About the Delaware County Jail

The Delaware County Jail is at 3100 S. Tillotson Avenue in Muncie. It handles arrests made by the Delaware County Sheriff's Office, the Muncie Police Department, and other agencies operating in the county. Every person arrested in Delaware County is processed through this facility. The booking process captures a photo, fingerprints, identifying information, and a record of the charges filed. That record goes into the public database at the time of booking.

Bond amounts visible in the inmate lookup reflect what a person must post to be released pending trial. They vary by charge and by any judicial conditions set at a first appearance. Scheduled release dates are not final and can change based on court orders, bond payments, or other legal developments. Case numbers linked to charges appear in the lookup and can be searched in the court system once formal proceedings begin.

Indiana Law and Delaware County Booking Records

Delaware County booking records are public under Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, IC 5-14-3. Any person can view or request these records from the Delaware County Sheriff's Office. No justification is required. The detailed inmate lookup the sheriff provides online is a direct fulfillment of this obligation. The law covers records held by all Indiana government agencies, including county sheriff's offices.

Under IC 36-2-13-5, the sheriff must document the arrest with photographs, fingerprints, and identifying data. This process creates the booking record at the time of arrest. The record stays in the system regardless of how the case ends. Whether charges are dropped, the person is acquitted, or a conviction is obtained, the original booking remains part of the public record.

The sheriff's duty to run the Delaware County Jail and maintain records is established under IC 11-8-2-5. Sheriff Skinner and his office are the custodians of all records created at this facility. All persons listed in Delaware County booking records are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
