Boone County Jail Overview

The Boone County Sheriff's Office corrections page identifies Boone County Jail as the county's main corrections facility. The jail is operated by the Boone County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Tony Harris, with the Jail Division led publicly by Commander Timothy Turner. It holds Boone County arrestees, pretrial detainees, local sentenced inmates, and some people serving Level 6 felony time locally. The research did not locate official housing pod names, so custody should be described by legal status rather than by unit labels.

The same sheriff source says the current jail was built in 1992 with bedspace for 110 inmates and opened with an initial population of 40. In summer 2007, Boone County expanded bedspace to 221 by adding permanently affixed steel bunks. Later public reporting on the justice center project described a planned bed increase from 214 to 316, along with more service space for mental health, addiction, work release, infirmary needs, and coroner functions. Those project figures are reported expansion context, not a current live population count.

The sheriff's corrections overview shows the local jail history, rights material, and service links used by Boone County inmates.

That source is the main local reference for the Boone County Jail capacity history, medical process, inmate rights, mail rules, money links, and JailTracker lookup route.

Boone County Jail Population

Boone County does not publish a live daily jail-population dashboard in the research materials. The best official jail figures found are historical. The sheriff's corrections page reports a 2020 average daily population of 137 inmates, with an average of 111 males and 26 females. The BCSO strategic plan cited a 2017-era corrections average daily population of 197 inmates, which shows the facility had seen higher average use before the 2020 figures.

Use these numbers with their dates. A person searching today should not treat the 2020 average daily population as the current Boone County Jail population. The current custody question is answered through Boone County JailTracker or by calling Boone County Corrections, not by relying on an older annual average.

Lookup Boone County Jail Inmates

Boone County Jail uses the Public Safety Cloud / JailTracker roster for public inmate lookup. The sheriff's inmate lookup page links users to JailTracker, and the roster supports current and released searches through fields such as name, gender, offender ID, permanent ID, intake date range, release date range, type, and agency. The public roster is a Boone County jail custody tool. It is not the Indiana Department of Correction locator for sentenced state prisoners.

1. Open the Boone County Sheriff's inmate lookup page or go directly to the Boone County JailTracker roster.
2. Start with the last name. Add first name, middle name, gender, or an intake date range if the name is common.
3. Use Type = Active for a person believed to be in Boone County Jail now. Use Released only for a past Boone County Jail booking.
4. Open the record detail to review the public booking photo if present, intake date, release date when shown, offender IDs, charge entries, case numbers, and physical-description fields.
5. Use the Boone County Sheriff's Office NextRequest portal when an official copy or a record not shown online is needed.

The Boone County JailTracker search page is the roster source for public Boone County Jail custody checks.

The roster setting inspected in 2026 showed images enabled and a released-record search option, but the sheriff can change vendor settings and suppress records when law or policy requires it.

Boone County Jail Contact

For time-sensitive custody, bond, transport, medication, or visit questions, call the jail before traveling. The sheriff contact materials list the Boone County Sheriff's Office as reachable 24 hours a day, and the phone menu routes option 1 to Corrections. Commander Timothy Turner is the Jail Division Commander and is listed with an office number, mobile number, fax, and email in the sheriff command staff information.

Boone County Jail Visits

Boone County Jail visitation research points to ICSolutions video visitation. The sheriff visitation page says family, friends, and professionals can schedule visits from a home or office computer after registering. It also stated during the research that each inmate receives three free home visits due to construction and that added home or off-site visits cost $12.50 for 25 minutes. The research did not locate a published in-person visit schedule, so no weekday pod schedule should be assumed.

Visitors must follow identification and conduct rules. The sheriff page says children under 18 must be with a parent or legal guardian, all visits are subject to monitoring and recording, and visitors may be denied for refusing identification, being under the influence, disrupting the visit, or bringing banned items. It also prohibits cell phone or electronic-device use during visits, photographing inmates, showing inmates websites or phone photos, and posting pictures of inmates on social media.

The Boone County Jail visitation page gives the ICSolutions registration and scheduling workflow for video visits.

Because visitation conditions can change with construction and security needs, confirm current access before paying for a visit or driving to the facility.

Boone County Jail Mail and Money

Mail for a Boone County Jail inmate must use the inmate's full name, including middle initial when known, with C/O Boone County Jail and the jail address. The sender must include a full return name and address. The sheriff rules allow regular letters written in black or blue pen only. Greeting cards are not accepted, and legal mail from an attorney is opened in the inmate's presence. Books must be paperback and sent by an online bookstore or publisher, not dropped off or mailed by a private person.

The sheriff's money-for-inmates page is the source for the courthouse kiosk location, payment types, hours, and $4 kiosk transaction fee.

The Keefe commissary rules matter because a signed packing slip ends the transaction for missing or damaged item claims under the sheriff's posted process.

Boone County Jail Intake Rights

Booking at Boone County Jail begins after arrest or transport. Staff record identity, property, intake date, charges or warrant entries, agency offender ID, permanent ID, and other booking details used by JailTracker. The roster can show local charge and case-number clues, but it is not the final court record. Formal charges, hearings, bond orders, dispositions, and expungement or sealing events are searched through Indiana MyCase and the Boone County court process.

Medical screening starts at intake. The Boone County corrections FAQ says inmates answer medical questions upon arrival and are screened by medical staff soon afterward. Inmates use medical request forms for health issues, and sick calls are provided regularly with a $10 medical co-pay. Care is not denied for inability to pay. Prescription medication requires an appointment with Jail Medical Staff at 765-483-3376, must be in the original prescription bottle, and is given only with jail medical approval.

Boone County posts inmate-rights material from 210 IAC 3-1-15. Those rights include access to courts and attorneys, reasonable exercise and recreation, absentee-voting arrangements for qualified inmates, written grievance rights with prompt investigation and written disposition, and reasonable visitation subject to jail security. Grievance and rights issues should be routed through the facility process, while official records requests belong in the sheriff's NextRequest portal.

The official sheriff pages do not publish a visitor parking map, public transit route, ADA entrance instructions, or separate visitor-door instructions. Confirm visitor parking and entrance instructions with the jail before you arrive. Bring sufficient identification. Do not bring firearms, explosives, alcoholic beverages, narcotics, controlled substances, including marijuana, or electronic items used to photograph or display images during visitation. For broader roster help, the Boone County jail inmate records page explains how JailTracker fits with phone, records-request, IDOC, BOP, ICE, and VINE fallback channels.
