Clinton County Jail Mugshots
Clinton County publishes booking photos through the Clinton County Sheriff's Office inmate search. The roster for Sheriff Richard Kelly's office is an OCV feed, and the public configuration sets hideImage to false. That means images are intended to display with the jail roster entries. The inspected live Clinton County inmate feed included small and large JPEG image URLs under the sheriff's OCV image path for sampled current entries.
The mugshot is one field in a booking record. It is paired with the inmate's name, Inmate ID, booking date, arrest date, physical descriptors, arresting agency, and charge labels. The sheriff site did not publish a fixed retention rule for when a booking photo drops from public view. The feed inspected on June 12, 2026 included entries with booking dates reaching back into 2025, so the right statement is narrow: Clinton County roster photos appear in the current or still-posted feed, but no official removal deadline was found.
What is and isn't public: The public roster can show current booking photos and basic jail entry fields. It does not show every historical booking photo, full birth date, address, bond amount, court date, release status, or a final court disposition.
Find Clinton County Mugshots
The practical path is roster first, sheriff request second. The roster is best when the person is still listed by the jail feed. If the photo is missing, the person is no longer listed, or a copy is needed for a formal purpose, use the sheriff's official photo or public-record request channel. MyCase may show a criminal case after an arrest, but it is not a jail mugshot source.
- Open the Clinton County sheriff inmate search and search by the person's name.
- Review the matching entry for the image, name, Inmate ID, booking date, arrest date, agency, and charges.
- If the website does not load, use the Clinton County Sheriff Indiana app because the app and web roster share the OCV source.
- If no current photo appears, use the official Request for Photos PDF.
- For a broader file or non-photo jail record, use the sheriff's Request for Public Records PDF.
- Call Clinton County Jail at (765) 659-6396 when custody status or housing status must be confirmed before making a request.
The Clinton County Sheriff's Office app share page links the Apple and Google versions of the app. The OCV manifest exposes inmate search, inmate info, public-record requests, photo requests, video requests, commissary, and inmate communication features, so the app can be useful when a mobile browser has trouble with the JavaScript web shell.
Clinton County Photo Fields
A booking photo should be read with the rest of the roster entry. It helps identify the person booked into Clinton County Jail, but it does not prove guilt. The charge field is a booking label, and the final court charge can be different after prosecutor review. For charge status, court events, and dispositions, check Indiana MyCase through the court-record path. For current custody and the photo field, the county roster is the direct source.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Booking Photo | Small and large JPEG image links attached to sampled roster entries. |
| Name | The public roster name as entered by jail staff or the jail system. |
| Inmate ID | Local jail identifier used in the Clinton County roster. |
| Booking Date | Date entered in year/month/day format. |
| Arrest Date | Date law enforcement took the person into custody. |
| Physical Descriptors | Age, gender, race code, height, weight, eye color, and hair color. |
| Arresting Agency | Agency tied to the booking. Sampled entries commonly showed CCSO. |
| Charge(s) | Plain-language charge labels such as warrant service or offense categories, not final convictions. |
Clinton County Mugshot Law
Indiana public-record law supplies the framework for access, while Clinton County's actual roster practice supplies the local answer. The county sheriff publishes booking photos in the public roster feed and also provides a photo request form. That does not mean every image, every old booking photo, or every restricted file must be online. Law-enforcement records can include public daily log information while still limiting investigatory records, sealed records, juvenile information, and protected personal data.
Key Statutes:
IC 5-14-3 - Indiana's Access to Public Records Act gives the general right to inspect or copy public records unless an exception applies.
IC 5-14-3-5 - Indiana's law-enforcement daily log section addresses basic arrest information while preserving limits for restricted details.
For Clinton County jail mugshots, the key point is the access channel. If the current roster shows the booking photo, the public can view it there. If it does not, the official route is a sheriff photo request or public-record request, subject to Indiana law and any applicable exceptions.
Clinton County Photo Retention
The sheriff pages reviewed did not publish a rule such as photos stay online for a set number of hours, days, or years. The OCV feed inspected on June 12, 2026 showed still-posted entries with booking dates from 2026 and 2025. That finding supports a careful statement only: the feed can include current or long-running entries, but the county did not publish a universal online retention promise in the sources reviewed.
Roster visibility can also depend on custody status. A person may be released, transferred to IDOC, held for another agency, moved under an ICE detention process, or booked under a name variant. When a photo no longer appears online, the next source is the sheriff's photo request form. When the question is about a court case rather than the image, Clinton County court records after a jail arrest are checked through MyCase and clerk channels.
Request Clinton County Booking Photos
The official photo request channel is the sheriff's Request for Photos PDF linked from the OCV app manifest. The research pass confirmed the PDF exists and is directly linked, but the form text was not extractable in the local shell. For that reason, do not assume a fee, deadline, ID rule, or required field beyond what the sheriff's form itself asks when opened. Use the person's name, known Inmate ID, booking date, and arrest date if available from the roster, because those details help the office match the right booking record.
| Request Path | Use It For | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Roster photo | Current or still-posted Clinton County jail entry | Use the inmate search first when the person is listed. |
| Request for Photos PDF | Copy of a booking photo or other photo record | Official sheriff form linked by the app manifest. |
| Public Records Request PDF | Broader jail record or non-online booking information | Use when the photo request alone is not enough. |
| Phone or in person | Custody confirmation or routing help | Call (765) 659-6396 or contact the sheriff's office at the jail address. |
Clinton County Mugshot Removal
Removal questions should focus on official records first. Indiana expungement and sealing law, IC 35-38-9, creates a path to restrict qualifying arrest and conviction records, but it does not by itself guarantee that every public or third-party copy will vanish from the internet. If a Clinton County case is dismissed, sealed, or expunged, the court order and the agency that holds the official record are the places to start.
A commercial photo page is not the sheriff's official roster. Do not treat pay-to-remove claims as a county process, and do not rely on a commercial listing for current custody. The Clinton County roster, the sheriff's request forms, MyCase, IDOC, BOP, ICE ODLS, and SAVIN/VINELink are the proper government or government-linked record channels depending on the custody question.
State Federal ICE Photos
Different custody systems handle photos differently. The sampled IDOC detail page in the research did not display a mugshot, even though the IDOC locator showed DOC number, name, demographic fields, facility or location, earliest possible release date, SAVIN link, and sentence information. BOP does not publish federal mugshots in its public inmate locator. ICE ODLS is a custody locator, not a booking-photo gallery. That means Clinton County jail mugshots should not be expected from IDOC, BOP, or ICE just because the county roster has them for jail bookings.
| System | Photo Expectation | Search Use |
|---|---|---|
| Clinton County Jail roster | Booking photos appeared in sampled public entries. | Current or still-posted local jail bookings. |
| IDOC locator | No photo was displayed on the sampled IDOC detail page. | Sentenced Indiana prison custody and sentence fields. |
| BOP inmate locator | BOP does not publish mugshots. | Federal sentenced prisoners from 1982 to present. |
| ICE ODLS | Custody locator, not a photo gallery. | Immigration detainee search by A-number or biographical data. |
Clinton County Photo Limits
A mugshot is a booking image. It is not a conviction, a final sentence, or a full criminal-history report. The roster charge labels found in Clinton County entries can include warrant service, commitment, drug, theft, assault, confinement, and other offense categories, but the court record is where filed charges, amended charges, dismissals, convictions, bond orders, and sentencing appear. Use the Clinton County inmate records process for custody and roster fields, then use MyCase for court facts that follow the arrest.
Note: A booking photo should be matched to the full roster entry and official court record before any conclusion is drawn about a person's case.
