Boone County, Indiana Jail Roster

The Boone County Sheriff’s Office runs the county jail in Lebanon, Indiana, and the primary online starting point for an inmate lookup is the Boone County records lookup portal. The Sheriff’s Corrections division also maintains a Jailtracker-based roster for current custody status. Call the Boone County Sheriff’s Office at (765) 483-5710 if the online tool is unavailable or returns no results.

Searching the Boone County jail roster

2 tools serve most Boone County inmate lookups. The county’s online records portal at Records Lookup is the first stop. The Sheriff’s Corrections division also maintains a Jailtracker interface accessible from the Sheriff’s website at Corrections Inmatelookup. Both are accessible on desktop and mobile browsers, though the Jailtracker portal may render more cleanly on a full-screen desktop view.

1. Open the Boone County records lookup portal or the Sheriff’s Jailtracker page.
2. Search by last name. Enter the full last name first; partial-name searches may return no results.
3. Review the results list for booking date, charge, and current custody status.
4. If no result appears, call the Boone County Sheriff’s Office at (765) 483-5710 to confirm directly.

The Boone County Courthouse is located at 202 Courthouse Square, Lebanon, IN 46052. Free parking is available in front of the building if you need to visit in person. The Clerk’s office closes for lunch from 12–1 PM — confirm hours before visiting.

What the roster does (and doesn’t) show

The Boone County jail roster refreshes periodically, but the display interval is not published on the Sheriff’s site. Treat any result as a snapshot, not a real-time feed. A booking that occurred within the last few hours may not yet appear online. Confirm numbers and hours before visiting or calling.

The roster also has structural limits. Juvenile detainees are not listed publicly. People held on federal immigration detainers at the Boone County Jail — which ICE has used as a detention facility — appear in federal custody records, not the county roster. Cases that have been expunged under Indiana’s Second Chance Law (Ind. Code § 35-38-9) are removed from public view. A person transferred to an Indiana Department of Correction facility after sentencing will no longer appear on the county roster; use the IDOC offender search at Indiana DOC Offender / Incarcerated Locator for sentenced individuals. Court case records for Boone County — including charges and case status — are separately searchable through the statewide MyCase portal and the Indiana Judicial Branch: Boone County page.

If you’re reading this because someone was just booked tonight, the section below is for you.

If someone was just booked tonight

24 to 72 hours is the typical window between booking and a first court appearance in Indiana — and tonight, the fastest way to confirm custody is a phone call. Call the (765) 483-5710 — that’s the Boone County Sheriff’s Office. The line is staffed around the clock for custody questions, so calling at 11 PM is fine. Give them the full name and date of birth if you have it. That’s the hard part right now, but it’s the right move.

Bond is set at first appearance, not at booking. You won’t know the amount tonight — that’s normal and expected. Calling the Sheriff now confirms whether the person is in custody and can tell you when the first appearance is scheduled. That hearing is where bond gets addressed. Write down the case number if they give you one; you’ll need it at the Boone County Clerk’s office, which you can reach at (765) 482-3510. Note that the Clerk’s office closes for lunch from 12–1 PM on weekdays, so plan your morning call accordingly.

Visitation won’t happen tonight — that’s a long night, and it’s the same for everyone in this situation. Visitation hours at the Boone County Jail typically begin the following day. Call the Sheriff’s Office in the morning to get the current schedule. If you need to put money on the books for commissary, the Sheriff’s Office accepts money orders made out to Boone County Sheriff’s Department with the inmate’s name written clearly on the envelope.

Your next-morning checklist: call the Clerk at (765) 482-3510 for case information, attend or confirm the first appearance time, and contact an attorney if you haven’t already. Indiana’s public defender locator is at Indiana Public Defender Council if cost is a concern. Bond payments at the Sheriff’s Office are accepted Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and require valid ID — plan for that window.

If someone isn’t on the Boone County County roster

A missing name doesn’t always mean the person wasn’t booked. The most common reason is timing: the roster may not yet reflect a booking that happened within the last several hours. Call the Boone County Sheriff’s Office at (765) 483-5710 to confirm whether the person was booked or has already been released before assuming the roster is complete.

• Transferred to state custody: If the person was sentenced or transferred to an Indiana Department of Correction facility, search the IDOC offender locator at Indiana DOC Offender / Incarcerated Locator.
• Released before roster update: Short-hold arrests sometimes result in release before the online roster reflects the booking. The Sheriff’s Office can confirm.
• Held in a neighboring county: Arrests by Indiana State Police or on warrants from another jurisdiction may result in booking in Hamilton, Hendricks, Clinton, or Tippecanoe County jails instead.
• Federal custody: Arrests on federal charges or immigration detainers go to federal facilities and never appear on county rosters.
• Custody notification via VINELink: Register for automated custody alerts at Vinelink to receive notification when custody status changes.

If you can’t find them in Boone County

A nationwide records search may help fill gaps that local portals often leave — particularly when someone may be held in another county’s jail, another state, or federal custody that the Boone County roster cannot display. The tool below is a third-party database; per-jurisdiction completeness varies and results should be treated as a starting point.
