Indiana Law and Clark County Booking Records

Clark County booking records are public under Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, IC 5-14-3. Any person can inspect these records or request copies. VINELink and the county contacts listed here cover current bookings, but for older records or written documentation, submit a request to the Clark County Sheriff's Office at 501 E Court Ave, Jeffersonville, IN 47130. Agencies must respond within seven days under Indiana law.

When a person is arrested in Clark County, the sheriff must collect photographs, fingerprints, and identifying data under IC 36-2-13-5. This creates the booking record. The 72 hour window runs from the time of booking. The state must either file charges or release the person during that period. The record stays public regardless of whether charges follow. The sheriff's duty to maintain the jail and its records is established in IC 11-8-2-5.

All persons listed in booking records are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
