Clinton County Jail Roster
The official local lookup starts with the Clinton County Sheriff's Office inmate search. The sheriff site for Sheriff Richard Kelly's office runs on an OCV web and app platform, and the roster is backed by the public RTJB inmate feed at the live Clinton County inmate feed. The feed is free, public, and set up as a searchable list. The manifest shows the roster is sorted by date in descending order by default, so the newest booking dates appear first when the feed loads.
Clinton County inmate records in this roster are local jail records. They cover people booked into Clinton County Jail, including pretrial detainees, warrant-service arrests, commitments, county inmates, work-release inmates, holding inmates, and ICE detainees when held at the same listed facility. They do not replace Indiana court records, IDOC prison records, BOP federal custody records, or ICE ODLS search results. A person can leave the Clinton County jail roster after release or transfer while still having a pending court case or another custody status elsewhere.
Custody scope: The Clinton County roster is the local jail source. Sentenced Indiana prison custody belongs in IDOC, federal sentenced custody belongs in BOP, and immigration detention should be checked through ICE ODLS or the jail phone line.
Use the Clinton County Roster
Search by name first. The Clinton County roster feed includes visible text from each entry, so a search may also match a charge label or agency abbreviation. If the public page does not load, use a modern browser or the Clinton County Sheriff Indiana mobile app because the website and app use the same OCV content source. If the person is not found, do not assume there is no custody event. The person may be newly booked, released, transferred to IDOC, held for ICE, in another county, or listed under a different name spelling.
- Open the sheriff inmate search page and let the roster feed load.
- Enter the last name or full name in the visible search field. Try alternate spellings if the first search fails.
- Sort or scan by date if the page offers the sort control. The OCV setup uses newest booking date first by default.
- Open or review the matching roster entry. Confirm the name, Inmate ID, booking date, arrest date, arresting agency, and charges.
- Call the jail information line at (765) 659-6396 when the roster is unclear, when a housing assignment is needed for visits, or when an ICE listing points to Clinton County.
- Use the sheriff's official public-record request form when an older booking, copy, or non-online detail is needed.
The Clinton County sheriff app is also part of the access chain. The OCV share page for Clinton County Sheriff's Office links the mobile app, and the research manifest shows inmate search, inmate info, public-record requests, photo requests, video requests, jail officers, commissary, and inmate communication features in the same app system.
Clinton County Search Fields
The roster's public configuration confirms search and sort controls, but the exact rendered placeholder text is not exposed in the JSON shell. The safest use is a simple name search, then a scan of matching current entries. Clinton County does not appear in the statewide INjail county list found during research, so the county sheriff's OCV roster is the local roster source rather than the state county-jail portal.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search | Text search within OCV feed list | Unspecified | The manifest sets showSearch to true. Search visible name text first, then try charge or agency terms if needed. |
| Sort | Sort control | Optional | The manifest sets showSort to true and hideSortByDate to false. |
| Date display | Feed display | Not applicable | Entries display booking dates, and the default sort order is dateDesc. |
| Image / mugshot | Feed media | Not applicable | hideImage is false, and sampled entries included booking-photo URLs. |
| Limit | List setting | Not applicable | The feature rendering limit is five entries, while the feed endpoint returned many current entries. |
Clinton County Inmate Profiles
A Clinton County inmate profile is a booking record, not a full criminal-history report. The public feed showed an inmate name as the title and a content block with local booking facts. It also showed booking-photo image URLs for sampled current entries. The profile fields are useful for identifying the correct person, checking whether the arresting agency was CCSO or another agency, and comparing jail booking charges with later court charges in MyCase. Bond amount, court date, housing location, release status, full date of birth, street address, and detailed statute codes were not visible in the sampled OCV feed entries.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Public display name entered in the roster feed. |
| Mugshot | Small and large JPEG image links attached to sampled current roster entries. |
| Inmate ID | Local Clinton County jail identifier, shown as a number. |
| Booking Date | Date the person was entered into the jail roster, shown in year/month/day format. |
| Age, gender, race | Basic descriptor codes or values. Some race values may be abbreviated or blank. |
| Height, weight, eyes, hair | Physical description fields recorded in jail intake. |
| Arrest Date | Date of arrest, which may match or differ from the booking date. |
| Arresting Agency | Agency code or name. Sampled entries commonly showed CCSO. |
| Charge(s) | Booking charge labels, such as warrant service or offense categories. They are not final court dispositions. |
Booking charges can change when the prosecutor files or amends a court case. For filed charges, hearing dates, bond orders, and dispositions, use Indiana MyCase through the court-record process rather than treating the jail roster as the final legal record.
Clinton County Jail Contact
Clinton County has one primary physical custody facility for the local roster. The jail is operated by the Clinton County Sheriff's Office in Frankfort. ICE also lists Clinton County Sheriff's Office as a detention facility under the Chicago Field Office at the same address, so immigration questions may involve both the jail phone line and ICE ODLS. For visits, the sheriff's inmate-info page says housing assignment controls the public visit schedule, and people should call the jail to ask about the inmate's housing assignment.

Clinton County Lookup Chain
Use the record system that matches the custody level. The county jail roster is best for a person currently booked at Clinton County Jail. The IDOC locator is for sentenced Indiana prisoners. BOP is for federal sentenced prisoners, and ICE ODLS is for immigration detainees. Indiana SAVIN and VINELink are notification systems, not full record copies, but they are useful when custody changes after a jail booking.
| Need | Where to Look | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Current county jail booking | Clinton County inmate search | Current roster, booking photo, Inmate ID, booking date, charge labels. |
| Housing assignment or unclear status | Call (765) 659-6396 | Visit planning, housing schedule, current custody confirmation. |
| Older or non-online record | Sheriff public-record request PDF | Official copy requests and records not visible in the roster. |
| Sentenced state prisoner | IDOC incarcerated locator | DOC number, state facility, sentence information, release-date field. |
| Federal sentenced prisoner | BOP inmate locator | Register number, federal location, release date, federal custody status. |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS and the ICE Clinton County facility listing | A-number or biographical search, ICE facility check, jail phone fallback. |
| Custody-change alerts | Indiana SAVIN or VINELink Indiana | Notification when custody status changes. |
| Mobile access | Apple app or Google Play app | OCV app access to roster, inmate info, records forms, and sheriff features. |
Clinton County Booking Records
Booking starts when a person is arrested, committed, brought in on a warrant, or transported to Clinton County Jail. The roster confirms the basic flow: a local Inmate ID is created, arrest and booking dates are entered, physical descriptor fields are recorded, an arresting agency is listed, charge labels are attached, and a booking photo is added to the public feed. Classification then decides housing, which matters because visitation slots are assigned by pod, cell group, work-release dorm, or holding status.
Booking is not the same as conviction. A roster charge can be an arrest allegation, a warrant category, or a commitment label. Formal court charges may appear later in MyCase, and those court records can show filed counts, amendments, bond orders, hearings, dismissals, convictions, or sentencing. A no-match result in the roster may mean release, transfer, a spelling issue, or a case outside Clinton County. For booking photos tied to current roster entries, the related Clinton County jail mugshots page addresses photo access and requests.

Clinton County Visitation Schedule
The sheriff's inmate-info page states that visits are scheduled according to the inmate's housing assignment. General population visits are on Saturday and Sunday except maximum-security inmates, whose A-Pod cell schedule runs on weekdays. Call the jail information number before making plans because the public roster does not show housing location. Visitors must be on the approved visitation list, must report to the Central Control Officer at least ten minutes before the visit, and late visitors are not permitted to visit.
| Housing Area | Day | Time |
|---|---|---|
| B-Pod Cells #1-5 | Saturday | 9:20 A.M. |
| B-Pod Cells #6-12 | Saturday | 10:00 A.M. |
| C-Pod Cells #1-5 | Saturday | 11:20 A.M. |
| D-Pod Cells #1-7 | Saturday | 2:20 P.M. or 3:00 P.M. |
| E-Pod Cells and Work Release Dorms #167-170 | Saturday | 3:40 P.M. or 4:20 P.M. |
| Work Release Dorm #171 | Saturday | 6:00 P.M. |
| F-Pod and G-Pod | Sunday | 8:00 A.M. through 11:20 A.M. |
| Inmate Workers, H-Pod, Holding Inmates | Sunday | 1:00 P.M. through 3:00 P.M. |
| A-Pod Maximum Security Cells #1-6 | Monday through Friday | 8:00 A.M.; Cell #6 Friday at 9:00 A.M. |
Visitor rules are strict. No cell phones, electronics, weapons, jackets, coats, strollers, baby seats, or other items are allowed in visitation. Visitors pass through a metal detector, and people with surgically embedded metal need a doctor's note. Each inmate may have three visitors per weekend, and children or babies count toward that limit. People on parole, probation, or community corrections are not permitted to visit.
Clinton County Inmate Contact
Communication and money services have separate channels from the roster. The sheriff's inmate communication page says all inmate communication must be scheduled 24 hours in advance through InmateSales or through the lobby kiosk. The commissary page links JailATM web deposits, and the jail lobby kiosk accepts cash and credit cards around the clock. Money orders and cashier's checks must be mailed to the sheriff's office and properly completed.
| Channel | Clinton County Rule |
|---|---|
| Online communication scheduling | Use InmateSales and schedule at least 24 hours in advance. |
| Lobby scheduling | Use the kiosk in the Sheriff's Office lobby. |
| Lobby deposits | Cash and credit card deposits are accepted at the front lobby kiosk. |
| Online deposits | Use the JailATM web deposit link provided by the sheriff commissary page. |
| Money order or cashier's check | Mail to CCSO / Inmate name, 301 E Walnut Street, Frankfort, IN 46041. |
Note: Confirm current custody with the jail before sending money or scheduling a visit, because roster status can change after transfer or release.
Clinton County Records Requests
When a Clinton County inmate record is not available online, use the official request forms linked by the sheriff app manifest. The Request for Public Records PDF is the broad fallback. The Request for Photos PDF is the photo-specific channel, and the video request PDF exists for viewing or purchasing video. The PDF text was not extractable during research, so fees, fields, and turnaround time should be confirmed with the sheriff rather than guessed.
Indiana's Access to Public Records Act provides the general public-record framework, and IC 5-14-3-5 addresses basic law-enforcement daily log and arrest information. Some details can still be withheld or limited, such as investigatory records, sealed records, juvenile records, protected personal information, or records held by a court rather than the sheriff. Filed court charges and official court documents should be checked through MyCase and the court clerk.
