Use Indiana MyCase after finding the jail booking

MyCase is the official Indiana public court-search system. It provides public, nonconfidential case information, but sealed matters, confidential information and some documents may not appear online.

Search with the case number

  1. Copy the full case number from the inmate result.
  2. Open Indiana MyCase.
  3. Choose the case-number search.
  4. Enter the number without unrelated name fields.
  5. Confirm Hendricks County and the correct criminal case.
  6. Review hearings, chronological entries and available public documents.
Open Indiana MyCase

Search when no case number appears

  1. Enter the legal first and last name.
  2. Confirm the county before opening a result.
  3. Compare the filing date and case type.
  4. Compare the displayed charge with the jail record.
  5. Do not combine details from same-name cases.
  6. Contact the court when a public document is unavailable.
Open official Hendricks County court information
Portal tip: A jail screenshot may show an old hearing date. Reopen MyCase before travelling because court settings can change independently of the jail portal.
Cash and commercial bonds

Confirm the complete Hendricks County bond before paying

Start with the jail bond line: Call (317) 745-9332 and ask about every active case, hold and payment destination before bringing money or hiring a bondsman.

Cash bond

A cash bond generally requires 100% of the stated amount and an indemnifier.

  1. Confirm the case number and current bond.
  2. Ask which Clerk or court receives payment.
  3. Ask which payment form is accepted at that time.
  4. Complete the jail bond paperwork as directed.
  5. Pay through the instructed Clerk or after-hours route.
  6. Return the receipt to the jail when instructed.

Commercial bond

A commercial bond uses a private bondsman and an indemnifier or co-signer. The official jail page describes a nonrefundable percentage charged by the bondsman.

  1. Choose a licensed bondsman independently.
  2. Jail employees cannot choose or contact one for you.
  3. Ask the bondsman about fees and collateral.
  4. Confirm whether an open-court appearance is required.
  5. Ask whether out-of-state status changes collateral.
  6. Keep the bond contract and payment receipt.

After-hours bond

The official Jail Division explains that after-hours, weekend and holiday payments may use a money order payable to the appropriate County or Town Clerk.

  1. Call before purchasing the money order.
  2. Confirm the exact payee spelling.
  3. Confirm the exact amount and case.
  4. Ask whether the payee is the County, Plainfield or Brownsburg Clerk.
  5. Bring valid identification.
  6. Save every receipt until release is complete.
Copy-ready bond verification call
I am calling about [full legal name], prisoner ID [number] and case number [number]. Can you confirm the current bond type, complete amount, correct payee, accepted payment method, payment location and whether another case or outside hold would prevent release?
Insider bond tip: Repeat the defendant name, case number, payee and amount back to the employee before purchasing a money order. A money order made payable to the wrong Clerk may create a serious delay.

Trust fund and commissary deposits

Send inmate money without funding the wrong service

Two different balances: HomeWAV funds pay for communications and visits. ConnectNetwork Trust Fund money is for the inmate trust or commissary account. The balances are not interchangeable.

ConnectNetwork Trust Fund

  1. Recheck the official inmate portal.
  2. Save the exact name and prisoner ID.
  3. Open the Hendricks County Jail facility page.
  4. Confirm Site ID 172 and Trust Fund service.
  5. Create or sign in to the provider account.
  6. Select the correct inmate.
  7. Review the service fee and total.
  8. Save the transaction confirmation.

Current provider trust telephone: 888-428-1845.

Open the Hendricks County Jail Trust Fund page

Jail-lobby kiosk

  1. Confirm that the inmate is still housed locally.
  2. Bring the exact booked name and prisoner ID.
  3. Review the kiosk fee before submitting money.
  4. Check every digit before confirming the inmate.
  5. Print or photograph the receipt.
  6. Keep it until the inmate confirms the credit.

The inmate handbook describes the lobby as accessible for deposits around the clock, but building access can change. Call before a late-night trip.

Best payment habit: Stop before the final payment screen and compare the facility name, inmate name, prisoner ID, account type, fee and total one more time.
Updated inmate-mail policy

Address Hendricks County inmate mail correctly

Use this mailing format

Inmate’s full name
Prisoner ID number
Post Office Box 87
Danville, IN 46122-0087

Write your complete sender name and address on the envelope and on the correspondence itself.

Do not include these items

  • Stickers or adhesive material.
  • Unknown substances, powder or discoloration.
  • Crayon, glitter or decorative material.
  • Currency.
  • Food products.
  • Mechanised or battery-operated items.
  • Newspaper or magazine clippings.
  • Loose book pages.
  • Anything considered a safety risk.
Return-address rule: Do not rely on a return-address label. The official Jail Division requires a complete return name and address, and the updated policy requires that information on the correspondence itself as well as the outside envelope.
Book and article rule: Family or friends may order approved softcover books or periodicals directly from the publisher or bookstore. The policy also describes a limited allowance for photocopied articles. Review the current PDF before sending printed material.
No inmate-to-inmate mail: The policy says mail will not be delivered between inmates in this facility or another penal institution, including correspondence forwarded through a third party.

Medical requests and property questions

Report an urgent concern through the correct jail route

Immediate medical concern

Call the jail and provide the inmate’s complete name, prisoner ID if known, the symptoms or risk being reported and when you received the information.

Do not expect protected medical details without the required authorisation.

Inmate medical request

The inmate handbook says inmates can submit medical and mental-health requests through HomeWAV forms.

Family should report urgent outside information to the jail rather than attempting to use the inmate’s account.

Vehicle or personal property

Vehicle tow information depends on the arresting agency. The Sheriff administrative office handles Sheriff tow questions during business hours, and the jail can provide after-hours direction.

Call before travelling for property.

Verifiable emergency message: Jail staff deliver only verified emergency messages. The Jail Division says a supervisor may verify information through a hospital, coroner, funeral home or a similar source.

Limited local criminal history

Know what the Hendricks County background check does not cover

This is not a complete Indiana or federal history. The official form says the limited adult criminal history covers Hendricks County results from the previous ten years. Older records must be requested through the Indiana State Police Central Records Division.

Local request preparation

  • Use the official limited-history form.
  • Identify the permitted purpose for the request.
  • Provide the required identity details.
  • Sign the request where required.
  • Arrange notarisation if the form requires it.
  • Include the correct payment method.
  • Keep a copy of the completed form.

Published fee and limitations

The Sheriff’s fee page lists a criminal-history check at $5 per name.

For an individual request sent by postal mail, the fee page says to use a money order instead of cash.

Do not advertise the result as a statewide, national or lifetime criminal-history report.

Real-world mistake prevention

Avoid delays, wrong payments and false identification

Calling the wrong number

Use 317-745-9332 for 24-hour jail and bond information, not only the administrative office.

Searching every field

Begin with the surname and narrow the search only when necessary.

Ignoring outside holds

A second case or agency detainer may prevent release after payment.

Funding the wrong account

HomeWAV communication money is different from ConnectNetwork trust money.

Using no prisoner ID

The name alone creates a greater risk of wrong mail, visit or deposit.

Sending decorated mail

Stickers, glitter, powder, crayon and adhesives can cause confiscation or return.

Buying the money order first

Confirm the correct Clerk payee and exact total before purchase.

Treating a charge as guilt

Use MyCase for amendments, dismissal, plea, acquittal or disposition.

Payment scam warning: Do not send gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers or payment-app transfers to a caller claiming that immediate payment will guarantee release or clear a warrant. Verify the case and payment route through the jail or court.

Hendricks County inmate-search FAQs

How do I search for an inmate in Hendricks County?

Open the official Indiana County Jail Public Portal, select or confirm Hendricks County and search the person’s last name first. Add the first name only when needed. Open the possible match and verify the full name, prisoner or booking identifier, booking date, charges, bond and custody status.

Why is a recent Hendricks County arrest not showing online?

The person may still be processing, may have been released quickly, may be listed under a different name format or may be held by another county or agency. Try a surname-only search, remove punctuation, confirm the arresting agency and call the jail at 317-745-9332 when same-day confirmation is important.

What number should I call for Hendricks County Jail?

The Sheriff’s administrative office number is 317-745-6269. The official Jail Division lists 317-745-9332 for jail and bond information 24 hours a day. Use the jail number for current custody, prisoner identification, bond and immediate jail-service questions.

How do I find a Hendricks County inmate’s court date?

Search Indiana MyCase using the case number from the inmate record whenever possible. If no case number appears, search the legal name and compare Hendricks County, the filing date and charge. The jail roster should not be treated as the final court schedule.

How do cash and commercial bonds work at Hendricks County Jail?

A cash bond generally requires the full bond amount and an indemnifier. A commercial bond uses a private bondsman and normally includes a nonrefundable percentage charged by that bondsman. Call 317-745-9332 first to confirm the current bond, correct Clerk or court, accepted payment and every outside hold.

How do I schedule a HomeWAV visit with a Hendricks County inmate?

How do I send money to a Hendricks County inmate?

Use the jail-lobby kiosk or the official ConnectNetwork Hendricks County Jail Trust Fund service. Confirm that the person is still housed at the jail, match the exact inmate identity and choose Trust Fund rather than a HomeWAV visitation or communication balance.

How should I address mail to Hendricks County Jail?

Address personal mail with the inmate’s full name and prisoner ID number, followed by Post Office Box 87, Danville, Indiana 46122-0087. Put the sender’s complete name and address on both the envelope and the correspondence itself. Do not use a return-address label.

Use Indiana VINE for available custody notifications, Indiana MyCase for the continuing court case, the Indiana Department of Correction locator for a state transfer and the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator only when federal custody is possible.
