Delaware County Jail Roster Search
Sheriff Tony Skinner's Delaware County Sheriff's Office runs the local jail roster and inmate lookup. The roster is a sheriff custody tool, not a court docket. It can help confirm whether a person is currently held in the Delaware County Jail at the Delaware County Justice Center, identify a booking record, and locate basic charge or bond information visible in the public roster. Once formal charges are filed, MyCase is the court-record path for case numbers, hearings, filed charges, and dispositions maintained through Rick Spangler's Clerk of the Circuit Courts for Circuit Court cases.
The Delaware County jail roster source is the official sheriff page for local inmate lookup.
The roster page is the local custody starting point, while court case details should be checked through MyCase after filing.
The research did not find an official Delaware County Sheriff mobile app or Muncie Police app. Use the official sheriff web roster, sheriff phone numbers, Indiana jail locator, Indiana DOC search, and court records instead of assuming an app-only lookup exists.
Use the Delaware County Inmate Roster
The public roster displays a single search input and a searchable results table. Use full or partial name information, then review the visible row and any detail popup. The roster may show people arrested in Delaware County for lower-level offenses, serious felony allegations, pretrial custody, trial custody, or short-term sentenced custody. Some sentenced inmates may later move to the Indiana Department of Correction because county jail and state prison custody are separate systems.
- Open the official Delaware County Sheriff's jail roster page.
- Enter the person's name or part of the name in the search field.
- Review table rows for inmate number, first name, middle name, last name, booking date, scheduled release date, and total bond amount.
- Open the detail popup when available to review age, statute, description, case number, status, and related booking details.
- Call the jail at 765-747-7870 when release timing, bond, custody status, or visitation rules need current confirmation.
Delaware County Inmate Search Fields
The roster search is simpler than a court database. The search box is a free-text filter, and the results table supplies the fields. A person may appear by legal name, booking spelling, or jail record data. If a court date is needed, use the case number from the jail detail and search MyCase, because the jail roster text capture did not confirm a public court-date field.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search | Text | No | Free-text roster filter on the sheriff page. |
| INMATE# | Result column | Not applicable | Jail inmate number displayed in the table. |
| First, Middle, Last Name | Result columns | Not applicable | Name fields from the jail roster. |
| Booking Date | Result column | Not applicable | Booking date or booking date/time shown in roster data. |
| Scheduled Release Date | Result column | Not applicable | Release date if present; call the jail for current status. |
| Total Bond Amount | Result column | Not applicable | Shows total bond or N/A. |
What Delaware County Inmate Records Show
A Delaware County inmate profile is a custody snapshot. It may show current booking data and charge-related fields before a court case is complete. The prosecutor controls formal filing and dismissal of charges, so the jail roster should not be treated as the final court record. Once charges are filed, the court case can be searched in MyCase for hearings, docket events, filed counts, dispositions, and sentence entries.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| First, Middle, Last Name | The name fields shown in the roster or detail popup. |
| Age | Age displayed in detail data where available. |
| Inmate Number | Jail identifier needed for roster tracking and some deposit tasks. |
| Booking Date/Time | When the person was booked into jail custody. |
| Total Bond Amount | Total listed bond amount, if any. |
| Scheduled Release Date | Projected or scheduled release information if the roster shows it. |
| Statute and Description | Charge-related statute and description visible in detail fields. |
| Case Number and Status | Case or status data that can help locate the court record. |
Mugshot, housing pod, arresting agency, per-charge bond, and court date fields were not confirmed in the captured public roster text. Use MyCase for public court dates once a case has been filed.
Delaware County Jail Facility
The Delaware County Jail is part of the Justice Center campus. The sheriff's jail page says the current facility opened in 1992, was built with 120 beds, and was double-bunked in 1996 to 221 physical beds separated into different blocks. The page also reports an average daily population ranging from 260 to nearly 300, 58 full-time officers in the Jail Division, and self-contained services such as laundry, meal preparation, and most medical or dental services.
The About the Jail source provides the facility capacity, staffing, jail history, programs, and service details used for Delaware County inmate records.
Those facility details explain why the jail roster can include both short-term pretrial inmates and people held through trial or sentencing.

Delaware County Booking to Court
A person arrested in Delaware County is brought to the Delaware County Jail for incarceration. The jail roster may show booking and charge-status data before a full formal court file is complete. The prosecutor determines whether sufficient evidence exists to formally charge a person, and once formal charges are filed, the public can search MyCase for the court case. The initial hearing then addresses charges, rights, counsel, bail, preliminary plea, and the omnibus date.
Custody and court records should be reconciled. The jail roster can answer whether a person is in custody and what bond total appears in the roster. MyCase can answer whether formal charges have been filed, what court has the case, when hearings are scheduled, and how each charge is resolved. For charge-specific reading, the arrest-to-charge path is covered in Delaware County arrest records and court charges.
Delaware County Inmate Visitation Rules
The research did not capture an official full visitation schedule, video-visitation vendor page, visit length, pricing, dress code, background-check process, or attorney-visitation rule. That gap should be handled by phone rather than filled with generic jail rules. Call the jail at 765-747-7870 before traveling, mailing items, scheduling a visit, or sending funds. The confirmed official rules in the research are strongest for commissary, property, books, laundry, hygiene, and property release.
| Topic | Confirmed Official Detail | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| General visitation | Full official schedule not captured; call jail before visiting. | Confirm by phone at 765-747-7870. |
| Female undergarment drop-off | Three panty briefs and three no-wire bras permitted on the 4th of each month. | Sundays, 1 p.m.-7 p.m. only. |
| Property release | Property release is allowed during the confirmed window. | Sundays, 7 a.m.-10 a.m. only. |
| Commissary deliveries | Inmates can order anytime through the commissary system. | Deliveries Tuesdays and Fridays. |
| Laundry | Clothing laundered twice weekly; linens once weekly. | Internal jail schedule. |
Note: The official source did not publish a full visit schedule in the captured research, so call before visiting.
Delaware County Inmate Funds
Confirmed commissary rules are specific. Swanson Services Corporation is the commissary provider. The lobby kiosk accepts cash or credit card deposits, and the depositor needs the inmate identification number. Money is no longer accepted at the lobby window. Cash and money orders sent through the mail are not accepted. Money received during book-in is credited to the inmate account. Inmates can order commissary anytime, with deliveries on Tuesdays and Fridays.
| Topic | Rule |

Delaware County Inmate Contact
Property and book rules are also confirmed. Wedding bands and religious medallions under 2 inches may be worn. All inmate clothing is issued. Books must come directly from the publisher, and hardback books are not accepted. Hygiene packs are issued at book-in, with other hygiene items available through commissary. The sheriff contact source lists GTL inmate phone live help at 1-866-230-7761, but no official pricing schedule was captured.
Mail format, video visitation provider, video pricing, visit length, attorney visitation, and professional visitation rules were not captured in the official text. Use the jail phone for current instructions. Do not rely on old third-party jail pages for mail formatting or visit schedules unless the sheriff confirms the rule.
Delaware County Jail vs State Custody
The Delaware County inmate roster covers local jail custody. Sentenced state-prison inmates may appear through the Indiana Department of Correction offender search after transfer. Indiana also maintains a statewide county-jail offender locator linked from Indiana court public-record resources. The sheriff links the Indiana Sex and Violent Offender Registry, which is a separate public registry and not a jail custody roster.
The Indiana jail offender locator source is a statewide county-jail lookup channel separate from the Delaware County sheriff roster.
That statewide locator can supplement the county roster when custody may have moved or when a broader jail search is needed.
The Indiana DOC offender search source is the state-prison lookup path for sentenced offenders after county-jail custody ends.
Use the DOC search for state-prison custody, not for routine Delaware County Jail booking status.
