Search Clark County Inmate Records

Clark County recent arrests are managed at the Michael L. Becher Adult Correctional Complex in Jeffersonville, operated by the Clark County Sheriff's Office. This page covers how to search current booking records, access the jail roster, understand visitation rules, and request arrest records under Indiana law.

Clark County Sheriff and Detention Facility

The Clark County Sheriff's Office is led by Sheriff Scott A. Maples Jr. The office is at 501 E. Court Avenue, Suite 159, Jeffersonville, IN 47130. The main phone number is 812-283-4471, the fax is 812-280-5608, and you can reach the tip line at 812-280-2276. Email goes to sheriff@clarkcosheriff.com. The official website is at clarkcosheriff.com.

All arrests in Clark County are processed at the Michael L. Becher Adult Correctional Complex, also at 501 E. Court Avenue in Jeffersonville. The facility holds up to 700 inmates. When someone is booked, staff follow the requirements of IC 36-2-13-5, collecting fingerprints, photographs, and identifying data. This creates the official arrest record with the person's name, date of birth, charges, arresting officer, and the date and time of the arrest. Under IC 5-14-3-5, all of those details are public. Clark County is the largest county in this batch by population, with nearly 123,000 residents, and the facility handles a correspondingly high volume of bookings.

Search Clark County Arrests and Jail Roster

The Clark County Sheriff's Office runs an online jail roster at clarkcosheriff.com/jail. You can search by name or sort results by booking date. Each listing shows the person's name, booking number, booking date and time, current charges, bond information, custody status, and a mugshot photograph. This is the most direct tool for Clark County recent arrests because the data comes straight from the jail management system at the Becher Complex.

The INjail statewide portal at public.indianajail.gov also covers Clark County. This free system is useful if you want to check multiple Indiana counties at once or if the county's own site is temporarily unavailable. Both systems show current custody status for people held at the Jeffersonville facility.

Indiana Courts MyCase at public.courts.in.gov/mycase adds the court side of Clark County arrests. Once charges are filed, the case appears here with the charge list, assigned judge, and upcoming hearing dates. Search by name, date of birth, or case number at no cost. MyCase covers all Indiana counties and goes back many years for older cases.

Visitation at the Clark County Becher Complex

The Michael L. Becher Adult Correctional Complex uses video visitation through inmatesales.com or by calling 1-866-340-7879. Visits are held bi-weekly and must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance. Each visit lasts a minimum of 15 minutes. Visits may be monitored and recorded. People who want to visit in person must present a valid photo ID at the facility entrance. Visitors may be required to pass through a metal detector or submit to a physical search. The visitor register records name, driver's license number, and the time, date, and name of the inmate visited.

The Clark County Sheriff can deny visitation for several reasons. These include wearing unacceptable clothing, being disruptive, not having a photo ID, having a criminal conviction within the past year, appearing intoxicated, being on probation or parole, or being a minor not accompanied by a parent or guardian. If you plan to visit someone at the Becher Complex, call the Clark County Sheriff at 812-283-4471 ahead of time to confirm your eligibility and check the current visitation schedule.

Clark County Arrest Records and APRA Requests

Indiana's Access to Public Records Act at IC 5-14-3 gives anyone the right to inspect and copy public records from Clark County agencies. Under IC 5-14-3-3, you can inspect records during regular business hours. Clark County arrest records are public under IC 5-14-3-5, which requires disclosure of the arrested person's name, age, and address, the charge, the date, time, and location of the arrest, and the name of the arresting officer. These items must be provided on request regardless of whether the case is still active.

To request records not available online, contact the Clark County Sheriff at 812-283-4471 or email sheriff@clarkcosheriff.com. Some details in active criminal investigations may be temporarily withheld under IC 5-14-3-4's exemptions, but the core booking data is always accessible. If you are involved in an active court case as a defendant, your attorney can obtain police reports and investigation records through the court discovery process. People who want to seal older Clark County arrest records can petition for expungement under IC 35-38-8.

The Indiana Courts MyCase portal is free to use and requires no account, giving open access to Clark County criminal case records filed after arrest bookings in Jeffersonville.

Note: An arrest is an accusation only. Every person booked at the Clark County Becher Complex is presumed innocent under Indiana law until a court finds them guilty.
