Lawrence County Inmate Records
The official sheriff page names Greg Day as Lawrence County Sheriff and lists the Sheriff's Office at 1420 I Street, Bedford, IN 47421. The main sheriff phone is 812-275-3316, fax is 812-277-2007, emergency phone is 911, the tipline is 812-277-2020, and the jail division phone is 812-277-2014. Sheriff Day's message describes sworn and civilian employees, jail, transport, dispatch, administrative staff, patrol deputies, and detectives.
The Security Center page names Andrew Lynn as Captain and Jail Commander and repeats the jail division phone. The local inmate-information page focuses on visitation and lobby kiosk rules rather than a county-hosted roster. For online jail roster lookup, Lawrence County participates in the Indiana County Jail Public Portal. That portal covers county-jail custody, not state prison and not the full criminal case file. Court cases, charges, bonds, and dispositions are checked in Lawrence County criminal court records through MyCase and clerk channels.
The manifest inmate-information image comes from the official Lawrence County inmate information page.
The county page is the source for kiosk visitation hours, free onsite visit rules, lock-down notices, and lobby conduct rules.
Search Lawrence County Inmates
The Indiana County Jail Public Portal at public.indianajail.gov is the public web search for county-jail custody. It is a statewide portal, so selecting Lawrence County helps avoid results from other counties. The portal can show results by name and custody dates, but it includes a public disclaimer that information may not reflect the most current status and should be verified through official records.
- Open the Indiana County Jail Public Portal.
- Enter last name, first name, birth date, booked date range, released date range, or county filter.
- Select Lawrence County when narrowing the search by county.
- Review result rows for county, name, age, booked date, released date, and the profile view option.
- Call the jail division for current custody questions or use MyCase for court dates, charges, bonds, and dispositions.
The sheriff's official mobile app is another access channel. The county says the Lawrence County Sheriff's Office App includes incarcerated individuals, sex offenders, weather and emergency notifications, anonymous tips, commissary and communication links, job postings, school safety information, and public safety news. The app is not for emergencies.
Lawrence County Jail Roster Fields
The jail portal search fields are practical and narrow. A last name can be enough to begin, while birth date, county, and booked or released date ranges help reduce false matches. The county filter is important because the portal searches Indiana county jails, not only Lawrence County.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | At least one search value required | Max length 50; alpha-only entry in the app |
| First Name | Text | Optional | Max length 50; alpha-only entry |
| Birth Date | Date picker | Optional | Placeholder m/d/yyyy; date picker uses min and max controls |
| County | Dropdown | Optional | Select Lawrence to narrow statewide jail results |
| Booked Between | Date range | Optional | Ranges include Today, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, This Month, and Last Month |
| Released Between | Date range | Optional | Ranges include Last 7 days and Last 30 days |
| Results columns | Table | N/A | County, Name, Age, Booked On, Released On, View |
Lawrence County Inmate Profile
An inmate profile is a custody snapshot. It is helpful for identifying a booking, arrest agency, release status, holds, and cases, but it is not the final court record. A person should use the court case record for charges as filed, hearings, bond orders, pleas, dispositions, judgments, and sentences.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The person listed in the portal profile |
| INjail ID | The statewide jail portal identifier |
| Age | Age displayed in the public result |
| County | The county jail reporting the custody record |
| Booking number | The local booking identifier where available |
| Booked on date | The date the person was booked into county jail |
| Arrest date | The arrest date listed in the profile |
| Arresting agency and officer | The law-enforcement source of the arrest when shown |
| Released date | The release date or a placeholder if not released |
| Holds and cases | Custody holds or related case references |
Note: The portal warns that information may not be current, and all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Lawrence County Jail Contacts
Lawrence County research located one sheriff/jail contact path and one Security Center command page. The sources reviewed did not publish a jail capacity figure, separate satellite jail, or detailed housing-unit list. For records and custody questions not shown online, use the jail division phone. For emergency issues, use 911 rather than email or app messaging.

County Jail vs State Prison
A Lawrence County jail record covers local county custody. If a person has been sentenced and moved to state-prison custody, the official search shifts to the Indiana Department of Correction incarcerated locator. The IDOC locator is separate from the county jail portal and should not be used as proof that a person is or is not in the Lawrence County jail today.
| Custody Type | Primary Search | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Lawrence County jail | Indiana County Jail Public Portal and jail division | County booking, release, holds, and local custody status |
| State prison | IDOC incarcerated locator | Sentenced state-prison custody after transfer from county jail |
| Victim notification | Indiana SAVIN | Notification service connected to custody changes |
| Sex or violent offender registry | IDOC registry | Registry information, not ordinary jail roster custody |
The IDOC incarcerated-locator image source is the official Indiana Department of Correction offender locator page.
The IDOC locator is the right follow-up when a Lawrence County case results in state-prison custody.
Lawrence County Inmate Visitation
Lawrence County's inmate-information page publishes kiosk visitation rules. Kiosk hours are 8:00 AM to 10:30 PM. Each inmate is permitted one free visit per day through onsite kiosks, with charges after that. The page warns that inmates may not be available when a visitor tries to connect, and jail staff will not relay messages, tell inmates to answer, ask why they are not answering, or intervene in visit availability.
| Visit Type | Schedule / Access | Cost | Important Rules |
|---|---|---|---|
| Onsite kiosk visit | 8:00 AM-10:30 PM | One free visit per inmate per day; charges after that | Inmate may be unavailable; jail staff will not relay messages |
| During lock-down | No access for locked-down inmates | N/A | Active visits during an announced lock-down end |
| Children in lobby | Allowed only with supervision | N/A | Children must be supervised and may not roam the lobby |
| Trash and conduct | Always applicable | N/A | Visitors must pick up trash and use receptacles |
Contact, Commissary, and Mail
The sheriff app advertises links to inmate commissary and communication services, but the official county web pages reviewed did not publish the commissary vendor name, pricing, deposit URL, kiosk location, phone deposit number, or accepted payment methods. The reviewed sources also did not publish a full mail policy, phone/video vendor, attorney-visit schedule, visitor ID rule, or dress-code list.
That means the best official path is to use the jail division phone, sheriff app, and county inmate-information page before sending money, mail, or scheduling a visit. Do not invent vendor rules from other Indiana counties. Jail rules can change, and a wrong vendor or wrong mail format can delay contact with an inmate.
Important: The sheriff app is an access channel for commissary and communication links, but county pages did not publish vendor details.
Lawrence County Custody Timing
A Lawrence County inmate record can change before a court case page changes. Booking may happen first, then the court case may show charges, bond, hearings, and disposition later. Release can also appear in the jail portal before every court event is complete. That is why the jail portal, jail division, MyCase, and County Clerk each answer a different question.
Use the jail portal to ask whether a person is or was in county-jail custody. Use MyCase to ask what court case is pending, what charges were filed, whether bond or hearings are listed, and how the case ended. Use the County Clerk for certified court documents and non-online records. Use the jail division for current custody, release, hold, or visitation questions that the portal does not answer.
| Question | Best Official Channel | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Is the person in county custody? | Indiana County Jail Public Portal or jail division | Custody can change faster than court records update |
| What charges were filed? | MyCase or County Clerk | Filed charges are court records, not just booking text |
| Was the person moved to prison? | IDOC incarcerated locator | State custody is outside the county jail roster |
| Can a victim get notification? | Indiana SAVIN | SAVIN is a notification channel, not a copy source |
Indiana SAVIN is a useful custody-notification resource when a person needs automated notice, but it does not replace the Lawrence County jail portal, the jail division, or the court record. The same caution applies to the sex and violent offender registry. Registry information may be important after a conviction or release, but it is not proof of current jail custody.
The registry image source is the official IDOC sex and violent offender registry page.
The registry is separate from the jail roster, but the sheriff app also advertises county sex-offender information as a mobile feature.
