Find a Morgan County Jail Inmate and Check Current Custody
If someone was arrested in Morgan County, Indiana, start with the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office inmate locator. The county’s official jail page links directly to the public inmate-search system, making it the best starting point for checking current custody, an inmate ID, booking information, charges or available bond details.
How to Search the Morgan County Jail Roster
The Sheriff’s Office currently sends users to its linked inmate locator rather than publishing a long static roster on the jail page. Use this route so you are working from the system selected by Morgan County.
- Open the official Morgan County Jail page. Use the IN.gov Sheriff’s Office page linked above.
- Select “Inmate Locator.” It appears in the County Jail navigation.
- Choose Morgan County when requested. If the search system asks for a state, agency or facility, select Indiana and the Morgan County jail or sheriff entry.
- Search the legal name. Start with the last name and first name used during booking rather than a nickname.
- Check identifying details. Compare available age, inmate ID, facility or other identifying information before assuming a same-name record is the correct person.
- Open the inmate record. Review whatever current booking, charge, bail or custody information is supplied.
- Save the inmate ID. The ID is useful for mail, communication and other jail services.
What the Inmate Search Can Tell You
The exact fields can vary by record, but Morgan County’s sheriff-linked lookup can help you identify the person and move to the next task. Treat the live record as a custody source rather than a complete criminal-history report.
| Information | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Name and identifying details | Confirm you have the correct person, especially with a common name. |
| Inmate or booking ID | Save it for mail, calls, deposits and jail questions. |
| Booking/custody information | Helps confirm whether the person has entered Morgan County Jail custody. |
| Charges | Shows accusations connected with the booking; check MyCase for the filed court case. |
| Bond or bail | Use as a starting point, but verify current amount and bond type before paying. |
| Facility information | Confirms where the person is currently listed. |
If you searched for Morgan County recent arrests, jail bookings, inmate roster, mugshots, booking photos or who is in jail, start with the same inmate locator. A photograph may not be displayed for every record, so absence of a mugshot should not be treated as proof that no booking exists.
If You Cannot Find the Person
A blank inmate search does not always answer the custody question. Work through these checks in order:
- Confirm the spelling of the legal first and last name.
- Try the name without a middle name, suffix or nickname.
- Allow additional time after a very recent arrest.
- Check whether the person has already bonded out or been released.
- Search another Indiana county if the arrest occurred near a county line or the person was transferred.
- Search Indiana MyCase to see whether a criminal case has already been filed.
- Check the Indiana Department of Correction locator if the person may have moved to state-prison custody.
- For a time-sensitive question, contact Morgan County Jail at 765-342-4303.
Find Charges, Case Numbers and Court Dates
The jail roster and the court file answer different questions. After identifying the inmate, use Indiana MyCase for public, non-confidential court information.
- Open Indiana MyCase.
- Search by case number if you already have one.
- If not, use a party search and enter the person’s last name.
- Add the first name, middle name or date of birth when necessary to narrow similar results.
- Confirm the case is connected with Morgan County and the correct defendant.
- Review available charges, chronological case entries, hearings, orders and case status.
Indiana’s Judicial Branch notes that MyCase information is not itself the official court record. Certified or unavailable records must be obtained from the court maintaining the case.
Morgan County Jail Bond and Release Information
The Morgan County Jail inmate handbook describes several bond types. The actual bond in a specific case is determined by the court, so always verify the current record before bringing money or contacting a bondsman.
| Bond type | What it generally means at Morgan County Jail |
|---|---|
| Cash bond | The full amount is posted in cash. The handbook states that the amount, less applicable court fees, may be returned after required court appearances are completed. |
| Surety / professional bond | A licensed bondsman posts the bond and charges a fee. The jail handbook says the fee is generally around 10%, and collateral or a co-signer may be required. |
| Property bond | Sufficient equity in qualifying real property may be used through the jail’s bonding process. |
| Own recognizance (O.R.) | The court may authorize release based on a promise to appear. Jail staff do not decide an O.R. release. |
Bond lobby: 160 N. Park Ave, Martinsville, IN 46151. The currently posted inmate handbook states that bonds are accepted 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays.
Visiting an Inmate
Morgan County Jail’s current visitation page says the facility uses remote video visitation rather than traditional onsite visitation. The communication provider is Combined Public Communications through InmateSales.
- Visitors create an account through InmateSales and request approval.
- The jail currently offers each inmate one free remote visit per week.
- The free visit is 20 minutes.
- Additional remote time is currently listed at $0.20 per minute; provider rates can change.
- Remote availability is listed as 9:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.–10:00 p.m., seven days a week.
- The current jail page says a visit must be scheduled at least 24 hours before the visit date.
- A device with a camera, speaker and reliable internet connection is required.
- Visits can be monitored and recorded.
- Government-issued photo identification with a current address is required for registration.
Follow the current jail page and provider screen at the time you book because schedules, rates and communication policies can change.
Phone Calls, Texting and Communication
Morgan County Jail uses Combined Public Communications (CPC) for inmate phone and communication services.
- Family or friends can set up prepaid communication funds through InmateSales or CPC customer service at 1-877-998-5678.
- A communication-funds kiosk is also available in the main jail lobby.
- The Sheriff’s Office says inmates without calling funds receive three free five-minute calls upon admission.
- Phone, chirping/texting, kiosk and tablet communications may be monitored and recorded.
- Commissary money and phone/visitation balances are separate accounts and should not be treated as interchangeable.
If you receive an inmate call, the automated system should identify it as a correctional-facility call before you accept it.
Send Money or Order Commissary
The official Morgan County page directs inmate trust-account deposits and care-package orders through JailFunds.
| Method | What you need to know |
|---|---|
| Online | Use the JailFunds service linked from the official Morgan County Sheriff’s Office commissary page. |
| Phone | Call 1-855-836-3364. |
| Lobby kiosk | Available at 160 N. Park Ave; have the inmate’s first and last name. |
| Money order | The Sheriff’s Office states that money orders are not accepted. |
| Care package | Approved packages can also be ordered through the jail’s designated online service. |
How to Send Mail to a Morgan County Inmate
Personal mail and legal mail use different addresses. Morgan County Jail scans standard friends-and-family mail off site for electronic delivery to inmates.
Standard non-legal friends and family mail
[Inmate Name – Inmate ID #]
Morgan County Jail, IN
PO Box 76550
Highland Heights, KY 41076
Legal mail
[Inmate Name – Inmate ID #]
Morgan County Jail
160 North Park Avenue
Martinsville, IN 46151
The current jail rules require the correct inmate name and ID plus a return address. Mail cannot exceed 8½ × 11 inches and must be thin enough to pass through a sheet-fed scanner.
Do not include cash, stamps, blank envelopes, stickers, address labels, homemade or musical cards, raised decorations or other prohibited materials. The Sheriff’s Office also restricts colored pages, Internet printouts and various materials that cannot safely pass through the scanning process. Books, magazines, workbooks and similar publications must be sent directly from the publisher to the jail address.
Property and Money Release
The posted Morgan County inmate handbook says an inmate may authorize personal property to be released to family or friends daily from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.. The person collecting it can report to the back bond lobby without prior scheduling, after which staff have the inmate complete the authorization.
An inmate normally must keep one set of clothing unless being transferred to the Indiana Department of Correction. For an IDOC transfer, the handbook says personal property must be released, with legal paperwork, medication and picture identification among the limited items allowed to go with the inmate.
For money released from an inmate’s account, additional approval and identification requirements apply. The Sheriff’s Office limits this process to qualifying immediate family and requires a valid government-issued photo ID for pickup.
Request Morgan County Sheriff Records
If the information you need is not available in the live inmate lookup, Morgan County Sheriff’s Office accepts public-record requests under Indiana’s Access to Public Records Act, subject to applicable exemptions.
- Open the Sheriff’s Office Public Record Request page.
- Download the appropriate public-record request form.
- Describe the record as specifically as possible.
- Send the completed request to sheriffpublicrecords@morgancounty.in.gov.
Remember that a sheriff record and a court record are not the same thing. Use MyCase for the public court docket and the Sheriff’s Office for qualifying law-enforcement or jail records.
If the Inmate Was Transferred to an Indiana State Prison
A person who has left Morgan County Jail after sentencing may eventually appear in the Indiana Department of Correction system instead of the county jail roster.
- Open the IDOC incarcerated-individual locator.
- Search by last name and first name, or use the DOC number if you know it.
- Confirm the correct record and current correctional facility.
- Use that facility’s rules for mail, visitation, phone and money after transfer.
Do not use IDOC as the first search for someone who was only recently arrested in Morgan County. County-jail custody and state-prison custody are separate systems.
Get Notified About Release or Custody Changes
Morgan County directs victims and other users to Indiana SAVIN, the Statewide Automated Victim Information and Notification system. The service can provide custody information and notifications for events such as release or transfer.
The Sheriff’s Office describes SAVIN as free, confidential and available 24 hours a day. This can be more useful than repeatedly checking a roster when you need to know about a future custody change.
