How to Search the Hendricks County Jail Roster
The Town of Avon’s official inmate-lookup page directs Hendricks County searches to Indiana’s public jail system. You do not need to begin with a paid people-search or background-check service.
The Town of Avon specifically explains that inmates are housed at the Hendricks County Jail rather than permanently at the Avon Police Department. If someone was arrested in Avon, the county inmate search is the better place to start.
What You Can Learn From an Inmate Search
The jail search is primarily a custody and booking tool. It can help establish whether a person is listed as currently or recently incarcerated. The exact fields available can vary by record and by the person’s stage in the booking or release process.
| You need to know | Best place to check | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Is the person in Hendricks County Jail? | INjail Public Access | Best first check for local custody. |
| Booking or custody information | INjail / jail staff | Connects the person to the jail record. |
| Current bond information | Jail at 317-745-9332 | The county directs bond questions to the jail 24 hours daily. |
| Filed criminal charges | Indiana MyCase | The court case is separate from the jail booking. |
| Upcoming hearing | Indiana MyCase / court clerk | Court records are the better source for scheduled proceedings. |
| Visitation | Hendricks County Jail / HomeWav | Visitor approval and available times can change. |
| State-prison location | Indiana DOC locator | Use after transfer from county jail into IDOC custody. |
A jail booking does not prove guilt or a criminal conviction. Charges can be amended, dismissed or resolved later in court.
No Hendricks County Inmate Found? Check These Possibilities
A zero-result search does not necessarily mean the person was never arrested. Work through the likely causes before assuming they are not in custody.
- The arrest is very recent. Transport, identification, intake and booking may not be complete yet.
- The spelling is different. Retry the legal first and last name without a nickname, suffix or unnecessary middle name.
- The person was released. A person may bond out, be released by court order or complete processing before you search.
- The person was transferred. They may have moved to another county, Indiana Department of Correction custody or another agency.
- You have the wrong county. Arrest location and jail location are not always the same, especially near county boundaries.
- The record is restricted. Juvenile, sealed, expunged or otherwise confidential information may not appear through a public search.
If you still cannot locate the person after checking the spelling and allowing time for processing, call the jail at 317-745-9332 and provide the person’s full legal name and any other identifying information you have.
Use our Indiana jail inmate search guide for statewide options. If the arrest may have occurred closer to Indianapolis, see the Marion County jail inmate search. For Carmel, Fishers or Noblesville-area custody, use the Hamilton County jail inmate search.
How to Check Bond and Release Information
Hendricks County directs bond questions to the jail at 317-745-9332, with bond information available by phone 24 hours a day. This is the safest first step before giving money to anyone.
- Find the inmate in the roster and confirm you have the correct person.
- Call 317-745-9332 and ask for the current bond amount, bond type and any information staff are permitted to provide.
- Confirm whether the bond is cash, commercial or subject to a court-specific requirement.
- Ask exactly where and how payment must be made before traveling or obtaining a money order.
- Recheck the associated court case because a judge can change bond or release conditions.
The county’s jail information currently explains that a cash bond is 100% of the stated amount and requires an indemnifier but not a bondsman. For a commercial bond, the county states that the bondsman generally receives a nonrefundable 10% of the total bond from the indemnifier. Payment and collateral arrangements with a commercial bondsman are controlled by that bondsman.
Call the jail and verify the current amount and procedure. Jail staff cannot select or contact a commercial bondsman for you, and custody or court conditions can change after an online record was posted.
Find Hendricks County Charges, Court Dates and Case Status
The inmate roster and the court record answer different questions. Once you know which inmate you are looking for, use Indiana MyCase to check public, non-confidential court information.
- Open Indiana MyCase.
- If you have a case number, search directly by that number.
- If not, search by the person’s last name and add the first name or other available information to narrow the matches.
- Confirm that the case is filed in Hendricks County before relying on it.
- Review the chronological case summary for available charges, hearings, filings, orders and case status.
- If a document is not available online, contact the Hendricks County Clerk or the court maintaining the case.
Indiana’s Judicial Branch notes that MyCase is public access to court information, but the online information itself is not the official court record. The court or clerk maintains the official record.
Hendricks County Jail Visitation
Hendricks County Jail currently uses HomeWav for video visitation. Visitors create their own account and are responsible for scheduling their visits.
| Current published visitation rule | What it means |
|---|---|
| Visitor account required | Create a HomeWav account before trying to schedule. |
| New account approval | The jail states new visitor accounts are approved Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. |
| Onsite visit limit | Three 30-minute onsite visits per inmate per week. |
| Advance scheduling | Onsite visits are scheduled at least 24 hours in advance, pending approval. |
| Monday-Friday | 8:30-11:30 a.m., 1:00-5:30 p.m. and 7:00-11:00 p.m. |
| Saturday-Sunday | 1:00-5:30 p.m. and 7:00-11:00 p.m. |
| Remote visits | Remote video visitation is available. |
| Minors | A person under 18 must be accompanied by an adult with a valid HomeWav account. |
The county currently publishes a video-visitation rate of $0.25 per minute. It also states that visits are subject to monitoring and recording. Visitors must dress appropriately, and phones, cameras and recording devices are not allowed in the onsite visitation area.
Schedules, rates and restrictions can change because of classification, discipline, staffing or vendor updates. Check the jail’s current instructions before making a trip.
How Hendricks County Inmate Phone Calls Work
The jail uses HomeWav Voice through its communication system. The county currently lists inmate telephone access in housing areas from approximately 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily, subject to an inmate’s status and facility operations.
- Family and friends can add phone funds through HomeWav.
- HomeWav support and phone-deposit assistance is listed at 1-844-394-6639.
- The jail currently publishes a phone-call rate of $0.20 per minute.
- The county also lists video/text messages at $0.40 per message.
- Newly admitted inmates receive an opportunity to use the system after processing, subject to jail rules.
- Jail staff generally only deliver emergency messages that can be independently verified, such as through a hospital, coroner or funeral home.
Do not rely on an unsolicited caller who claims you must send money through an unusual payment method for an inmate to make a call or be released. Use the jail’s published contact information and approved services.
Send Money for Commissary
The jail provides several ways to place money in an inmate’s commissary account. The most direct local option is the kiosk at the jail entrance.
- Lobby kiosk: available 24 hours a day.
- Cash accepted by kiosk: the county lists $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 bills.
- Cards: the kiosk accepts credit and debit cards.
- Online commissary: use the jail-approved ConnectNetwork service.
- Telephone commissary deposits: 888-988-4768.
- Phone-account deposits: use HomeWav or call 1-844-394-6639.
The county states that commissary is issued on Tuesday and Thursday, with ordering on Monday and Wednesday up to 4 p.m. If an inmate is released or transferred before the order is issued, the county says the amount is credited back to the inmate account.
The jail specifically states that money orders, cash and checks are not accepted through inmate mail. Use the approved kiosk or deposit service instead.
How to Send Mail to a Hendricks County Jail Inmate
For ordinary inmate correspondence, the county publishes the following format:
Prisoner ID Number
P.O. Box 87
Danville, IN 46122-0087
Include the inmate’s prisoner ID and your complete return name and address. The jail states that correspondence without a proper return address is not deliverable and that return-address labels should not be used.
The current Hendricks County Jail incoming-mail policy also says the sender’s name and return address must appear on the correspondence itself as well as on the outside of the envelope.
Do not place prohibited material in inmate correspondence. The current jail policy identifies items such as stickers, glitter, powders, adhesives, U.S. currency, food products and other material considered a safety risk as prohibited. Incoming personal mail can be opened and inspected.
Books and periodicals must follow a different rule. The jail states that family and friends may purchase qualifying books or periodicals directly from the publisher for delivery to the inmate. Hardback books are not permitted under the published incoming-mail policy.
Mail between an inmate at Hendricks County Jail and an inmate in the same facility or another correctional institution is not permitted, including mail forwarded through another person.
Track Release or Custody Changes
If you need to know when someone’s custody status changes rather than performing repeated manual searches, Indiana provides SAVIN, the Statewide Automated Victim Information and Notification service.
- First confirm the correct person using the Hendricks County inmate search.
- Open Indiana SAVIN.
- Find the correct offender and verify the available identifiers.
- Register for the notification options offered by the service.
- Keep your contact information current if a notification is important to you.
Indiana states that SAVIN can provide information and notifications involving custody events such as release or transfer and is available across all 92 counties. SAVIN assistance is available at 1-866-891-0330.
For an urgent safety decision, do not depend solely on an automated alert. Confirm important information with the responsible jail or law-enforcement agency.
If the Person Was Transferred Out of the County Jail
A person can disappear from a county roster because they were released or transferred. Hendricks County also notes that transport information may be withheld for security reasons.
If the criminal case shows that the person was sentenced and transferred to the Indiana Department of Correction, use the Indiana DOC incarcerated-individual search. IDOC allows searches using an offender’s name or DOC number.

| Released but criminal case continues | Indiana MyCase |
| Transferred to an Indiana state prison | Indiana Department of Correction |

| Need custody-change alerts | Indiana SAVIN |

Best Order to Check Hendricks County Custody
Start with the official jail search to confirm the correct inmate. Then use the jail phone for current bond or custody questions, MyCase for court proceedings, the county’s jail instructions for visits, mail and money, and IDOC only if the person has moved into state-prison custody. This prevents you from searching several unrelated systems when one official record can identify the correct next step.
