Clinton County Jail Overview

Clinton County Sheriff's Office operates Clinton County Jail at 301 E Walnut St, Frankfort, IN 46041. The jail is the local custody point for pretrial detainees, people booked after warrant service, people committed to institution, sentenced county inmates, holding inmates, inmate workers, and work-release participants. The same physical address is also listed by ICE for Clinton County Sheriff's Office under the Chicago Field Office, so immigration custody questions may require both the local jail number and the ICE detainee locator.

The facility layout in the sheriff's public materials is more specific than a simple jail label. Visitation is divided by A-Pod maximum security, B-Pod through H-Pod, work-release dorms, inmate workers, and holding inmates. That pod structure matters because visitation times are tied to housing assignment. It also helps explain why a roster match is only the first step. The Clinton County Jail roster can show that a person is in county custody, but a visitor still needs the housing unit before choosing the right visit slot.

The Clinton County Sheriff's Office home screen shows the agency's app-based public site, including jail information, inmate search, commissary, inmate communication, JailATM, PREA, public-record requests, photo requests, sex offenders, tips, most wanted, and press releases.

The sheriff site is the local starting point because Clinton County's public jail information is published through the sheriff's OCV web and mobile app system, not through a static county department page.

Clinton County Jail Population

Current rated bed capacity was not located in the official sheriff or state public materials reviewed for Clinton County Jail. The best sourced jail-population figures in the research come from outside county annual reporting. The Prison Policy Initiative Census 2020 correctional-population dataset lists a Clinton Co. Jail local correctional population of 138 for December 31, 2013. A Vera Clinton County factsheet reports that 141 people were incarcerated in Clinton County on an average day in May 2022, with the jail population down 19 percent from May 2019 to May 2022.

Those figures should not be read as today's live count. The Clinton County live roster feed is the better tool for current names, but it is not an official annual average, inspection report, or rated-capacity source. STATS Indiana gives county context: the 2025 Clinton County population estimate is 33,322, and Frankfort's 2025 population is 16,837. Using the Vera May 2022 average-day figure against the 2025 county estimate gives a rough calculated rate near 423 people in jail per 100,000 residents. That rate is an analytical comparison, not a published county rate.

Lookup Clinton County Jail Inmates

Use the Clinton County Sheriff's inmate search for current county-jail custody. The statewide Indiana County Jail Public Portal was inspected, but Clinton County was not listed among the available counties during research, so the sheriff's roster is the local source for this facility. Roster entries can include the inmate name, inmate ID, booking date, age, gender, race, height, weight, eye color, arrest date, hair color, arresting agency, charges, and booking-photo image URLs.

Different custody systems cover different people. If someone has been sentenced to an Indiana state prison, search the Indiana Department of Correction incarcerated search. If the person is a federal sentenced prisoner, use the BOP inmate locator, which covers federal inmates from 1982 to the present. If the question is immigration detention, use ICE ODLS and note that ICE also lists Clinton County Sheriff's Office as a detention facility. For court charges after a jail booking, use Indiana MyCase.

1. Open the Clinton County Sheriff's inmate search and search the current roster by name.
2. Compare the roster details with the person's age, booking date, arresting agency, and charge labels.
3. Call jail information at (765) 659-6396 if the roster is unavailable, the name spelling is uncertain, or housing assignment is needed.
4. Move to IDOC, BOP, or ICE only when the person is no longer a county-jail inmate or the case type points outside local custody.

The sheriff's inmate search page is the local roster page for Clinton County Jail.

Use that roster for county custody first, then branch to state, federal, immigration, or court systems only when the roster does not match the kind of custody being checked.

Clinton County Jail Contact

Clinton County Jail and the Clinton County Sheriff's Office share the Walnut Street address used in both sheriff and ICE facility materials. For routine jail questions, the jail information number is the best first call. For sheriff office business and PREA reporting, the research identifies a separate sheriff/PREA number. ICE questions may also involve the Chicago Field Office number, especially when the person is in immigration custody rather than held only on a county criminal case.

Clinton County Jail Visits

Clinton County Jail visits are scheduled by the inmate's housing assignment. The sheriff's inmate information page says general population visits are Saturday and Sunday except for maximum-security inmates, whose A-Pod cells have weekday times. To check housing assignment or ask whether a person is on the approved visitor list, call (765) 659-6396 before traveling. Visitors must report to the Central Control Officer at least ten minutes before the visit time. Late visitors are not permitted to visit.

Space is limited and availability is first come, first served. Each inmate may have three visitors per weekend, and children or babies count toward that total. Visitors under 18 must be with an adult and cannot stay in the lobby unsupervised. People on parole, probation, or community corrections are not permitted to visit. Cell phones, electronic devices, weapons, jackets, coats, strollers, baby seats, and other items are barred from the visitation area. Visitors pass through a metal detector, and visitors with surgically embedded metal need a doctor's note.

The sheriff's inmate information page publishes the Clinton County Jail visit schedule and visitor rules.

The schedule is housing-driven, so a roster entry should be paired with a housing confirmation before a visitor chooses a time.

Clinton County Jail Money

Inmate communication at Clinton County Jail must be scheduled 24 hours in advance through InmateSales.com or through the lobby kiosk at the Sheriff's Office. The research does not identify a separate local fee schedule for calls or video visits, so the important county-specific rule is the advance scheduling requirement. The same jail information number can be used if a family member is unsure whether the person is eligible for communication or what housing unit applies.

Money can be deposited into an inmate trust or commissary account by cash, credit card, money order, or cashier's check. The front lobby kiosk accepts cash and credit cards 24 hours a day. The sheriff's commissary page links online deposits through JailATM. Money orders and cashier's checks must be mailed to the Clinton County Sheriff's Office, made out on the pay line as CCSO/Inmate's Name, and completed with the sender's name on the submitter line. Torn, ripped, or improperly completed money orders are not accepted.

The sheriff's inmate communication page identifies InmateSales scheduling and the lobby kiosk option.

That 24-hour scheduling rule is separate from money deposits, which use the lobby kiosk, JailATM, or mailed money order process.

Clinton County Jail Booking

Booking at Clinton County Jail begins after an arrest, warrant service, court commitment, or transport by another agency. The public roster shows the data that flows from that intake process: booking date, arrest date, arresting agency, physical descriptors, and charges. A person may appear on the roster as a pretrial detainee, a warrant-service arrest, a county inmate, a holding inmate, an inmate worker, or a work-release participant, depending on why the person is in custody and how the jail classifies the person after intake.

Classification means the jail's housing decision after intake review. At Clinton County Jail, the public visit schedule shows why that decision matters in daily practice. A-Pod is maximum security, other pods have weekend visit times, holding inmates have a separate Sunday time, and work release is split into dorms 167-168, 169-170, and 171. A county booking may later connect to court records in MyCase, transfer to IDOC after a state sentence, or involve ICE if immigration custody applies.

Clinton County Jail Programs

Official program detail found for the jail is limited, but the research identifies several local custody and supervision points. The jail schedule lists work release dorms and inmate workers, which shows that not every person in the building is in the same custody status. Clinton County Community Corrections provides the broader county program context. Its county page describes community-based supervision as a sentencing alternative, an intermediate sanction, and a re-entry or transitional service that can support IDOC work release and the Community Transition Program outside ordinary jail custody.

The Clinton County Jail PREA page states a zero-tolerance policy for sexual assault and sexual misconduct. PREA reports may be made to the Jail Commander or Sheriff at (765) 659-6393 or to the PREA Hotline at (877) 385-5877. No official GED, substance-abuse, mental-health, medical co-pay, grievance, religious-services, or accreditation details were located in the sheriff content reviewed, so those topics should be confirmed with the jail before assuming a program exists.

Clinton County Jail App

The sheriff's website is closely tied to the Clinton County Sheriff's Office mobile app. The app is identified as Clinton County Sheriff's Office (IN) through the OCV app share page, with store pages for Clinton County Sheriff Indiana on Apple and Clinton County Sheriff Indiana on Google Play. The app and website expose jail-related tools such as Inmate Search, Inmate Info, Commissary, Inmate Communication, JailATM, Jail Officers, PREA, Public Records Request, Request for Photos, Request for Videos, Most Wanted, Sex Offenders, Press Release, Submit a Tip, and Patrol Request.

Mobile access can matter because the sheriff's jail content is served through app-style pages and feed endpoints. If a browser does not load the roster, communication, commissary, or public-record request feature cleanly, the sheriff app may provide a more direct route to the same public feature list. The app does not replace the custody systems themselves. County custody still starts with the sheriff roster, state prison custody with IDOC, federal prison custody with BOP, immigration detention with ICE ODLS, and court charges with Indiana MyCase.
