Lookup Henry County Jail Inmates

Henry County Jail Overview

The official Henry County Jail page describes the jail as a secure facility operated by the Henry County Sheriff's Office. The Jail Division directory lists the inmate information phone line and jail command staff. The broader Sheriff's Office and Detention Center directory places the sheriff's office, detention center, dispatch, and jail divisions at the same Ron Lampe Way campus in New Castle.

Henry County Jail is the local custody facility, not the state prison. People arrested by local agencies, held on local warrants, waiting for early court events, serving short local sentences, or held for another authority may pass through the jail. New Castle Correctional Facility is a separate IDOC prison nearby, and its population is searched with the IDOC locator. This distinction is important because a Henry County jail custody search will not always find a person who has already moved to state prison after sentencing.

The county jail page names GED and treatment programming. Older official handbook material also describes medical requests, law library access, religious services, commissary, mail, grievance procedures, recreation, and work-release or community-service topics. Because the current handbook PDF is official but scanned, operational details from older extractable handbook text should be verified against the current handbook or jail staff before travel, deposits, or mail decisions.

The county jail page shown in the official Henry County Jail source is captured in the screenshot below.

The image fits this facility page because it shows the county's own jail source, including the SAVIN/VINELink direction rather than a county-hosted roster.

Henry County Jail Capacity

Capacity must be handled carefully for Henry County Jail. The official county jail page says the jail is a secure 130-bed facility. Construction and design sources for the replacement sheriff's office and detention center describe a later jail project with 240 to 246 beds. Pauly Jail reports a 56,591-square-foot project that began on October 26, 2020, was completed on March 30, 2022, cost $25.9 million, and had capacity for 246 beds. Elevatus describes the new detention center as a response to an outdated and overpopulated downtown jail.

Vera Incarceration Trends reported a Henry County jail population estimate of 221 for 2024 and 216 for 2023. Those figures are trend data, not a live roster count. For a real-time question about whether one person is held at Henry County Jail today, use SAVIN/VINELink and the jail information phone line rather than capacity tables.

Search Henry County Jail Custody

Henry County does not publish a confirmed county-hosted jail roster in the official materials reviewed. The county jail page directs users to Indiana SAVIN and VINELink for offender searches in Indiana county jails or IDOC, and the county warns that not all jails participate in the SAVIN program. That means the best Henry County Jail inmate lookup is a chain, not one local roster page.

1. Start at the county-linked SAVIN or VINE Indiana search path and search by last name first.
2. Add first name, case or cause number, or offender ID if the first search is too broad.
3. If the person does not appear, call Henry County Jail inmate information at 765-529-5201.
4. If the person has been sentenced to prison, use IDOC Incarcerated Search instead of the county jail path.
5. For court charges after booking, search Indiana MyCase.

INjail Public Access is a statewide portal for participating counties, but Henry County participation and a live Henry County profile were not confirmed in the research. It should be treated as a possible secondary search point, not as proof that the county has its own online roster.

Henry County Jail Contact

Use the jail information line for current custody questions, release questions, and basic facility routing. Use the sheriff records request path when the question is about a report, booking record, booking photo, or other record not available through online custody tools.

Visit Henry County Jail

The current county jail page does not publish a public visitation calendar, online scheduling vendor, or current remote-video rate table. Older official handbook material gives a detailed non-contact electronic visitation schedule by block. It says visitors must arrive at least 10 minutes before scheduled visitation, sign in, provide identification, and understand that visitation phones and areas are monitored by audio and video. Because that schedule comes from older extractable handbook text, verify current times with the jail before traveling.

Attorney and clergy visits are treated differently in the handbook material and may be arranged at reasonable times with identification, except during meals. A family or friend visit should not be planned from old schedule text alone.

Mail Money and Phone

Handbook material gives a local mail format for Henry County Jail. Incoming mail must include the sender's full name and address. Mail is subject to opening and inspection for safety and security, while legal mail is opened and inspected in the inmate's presence and not read. Mail for people no longer housed may be returned to sender. Do not drop off notes, money, money orders, or photos for personal delivery unless current jail rules permit it.

Commissary funds may be used for commissary purchases, phone time, medical services, haircut charges, bond, court costs, restitution, property damage, and release-fund processing. Current vendors and fees should be checked with the jail because the county jail page did not publish a current public rate table.

Henry County Jail Records

Booking and intake records begin when a person is brought to Henry County Jail after arrest or court commitment. Older handbook material says cash in the person's possession is placed into the commissary account, while checks are listed as property until processed. Intake items may include a commissary account number, inmate identification, phone ID, clothing, bedding, towel, shower shoes, hygiene items, and housing assignment. The jail page does not publish booking refresh times or how long released people remain searchable.

For records that do not appear through SAVIN/VINELink, use the Henry County Sheriff APRA request path. The research lists mail to the Sheriff's Department at 1033 Ron Lampe Way, email to jguy@henrycounty.in.gov, and fax to 765-521-3745. The sheriff form lists fees for some records, including state crash reports, body or car camera video, and 911 audio, while standard reports show no current fee in the captured form. Indiana Code 5-14-3-5 requires release of certain arrest, summons, jail, lock-up, and daily-log information, but investigatory records may still be withheld under APRA exceptions.

Henry County Jail Programs

Henry County's jail page says the facility offers programs to prepare inmates for life outside jail, including GED and treatment programs. Older handbook material adds references to NA/AA meetings, work release, community service, job search, law library, religious services, recreation, grievance procedures, and medical services. A work-release reference should be treated with care because a separate current Annex facility was not confirmed for the adult facility map.

Recent jail context also matters. Federal court records include Bell v. Sheriff of Henry County, a class-action conditions case. The U.S. Attorney's Office announced an October 24, 2024 excessive-force charge against a former Henry County Jail corrections officer and a May 13, 2025 probation sentence after a guilty plea. Those official sources are conditions context, not a reason to ignore current jail rules. Custody, visitation, and release facts still need direct confirmation with the jail.
