Find Johnson County Inmates

Johnson County Jail Roster

The Johnson County Sheriff's Office operates the jail at 1091 Hospital Road in Franklin. Research identifies Sheriff Duane Burgess as the current sheriff and lists top-bar phone channels for Administration at (317) 736-9155, Investigations at (317) 346-4615, Jail at (317) 346-4716, and fax at (317) 736-2200. County sources describe a jail designed to hold 292 inmates and staffed by correctional officers trained in first aid, cell extraction, and conflict resolution.

The local custody lookup source documented in the research is the HomeWAV resident list for Johnson County Jail. It is a public table rather than a full narrative inmate profile. It can show names, identifiers, housing or outside-agency status, booking data, agency codes, release data, offense type codes, and bond fields. It does not show a full charge narrative, court date, warrant number, or the complete criminal case file. Filed charges and hearings should be checked through Indiana MyCase when the case is public.

The table is a custody snapshot. Use it with court records when the question is why the person is held or what hearing comes next.

Use the Johnson County Roster

The HomeWAV roster is not a traditional search form with a last-name box. It is a resident list with visible columns. A user may use browser find, sort or scan visible rows if the table allows it, then compare the name, date of birth value, booking agency, and booking date. Because common names can match more than one person, the identifier, DOB value, and agency code matter.

1. Open the HomeWAV resident list for Johnson County Jail.
2. Search or scan for the person's last name and first name.
3. Review the identifier, location, DOB value, booking type, agency, and booking date.
4. Check bond type and bond amount if those columns are populated.
5. Use MyCase for filed charges, public court dates, dispositions, and case events.
6. Call the jail at (317) 346-4716 if the roster appears stale or the person may have been moved.

Johnson County Inmate Fields

The local roster fields are column-based. Codes should not be expanded unless an official source defines them, because the roster can use compact booking, agency, offense, and bond labels. A value such as "WAR" may point to a warrant booking type, but the court record is still needed to identify the case and any recall or bond order.

What Inmate Records Show

The HomeWAV Johnson County table gives useful custody facts, but it is not the same as a court file, police report, or criminal-history record. The roster does not show a mugshot in the text table documented by research. It also does not show a full narrative charge, a warrant number, or a public court calendar entry. Those details belong in MyCase, the issuing court, or a sheriff records request if the record is a law-enforcement report.

Johnson County Jail Facility

Research located one main Johnson County jail facility for this inmate records page. The jail and sheriff complex is separate from the courthouse square. The jail line is the custody-status contact, while court-date and pending-case questions should be directed to the court. The sheriff's FAQ says the sheriff cannot advise on pending court dates, hearings, or cases.

State Inmate Lookup Channels

The local jail roster is only one custody channel. The INjail Public Portal is a statewide county-jail public portal with last name, first name, birth date, and county fields. It is useful when the person may be in a participating county jail or when the local list is not enough. Indiana SAVIN adds custody notification functions for victims and other registered users.

The manifest screenshot for the INjail Public Portal shows the statewide county-jail lookup fields used alongside Johnson County inmate records.

INjail can broaden a county jail search, but Johnson County jail staff or the court should be used for local custody and case-specific questions.

The Indiana DOC Offender Locator is different. It is for sentenced state prisoners, not ordinary pretrial detainees in the Johnson County Jail. Search may be done by last name or by first and last name, and source notes indicate result fields such as name, DOC number, date of birth, race, sex, and facility or location.

The manifest image from the Indiana DOC Offender Locator documents the state-prison search path for people who are no longer in county jail custody.

Use DOC lookup for state prison location, and use MyCase or the clerk for the Johnson County case record that led to sentencing.

Booking, Bond, and Court Records

Booking starts the custody record, not the final court record. The roster can show booking type, agency, bond type, bond amount, and release data. MyCase can show filed charges, hearings, court orders, dispositions, and sentencing entries for public cases. A person may be booked before every charge has appeared online, and a booking entry can exist even when the prosecutor later amends, drops, or files different charges.

Johnson County local rules include a bail schedule unless bail is endorsed in a warrant or ordered by the Johnson County Circuit, Superior, or City Courts. The schedule does not apply to juvenile delinquent or juvenile status offenses. Bond review by a judicial officer may occur on written request by either party. Cash bail is treated as the defendant's personal asset and may be held by the clerk in trust for fines, costs, indigent services, restitution, judgments, and other fees.

Johnson County Jail Visitation

Johnson County Jail visitation uses the HomeWAV Video Visitation platform, including HomeWAV web and mobile app access for video, voice, and account services. Every visitor must create a HomeWAV account. Visitors under 18 must be with an adult who has a valid account. During a visit, the visitor and inmate must each be logged in under their own credentials, and sharing visits is prohibited. HomeWAV customer support is listed as 844-394-6639, seven days a week, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. CST, with support email at support@homewav.com.

Jail movement activities are restricted from 5:00-7:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m., and 4:00-7:00 p.m. Attorney visits, bonding, and other movement-based activities are not conducted during those windows unless court ordered with a specific interview time. Intake and release continue, and extreme circumstances may be exceptions.

Mail and Phone Contact

Inmates use HomeWAV Voice through the video visitation system for regular phone calls. Phones are available in housing areas daily from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. HomeWAV Voice cannot call pagers or internet phones. Funds can be added through HomeWAV using the deposit option or at the HomeWAV kiosk in the lobby. Jail staff can deliver only verifiable emergency telephone messages, and a supervisor verifies the emergency through a hospital, coroner, funeral home, or similar source.

Standard mail is scanned through HomeWAV. Inmates no longer receive physical copies of standard mail sent to the facility. Mail is screened and delivered electronically to personal HomeWAV accounts, and scanned mail remains available during custody. Legal mail is still inspected in person. The jail warns that mail can be read by staff and used in court.

Commissary and Inmate Funds

Johnson County Jail uses JailATM for friends and family web deposits, commissary deposits, and web bonding. The researched payment notes list MasterCard, VISA, or bank debit card. JailATM customer service for payment issues is 1-866-933-6386. These payment services are separate from court costs, fines, restitution, or clerk-held cash bond.
