Jail Roster vs. Inmate Lookup
These two searches are closely related, but residents may use them differently.
Jail Roster: Best when you want to browse or search the current jail population.
Inmate Lookup: Best when you’re trying to determine whether a specific person is currently incarcerated.
Both use official Allen County Sheriff’s information.
Recently Arrested?
Someone who was arrested very recently may not appear immediately.
The person must first go through the booking process, and online information may not update instantly.
If you can’t find someone you believe was recently taken to the Allen County Jail, check again later or call:

Find an Inmate’s Charges
The jail roster may provide information about the charges associated with an inmate’s incarceration.
Keep in mind that being arrested or charged with an offense doesn’t mean the person has been convicted.
For more detailed criminal case information, use Indiana MyCase.
Search Allen County Court Cases
Find an Inmate’s Court Date
Indiana MyCase is generally the better resource when you’re looking for:
- Upcoming court dates
- Case number
- Criminal charges
- Court
- Judge
- Case status
- Case filings
- Case history
Search the person’s name and narrow the results to Allen County.
Why Is Someone No Longer on the Roster?
The Allen County jail population changes throughout the day.
Someone may disappear from the current roster because they:
- Posted bond

- Were transferred
- Completed a sentence
- Were sent to another county
- Were transferred to an Indiana state correctional facility
- Had their custody status otherwise changed
For current information, contact the jail.
Indiana State Prison Inmates
The Allen County jail roster isn’t a statewide prison search.
If someone has been transferred to an Indiana Department of Correction facility, use the state’s offender information instead.
