Warren County Jail Overview
Warren County Jail, also listed locally as the Warren County Sheriff Department Jail, is operated by the Warren County Sheriff's Office. The official sheriff and jail 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, administrative staff, and deputies. The jail division is open around the clock, while the sheriff's public office hours are posted for regular weekday business.
The facility holds people arrested in Warren County, local pretrial detainees, local sentenced inmates, and people held under sheriff authority. It is not a state prison, federal prison, or immigration detention center. If a person is sentenced to Indiana Department of Correction custody, the Warren County Jail search path no longer controls the record. If a person is held under federal or immigration authority, use the federal or ICE search systems described below.
The official sheriff page source in the image manifest shows the jail's local address, phone, hours, sheriff staff, and the 24-hour jail division note.
Because the sheriff page does not publish a county-hosted roster link, the statewide county-jail portal and the jail phone line are the practical search path.
Warren County Jail Capacity and Population
Warren County's own sheriff page does not publish a bed count or live population dashboard. The strongest located capacity and population figures come from high-authority datasets rather than a current county dashboard. IndyStar's Indiana jail inspection database, based on Indiana Department of Correction jail inspection records and county sheriff sources, listed Warren County Jail at 42 total beds and 22 people in jail in the 2020 inspection record. The same inspection data reported the jail as 52.38 percent full and not overcrowded, not understaffed, and not over capacity.
The Vera Institute's incarceration trends county dataset lists Warren County at 40 rated beds for the 2015 to 2019 period and a 2019 jail population of 25. Vera also listed 17 pretrial and 8 sentenced people in 2019, with 81 annual admits. Those Vera figures are historical dataset measures, not a sheriff-issued current count. For current custody, use INjail and call the jail.
Look Up Warren County Jail Inmates
The official online route located for Warren County Jail custody lookup is the Indiana County Jail Public Portal. Warren County appears as a participating county, and the county route is public.indianajail.gov/counties/18171/results. The portal is a JavaScript application, so results may require the rendered page rather than a static browser preview.
The INjail search form source in the image manifest shows the statewide county jail search screen used for Warren County roster searches.
Use the county filter to reduce statewide matches, then confirm the person is actually listed for Warren County before relying on the result.
- Open the Indiana County Jail Public Portal search page or the Warren County results route.
- Enter at least one search value. Last name is the usual starting point, and first name or birth date can narrow common names.
- Select County = Warren when using the statewide search page.
- Use Booked Between for recent bookings or Released Between for recently released entries.
- Review the result fields, including name, age, race, sex, booked on, released on, and the view action.
- If the person does not appear, call Warren County Jail at (765) 764-4367 because new bookings, releases, transfers, holds, and spelling issues may not resolve online.
| Portal Field | Type | Required | Warren County Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | No, but at least one value is required | Best first search when no booking number is known. |
| First Name | Text | No | Narrows common last names. |
| Birth Date | Date picker | No | Useful for matching a common name to the right person. |
| County | Dropdown | No | Choose Warren to limit results to Warren County Jail records. |
| Booked Between | Date range | No | Useful for recent arrests and intake checks. |
| Released Between | Date range | No | Useful when the person may have already left custody. |
A person arrested in Warren County may start in the local jail path and later move to a different system. If the person is sentenced to state prison, search the Indiana Department of Correction incarcerated individual locator by name or DOC number. IDOC is for sentenced state custody, not ordinary pretrial Warren County Jail custody. IDOC intake facilities and support hub rules are separate from Warren County Jail visitation, mail, money, and commissary procedures.
If a person is in federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator for federal inmates from 1982 to present. That locator is not for Warren County Jail or IDOC-only custody. If immigration custody is involved, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, which searches by A-number or biographical details such as full name, country of birth, and date of birth. ICE ODLS is not a county mugshot or jail roster site. Indiana VINE is also available through the Indiana VINELink page for custody and case notifications.
Warren County Jail Address and Contact
Use the jail phone line for custody confirmation, visitor routing, bond logistics, current roster questions, and rules not published online. Use the Warren County Government Document Center for county public-records ordinances and forms when a written request is needed. The courthouse and court pages are separate from the jail, so court dates and filed charges should be checked through Warren Circuit Court or the Clerk.

Warren County Jail Mail Money
The official sheriff page reviewed does not publish an inmate mail format, mail-scanning policy, books or magazine rule, phone provider, video provider, commissary vendor, online deposit portal, kiosk rule, or deposit fee schedule. County code snippets and a 2019 county resolution support that commissary accounts and sheriff commissary fund expenditures exist, but they do not identify a public vendor or current deposit workflow. Do not borrow a vendor name from another Indiana county.

Booking and Intake at Warren County Jail
Warren County does not publish a detailed local booking-process page. The supported process is built from the sheriff's jail responsibility, the INjail field inventory, and Indiana public-record rules. A local arrest may be made by the sheriff, Williamsport Police, West Lebanon Police, Indiana State Police, DNR, or another agency working in Warren County. Fountain Warren Regional Dispatch Center serves Warren County Sheriff Department, Williamsport Police Department, West Lebanon Police Department, Warren County EMS, fire departments, probation, prosecutor contacts, DNR, and Indiana State Police Lafayette Post District 14.
At intake, jail staff generally create records for identity, booking date, arrest date, arresting agency or officer, release status, holds, cases, and possible booking charges. Indiana APRA and IC 5-14-3-5 support public access to certain jailed-person information, including identifying information, reason for placement, the person or order holding the person, time and date received, time and date discharged or transferred, and bail or bond amount if fixed. Medical screening, classification, property handling, and release timing are not published in detail by Warren County, so call the jail for current operational questions.
About Warren County Jail
The Warren County Jail is the only local detention facility identified in the Warren County facility map. No separate Warren County work-release annex, regional jail, city jail, state prison, BOP prison, or ICE detention facility was located in official Warren County sources. Williamsport and West Lebanon maintain police contacts, but their official pages do not describe municipal lockups or longer-term detention facilities. The practical local custody path is Warren County Sheriff's Office and Warren County Jail first, then Warren Circuit Court and the prosecutor for filed charges, then IDOC, BOP, or ICE if custody changes systems.
No construction year, pod layout, classification levels, inmate handbook, grievance procedure, PREA page, accreditation statement, or jail-program page was located in the official Warren County web materials reviewed. County code snippets reference inmate medical co-payments and commissary-account deductions, and Indiana county jail standards and IDOC Jail Services Division policy provide a statewide inspection framework for county jails.
Note: Confirm custody, visitation, mail, money, and release details with Warren County Jail before traveling or sending funds.
