Perry County Jail Roster
The Perry County Sheriff's Office and Detention Center is the local custody source for current inmates. The office is at 2211 Herrman Street, Tell City, IN 47586, phone 812-547-2441. The sheriff's site links to the current inmate list, bond, visitation, inmate communication, commissary, property, accident reports, tax warrants, and contact pages. The sheriff homepage names Sheriff Dave Faulkenberg, while a county government sheriff page had conflicting older text, so the operational sheriff site is the better custody source for inmate records.
The roster is a current-custody list. It is not a full public arrest archive, not a court conviction record, and not the official court file. A person can be booked on a charge, hold, capias, probation violation, or warrant line before the related court case is fully visible. To track court charges after booking, use MyCase and the clerk, or review Perry County arrest records and charges for the arrest-to-charge path.
When custody data turns into a court-record question, the Perry County Courthouse / Perry County Government Center at 2219 Payne Street is the court destination. Circuit Court Clerk Joan Hess maintains the official case file for Perry Circuit Court after charges are filed.
The Perry County Sheriff's Office homepage is the main route into detention services and roster links.
The sheriff homepage is the right starting point when the search is about current Perry County custody, bond, visits, or inmate services.
Use the Perry County Inmate Roster
The public roster is an alphabetical, paginated current-inmate list rather than a form-based search. It loads current entries, offers All and A-Z filters, and shows roster blocks that can be scanned by name. If a person does not appear, they may have been released, transferred, held by another agency, housed under a different spelling, or never booked into Perry County custody.
- Open the Perry County current inmate list.
- Use All or the first-letter filters to narrow the roster.
- Scan names carefully, including middle names, initials, and possible spelling differences.
- Open or read the roster block for age, intake date, arresting agency, charges, release field, and bond.
- Call 812-547-2441 if the person is missing, the booking number is needed, or bond must be confirmed.
The sheriff site and app references also point to current inmates, tips, alerts, applications, press releases, weather, road or traffic updates, and notifications. The documented website roster remains the clearest official public inmate lookup channel.
For formal records beyond the live roster, use the sheriff contact channel or call the detention center. The public contact form asks for full name, email, and message, but custody questions that involve bond, release, booking number, or urgent verification should be handled by phone.
The Perry County current inmate list is the specific roster source identified in the research.
The roster image reflects the current-custody nature of the search, so older booking records still require sheriff or court follow-up.
Perry County Inmate Search Fields
The roster fields are displayed as controls and result labels, not as a normal search form. The most important limits are that the list is current, alphabetical, and paginated. It does not promise a statewide prison search or a historical county arrest database.
| Field or Control | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current Inmates page | Roster | No | Loads public current-custody entries. |
| Alphabet filters | Link tabs | Optional | All and A-Z filters were observed. |
| Pagination | Link controls | Optional | Controls such as Page 1 of 3 were observed. |
| Name heading | Result field | N/A | Full name, generally last name first. |
| Age, class, race/sex | Result fields | N/A | Class may be blank or show an agency/class label. |
| Charge Bond | Result table | N/A | Charge name and bond amount per line. |
Perry County Inmate Record Details
Visible roster entries provide a compact booking profile. The fields should be read as jail data, not a final court outcome. The roster may show warrant-related charges, holds for another agency, parole or probation violations, assault charges, trespass charges, protection-order violations, and other booking labels.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Inmate name | Name shown in the roster block heading. |
| Age | Numeric age at the time shown in the roster. |
| Class | Blank or agency/class label such as another corrections department. |
| Race/Sex | Combined code such as W/F, B/M, or W/M. |
| Intake Date | Date and time of intake into custody. |
| City | City field tied to the roster entry. |
| Arrested By Department | Agency, often Perry County Sheriff's Office. |
| Release Date | Often blank for current inmates. |
| Charge/Bond | Charge labels and bond amounts when listed. |
Note: Mugshots, housing pod, warrant number, magistrate, and next court date were not visible in the captured text inventory.
Perry County Jail Contact
The detention center contact is essential when online data is unclear. Call before visiting for custody, bond, booking number, visit schedule, property, or lobby service questions. Jail custody operates around the clock, but the county government page lists office hours Monday-Sunday, 7:30 a.m.-8 p.m.; lobby services should be verified directly.

Phone: 812-547-2441
Fax: 812-547-0410
Sex Offender Hotline: 812-719-4350
The sheriff contact page also provides a public message and tip form.
The contact page is useful when a roster question turns into a need for booking, bond, tip, or sex-offender registry information.
Perry County Booking and Bond
Bond information may appear in the roster's Charge Bond table, but the sheriff bond page is the controlling practical source. It says the court determines the bond schedule and jail staff cannot alter a bond amount unless dictated by the judge. Cash or credit card may be used when bond is allowed. The detention center does not handle property bonds and directs property-bond questions to an attorney.
| Bond Channel | Requirements | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| In person at jail or clerk | Exact cash or major credit, debit, or prepaid debit card | No property bonds at detention center. |
| Online GovPayNow | Arrestee name, booking number, PLC 6903 or 6904, bond amount | 9% service fee. |
| Phone GovPay | 1-877-392-2455, PLC, booking number | Call sheriff if booking number is unknown. |
A 10% cash deposit is required to make bail in ordinary cases, and some offenses are no bond. Indiana bond-deposit rules may allow the court to retain amounts after conviction for fines, costs, fees, restitution, public-defender costs, administrative fee, and the police death benefit fund.

Pin Debit lets an inmate call any number with phone time, while Prepaid is tied to the phone number purchased. Phone time cannot be moved to commissary or refunded when an inmate leaves.

State and Federal Inmate Searches
If the person is not in the Perry County roster, the next source depends on custody level. A sentenced or transferred Indiana prisoner may appear in the Indiana Department of Correction locator. A person in federal custody may appear in the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator. A person recently released or moved may also require Indiana VINE or direct sheriff contact.
The Indiana DOC offender locator is the statewide prison search source for people in state custody.
IDOC is for state-prison custody, so it should be checked after the local roster when a Perry County inmate may have been sentenced or transferred.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator is the separate search source for federal custody.
Federal inmate search is separate from Perry County jail data and from Indiana state-prison custody records.
