Lookup Johnson County Jail Inmates

Johnson County Jail Overview

Johnson County Jail is operated by the Johnson County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Duane Burgess at the Johnson County Law Enforcement Facility. It is the adult custody hub for arrests made by the sheriff, Greenwood Police Department, Franklin Police Department, Edinburgh Police Department, New Whiteland Police Department, Indiana State Police, and other agencies that use the county jail for booking. The facility is separate from the courthouse and separate from the two neighboring Court Services buildings on Hospital Road. That distinction matters because the adult jail, community corrections work release, and juvenile detention center each use different rules for custody, visits, records, and public lookup.

The jail houses adults in county custody. Public roster rows may show people booked for new arrests, pretrial felony or misdemeanor cases, sentenced county jail time, warrants, IDOC-related status, GPS or community corrections status, and other agency holds. The HomeWAV public list shows raw jail data such as name, identifier, housing location, date of birth value, booking type, agency, booking date, release date field, offense type field, bond type, and bond amount. It does not explain every code. Treat a roster code as a lead, not a final legal answer.

Johnson County Jail Capacity

The county government sheriff page lists the Johnson County Jail as designed to hold 292 inmates, with about 60 male and female correctional officers and staff. That figure is the sourced adult jail capacity. It should not be merged with the separate Community Corrections work release bed count or the juvenile detention bed count, because those facilities hold different legal populations under different agencies.

Official research did not locate an average daily population, annual booking count, or year-by-year population trend from Johnson County sources. The public HomeWAV table displayed many roster rows during research, but the page did not publish a formal jail count or refresh schedule. For that reason, the reliable number to use for Johnson County Jail capacity is the 292-inmate design figure, while current custody should be checked through the live roster or the jail phone line.

Johnson County Jail Roster Lookup

The official public lookup path starts at the Johnson County Sheriff's inmate list page, which embeds the HomeWAV resident list for Johnson County Jail. The list is more like a table than a polished search form. If the page opens as a long roster, use the browser find command for a last name, then compare first name, identifier, booking date, agency, bond fields, and location. A person who has just been booked may not appear at once, and a person who has been sentenced or moved may be better searched in IDOC, Indiana SAVIN, BOP, or ICE systems.

1. Open the sheriff inmate-list page or the embedded HomeWAV resident list.
2. Search by last name first, then check spelling variants if no match appears.
3. Compare identifier, booking date, agency, location, bond type, and bond amount before assuming the row is the right person.
4. Call the jail at 317-346-4716 if the roster is down, the person was just arrested, or a code affects release.
5. Use MyCase for filed court charges and the IDOC locator for sentenced state prison custody.

The HomeWAV text output did not show a mugshot gallery, detailed charges, or court dates. Booking photos and charge documents may require a public-records request or a court search. For custody and roster field help, the broader Johnson County jail inmate records page explains the roster and fallback channels.

Johnson County Jail Contact

The jail is on the Hospital Road justice campus in Franklin. Use the jail number for custody questions, bond eligibility, visit timing, or roster questions that cannot be answered online. Use the records process for incident reports, booking records, and public information not shown in the live list. The Johnson County Sheriff's Office, Sheriff Burgess biography, and county government sheriff page are the local agency sources for jail context. The sheriff records counter has weekday public hours, but the jail continues to receive, process, and release inmates during the day and night subject to movement limits.

Johnson County Jail Visits

Johnson County Jail visitation uses HomeWAV for video visits. Visitors must create a HomeWAV account, receive approval, and schedule on-site visits in advance. People under 18 must be accompanied by an adult with a valid HomeWAV account. The sheriff's jail page also warns that visits are monitored and that recording devices, cell phones, and cameras must be left outside the visitation area.

HomeWAV support is listed at 844-394-6639, with support hours seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central time. The jail's published Saturday schedule appears internally inconsistent because 1-5 p.m. falls within 8 a.m.-10 p.m.; confirm with the jail or HomeWAV before traveling.

Johnson County Jail Mail and Money

Standard mail for Johnson County Jail is scanned through HomeWAV. Inmates no longer receive physical copies of ordinary letters. The mail room screens the item, then the scanned content is delivered to the resident's HomeWAV account. Legal mail is still delivered and inspected in person, and approved-vendor photos, books, and newspapers are handled separately. Senders must include a full handwritten return name and address and should avoid stickers, glitter, and other outside-envelope items that violate jail rules.

Bond fields in the roster are not the same as a court order. A zero amount, an unfamiliar bond code, or a status such as IDOC or out to another agency can change the release path. Check MyCase for filed court orders when available, then call the jail before paying through JailATM.

Johnson County Jail Records

The sheriff's Records Division provides public information permitted under Indiana law and requires requests to identify the record with reasonable particularity. Incident reports may be requested by email, in person, or by mail. The research states incident reports are usually available 24 hours after the incident or accident. Incident reports are free up to four pages and then cost 10 cents per page; crash reports are handled separately and cost $8.00.

For a booking photo, complete booking record, or jail detail not shown in the HomeWAV table, use the sheriff's Records Division page and Request for Public Information form. Ask for a specific person and event, using full name, booking date, agency, jail identifier, or report number when known. Do not rely on commercial mugshot sites. No official Johnson County online mugshot gallery was located during research.
