How to Search the Jefferson County Jail Roster
Use the search box above to search the Jefferson County jail roster by name or charge. Start with the last name only — booking records don't always spell first names the way families do. If the person isn't listed, they may not be booked yet, may already be out on bond, or may be held by a neighboring county.
For the full booking record, use the official inmate search at jefferson-911-in.zuercherportal.com. People sentenced to state prison are not on this roster; the Indiana prison system has its own inmate locator.
