Morgan County Jail Operations

Under IC 36-2-13-5, the county sheriff has legal responsibility for operating the county jail and keeping records of all detained persons.

Public Access and Indiana Law

Booking records at the Morgan County Jail are public records under Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, IC 5-14-3. The law says any person can inspect public agency records. The online inmate search is the simplest way to do that, but you can also make a written request to the Morgan County Sheriff's Office at 160 N. Park Avenue, Martinsville, IN 46151. The agency has seven days to respond under Indiana law.

The sheriff's authority to maintain these records comes from IC 11-8-2-5, which governs county jail operations statewide. If you run into a dispute about records access, the Indiana Public Access Counselor at in.gov/pac can help. They issue free advisory opinions and can explain whether a denial was proper under state law.

All persons listed in booking records are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. A booking entry reflects an arrest and the charges brought at that time, not a finding of guilt.
