Cass County, Indiana Jail Roster

To find an inmate in Cass County, start with the Cass County Jail page on IN.gov, which links to current custody information maintained by the elected Cass County Sheriff. For direct roster inquiries, call the jail at (574) 753-7800. Cass County sits in north-central Indiana and books arrestees through the Sheriff’s Office in Logansport.

Searching the Cass County jail roster

Newly booked inmates in Cass County typically appear on the roster within a few hours of booking, once the Cass County Sheriff’s Office completes the intake process. Booking records are public under Indiana’s Access to Public Records Act (Ind. Code § 5-14-3), so the roster reflects current custody as soon as staff enter the record.

Use these steps to search:

1. Go to the Cass County Jail page on IN.gov.
2. Follow the link to current inmate information or use the site’s search function to look up a name.
3. Search by last name. If the name is common, add a first name or date of birth to narrow results.
4. If the online page does not return a result, call the jail directly at (574) 753-7800 to confirm custody status by phone.

For detention-related inquiries, call the Cass County custodial unit at (574) 753-7800 rather than the main Logansport Police Department line — the Sheriff’s Office handles jail records for the county.

What the roster does (and doesn’t) show

The Cass County jail roster refreshes as staff process new bookings; it is not a real-time feed. A record entered at 2 a.m. may not be visible until the next processing cycle. Check back if a name doesn’t appear right away.

The roster shows adults held in the Cass County Jail on county charges. It does not display juveniles, whose records are sealed by law. It will not show someone held on a federal detainer at a federal facility, or a person who has already been released, transferred to state prison, or moved to a medical facility for treatment. Indiana’s statewide court portal, MyCase, can show case filings once a charge is formally filed — but MyCase is a court tool, not a custody tool, and a booking may precede any court filing by hours or days.

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

If someone was just booked tonight

Call the Cass County Jail at (574) 753-7800 right now — that’s the fastest way to confirm custody. That’s a hard thing to have to do, but it’s the right first step. The line is staffed around the clock for custody questions, so you don’t need to wait until morning to get an answer.

Bond is set at first appearance, which in Indiana typically happens within 24 to 72 hours of booking. Calling tonight won’t get you the bond amount — that number doesn’t exist yet. What the call can confirm is whether the person is in custody and when the first appearance is scheduled. That’s what you need right now.

Visitation is not available the night of booking. It’s a long night, and that part is genuinely hard. Visiting hours begin the following day at the earliest; call the jail to confirm the schedule before making the trip, since hours can vary. For general visitation information, the Cass County Jail page is the starting point.

Tomorrow morning, your next actions are: call the Cass County Clerk’s office to ask about the case number once charges are filed; check MyCase for any court filings; and attend the first appearance if you’re able. If the person needs an attorney and can’t afford one, the Indiana Public Defender Council can help locate a public defender. For licensed bondsmen in Cass County, the Cass County Fines & Fees page lists the Bail Bond Board’s licensed bondsmen.

If someone isn’t on the Cass County roster

Call the jail at (574) 753-7800 before drawing conclusions. A booking that happened within the last few hours may not yet have cleared the intake queue and appeared online. That’s the most common reason a name doesn’t show up.

• Medical hold: A person taken to a hospital for medical evaluation after arrest will not appear on the jail roster. The arresting agency holds the case, but the individual is at a medical facility, not the jail. Call the Sheriff’s Office to ask whether a medical hold applies.
• Transfer to state prison: If the person is serving a sentence or was transferred to an Indiana Department of Correction facility, search the IDOC Offender Search at Indiana DOC Offender / Incarcerated Locator.
• Released: The person may have been released on bond, on their own recognizance, or after charges were not filed. The roster only shows current detainees.
• Neighboring county: An arrest by a state or municipal agency may result in booking in an adjacent county — Carroll, Miami, Fulton, Pulaski, or White — depending on the arresting jurisdiction.
• Federal custody: Federal charges result in booking at a federal detention facility, which never appears on a county roster. Search federal cases through PACER.
• Custody notification: Register for automated alerts through Vinelink (VINELink), Indiana’s victim notification system, which tracks custody status changes.

For inmates in other counties or states

The Cass County roster only covers people held locally. A nationwide search tool may help fill gaps that local portals often leave — including people who may be held in another Indiana county, another state, or federal custody that county rosters never display. Results may include booking records from multiple jurisdictions and should be treated as a starting point.

This tool is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and may not be used to screen anyone for employment, housing, credit, or any other purpose covered by that law.
