stronger for a new booking, spelling problem, uncertain release, bond question, or data outage. A public-records request is the right channel for booking records that are not visible online. Indiana VINE is for status notifications, not a substitute for the roster.
- County portal: use INjail for Warren County Jail public lookup.
- Phone: call Warren County Jail at (765) 764-4367 for current custody and records routing.
- In person: contact the sheriff/jail office at 29 E. 2nd Street during public office hours for administrative records.
- Public records: use Warren County's public-records ordinance and form process for records not online.
- Notifications: use Indiana VINELink or Indiana SAVIN for custody and case notifications.
- Mobile app: no verified Warren County Sheriff's Office app was found, and no app-only roster feature was confirmed.
Lookup note: Indiana VINE is useful for alerts, but custody facts should still be confirmed through INjail, the jail, the court, or the agency holding the person.
Warren County Custody Systems
Readers often search the wrong system. Warren County Jail records cover local jail custody. The Indiana Department of Correction covers sentenced state prisoners. The Bureau of Prisons covers federal inmates, and ICE covers immigration detention. A person may move from one system to another after court action, transfer, sentence, or a hold from another agency. The right locator depends on who currently has legal custody.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Pretrial county jail | INjail and Warren County Jail | People recently arrested, held before court, held on local warrants, or serving short local custody. |
| Sentenced state prison | IDOC incarcerated individual locator | People in Indiana Department of Correction custody, with DOC number and facility assignment when available. |
| Federal custody | BOP inmate locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present, not Warren County Jail or IDOC-only custody. |
| Immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator | Search by A-number or biographical details for immigration detention, not county jail-only custody. |
The IDOC offender locator page describes the state search route for sentenced prisoners. IDOC rules for mail, visitation, money, and facilities do not automatically control Warren County Jail procedures.
Warren County Jail Contact
Warren County's detention map resolves to one local jail facility. The official sheriff page identifies the sheriff's office as responsible for the county jail and prisoners in the jail. It also lists Sheriff Anthony Pruitt, Chief Deputy Gregory Grimmett, Sergeant Kody Perry, and administrative assistant Samantha Hill. For a time-sensitive roster question, use the jail phone rather than waiting for an online record to refresh.
Warren County Jail
29 E. 2nd Street
Williamsport, IN 47993
(765) 764-4367
Sheriff office public hours are Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST; jail division is open 24 hours.
The official Warren County sheriff and jail page is the source for the jail address, phone, office hours, and sheriff staff listing.
The county page is sparse on roster policy, so the jail contact information is important when the portal does not answer a current custody question.
Warren County Booking Records
Warren County does not publish a full local booking-process handbook online. The supported path starts with arrest or warrant service by the sheriff, Williamsport Police, West Lebanon Police, Indiana State Police, DNR, or another agency working in the county. Fountain Warren Regional Dispatch Center dispatches Warren County Sheriff Department, Williamsport Police Department, West Lebanon Police Department, local EMS and fire agencies, and works with probation, prosecutors, community corrections, DNR, and Indiana State Police Lafayette Post District 14.
Once a person is received at jail, staff record identity, booking date, arrest date, arresting agency or officer, and reasons for custody. Indiana APRA and IC 5-14-3-5 require certain jailed-person information to be available for inspection and copying, including identifying information, reason for placement, who is holding the person, received and discharged or transferred times, and bail or bond amount if fixed. Medical screening and classification occur during intake, but Warren County has not published the full local procedure in the official HTML sources reviewed.
- Booking
- Jail intake where identity, arrest, charge, and custody details are recorded.
- Hold
- A reason custody may continue, even if another charge has bond.
- Detainer
- A notice or request from another agency that can affect release.
- Pretrial
- The stage before conviction or final case disposition.
Warren County Visitation Fallback
The official Warren County sheriff page does not publish a full visitation schedule, visitor ID rule, dress code, child visitor rule, attorney visit rule, or holiday schedule. It also does not publish a video visitation vendor. Because those details can affect whether a visit is allowed, the most accurate route is to call Warren County Jail before traveling or setting up a visit. Do not borrow rules from another Indiana county.
| Topic | Located Warren County Detail | Action |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation schedule | Not published in official sources reviewed. | Call (765) 764-4367 before travel. |
| Visitor ID | Not published. | Ask what photo ID is required. |
| Dress code | Not published. | Confirm restrictions before arrival. |
| Child visitor rules | Not published. | Ask whether minors may visit and what guardian documents are needed. |
| Attorney visitation | Not published. | Attorneys should contact the jail or court directly. |
| Holiday or lockdown changes | Not published. | Call the jail for same-day status. |
Warren County Mail Money
Warren County does not publish a jail mail format, scanned-mail policy, inmate phone vendor, video vendor, deposit vendor, online deposit route, kiosk rule, or current deposit fee table in the official sheriff HTML reviewed. County code snippets do support that commissary accounts exist, and a 2019 county resolution concerns sheriff commissary fund expenditures. The same snippets refer to inmate medical co-pay deductions and state that inmates will not be refused medical treatment because of inability to pay.
Before sending funds or mail, confirm the inmate is still at Warren County Jail. Also confirm the required name format, booking number format, return-address rule, allowed items, and deposit method. For state prisoners, IDOC has separate support hub pages for visitation, phone calls, mail, commissary, money accounts, video visits, tablets, and re-entry services. Those state prison rules are not the same as Warren County Jail rules.
Note: Confirm custody status with Warren County Jail before sending money, mail, or visit requests.
Warren County Records Requests
If the public portal does not show the needed Warren County inmate record, a public-records request may be needed. Warren County's Government Document Center contains public-records access ordinances and a public-records request form. Indexed text for the 2021 ordinance shows a request form for Warren County, Indiana with fields for the person submitting the request, name, address, city, state, ZIP code, and daytime phone. The 2025 amendment also appears in the county document center.
Indiana's Access to Public Records Act allows inspection and copying of public agency records during regular business hours unless an exception applies. Requests must identify records with reasonable particularity. For jail records, that means the person's full name, approximate booking date, arresting agency if known, and the precise record sought. Investigatory records, confidential records, juvenile records, medical records, protected victim information, and sealed or expunged records may be limited.
Use Warren County's Government Document Center for the local records materials and Indiana Code Title 5 for APRA sections.
