Pike County Jail Roster Overview
The official Pike County inmate records route is the Pike County Sheriff's Office inmate search. It is an OCV or MyOCV feed used by the sheriff site and mobile app. The public feed inspected during research was free and did not require a login. It covered public booking entries for Pike County Jail, not every historical arrest or every later court disposition.
The feed inspected on June 12, 2026 contained 34 public entries with booking dates from August 12, 2025 through June 11, 2026. That range should not be read as an archive policy. If a name is missing, the person may not have posted yet, may have been released, may be in another agency's custody, may have a restricted record, or may be listed under a different spelling.
For a visual check, the official OCV roster feed shows the raw public entries behind the sheriff route.
The raw feed is useful for seeing why the Pike County roster works more like a current booking list than a database with a public last-name search box.
Search Pike County Inmates
The sheriff route should be the first stop for a current Pike County Jail inmate. It covers local pretrial custody, local sentence custody, warrants, probation violation bookings, and people awaiting transfer after court action. The jail direct phone line is the next channel when the online route does not answer a custody question.
- Open the sheriff inmate search page or the official Pike County Sheriff's Office app.
- Review the published entries by name as shown. The public web feature may not expose a search field.
- Copy the booking date and arrest number from the Pike County inmate record if the person appears.
- Check the charge lines, but confirm filed charges in Pike County Court or Indiana MyCase.
- Call Pike County Jail at (812) 354-1149 if the person should be in local custody but is not listed.
- Use the sheriff's public-records process for older or more detailed booking records not shown online.
Pike County Roster Search Fields
Pike County's OCV feature did not present the usual public form fields in the static source. The sheriff manifest indicated showSearch:false and showSort:false. That means the public record is viewed as a feed entry rather than searched through a normal last-name box.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inmate Search | Feed list / rendered app route | No user field exposed | OCV manifest disables public search and sort controls. |
| Entry title | Text result | n/a | Name is shown as published, usually LAST, FIRST MIDDLE. |
| Booking Date | Record field | n/a | Public date in MM/DD/YY format. |
| Arrest Number | Record field | n/a | Local identifier helpful for calls and records requests. |
| Age / Race / Gender | Record fields | n/a | Basic demographics; date of birth was not visible. |
| Charge(s) | Record field | n/a | Indiana code, offense class, and text description. |
| Images | Booking-photo array | n/a | Small and large booking-photo URLs were present. |
Pike County Inmate Profile Fields
Pike County inmate records are public booking summaries. They do not replace the court docket, and they do not publish every jail-management field. Bond amounts, housing units, court dates, arresting officer names, release dates, addresses, and full birth dates were not visible in the inspected public feed.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Title / Name | Inmate name as the feed publishes it. |
| Booking Date | Date booked into Pike County Jail. |
| Arrest Number | Numeric local booking or arrest identifier. |
| Age | Age shown by the public feed. |
| Race and Gender | Values as published, including Unknown or Not Specified when used. |
| Charges | Code, class abbreviation, and offense text. Some lines include status words. |
| Booking Photo | Small and large JPEG booking-photo URLs. |
| Bond | Not visible in inspected Pike feed entries. |
| Housing / Release Date | Not visible in inspected Pike feed entries. |
Note: If a charge line says Guilty or Dismissed, confirm that status in court records before relying on it.
Pike County Custody Channels
Every Pike County inmate records search should use the channel that matches the person's custody stage. The roster is strongest for current local jail custody. Certified court results, older records, state prison custody, and federal or immigration custody use different systems.
The Pike County Sheriff's Office also publishes a mobile app through OCV. The app and web platform list Inmate Search, Inmate Communication, Bond Information, Inmate Commissary / Phone Calls, Inmate Visitation, Inmate Mail, Inmate Medical, Inmate Paperwork, Inmate Property, Public Records Request, and Body Worn Camera Video Request. No app-only warrant search or mugshot-only gallery was verified, so the app should be treated as another route to the same sheriff jail tools.
| Need | Use This Channel | What to Know |
|---|---|---|
| Current Pike jail custody | Sheriff inmate search or jail phone | Best for local jail booking entries. |
| Records not online | Sheriff public-records request | Mail or deliver requests to the sheriff's office. |
| Filed charges or disposition | Pike County Court or Indiana MyCase | Jail charges may differ from filed counts. |
| Sentenced state prisoner | IDOC incarcerated locator | Search by last name or DOC number. |
| Victim notification | Indiana SAVIN or VINELink | Notification channel, not a full court docket. |
| Federal prisoner | BOP inmate locator | Federal custody from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | No ICE facility was found in Pike County, Indiana. |

Pike County Booking Process
Pike County does not publish a full internal booking manual, but the public records show the output of the intake process. After arrest, the jail creates an arrest number, records the booking date, enters age, race, gender, charge lines, and publishes a booking photo when the entry is included in the public OCV feed. Medical, mental-health, and addiction needs route through Quality Correctional Care and electronic Sick Call forms inside the jail.
Property and paperwork have local rules. Inmates may release only property they were arrested with, such as a phone, wallet, jewelry, keys, and debit cards, and the person picking it up must have valid state ID or a driver's license. Clothing and cash are not released. Documents needing an inmate signature must be mailed to the inmate and returned by mail; the sheriff's office does not carry documents or verbal messages back and forth.
Local criminal-history checks from the sheriff are limited. Pike's criminal-history request page says the sheriff check includes verified Pike County arrest and booking information, not final criminal history. It also warns that the data does not reflect charging decisions made by the court system or the outcomes of criminal trials. For statewide criminal-history work, the sheriff page routes users to Indiana State Police, while court charges and dispositions should be checked through Pike County Court or Indiana MyCase.
Pike County Jail Visitation
Pike County visitation is video-based through Combined Public Communications and InmateSales. All visitors must create an account before scheduling. On-site lobby visits are no cost, while off-site remote video visits have a fee that was not published in the Pike page reviewed. Each inmate can receive two no-cost visits per week.
| Channel | Vendor / Location | Cost | Rules Located |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-site video visit | Lobby kiosk / CPC via InmateSales | No cost | Account required; two free visits per inmate per week. |
| Off-site video visit | InmateSales / CPC remote video | Fee applies | Account required before scheduling. |
| Unauthorized visitor | n/a | n/a | Visit can be terminated. |
| Daily assigned hours | Assigned to inmate | n/a | Inmate must tell visitors the assigned time and be at the kiosk. |
The Pike inmate visitation page identifies CPC and InmateSales as the video visitation path.
The sheriff page also says jail staff will not remind inmates of scheduled visits, so visitors should confirm the assigned time before relying on a scheduled video visit.
Pike County Inmate Communication
Mail, phone, commissary, and bond use separate rules. Ordinary mail is scanned into the jail correspondence system, then the original is placed in inmate property and returned at release. Privileged correspondence from attorneys, courts, or government officials is inspected in the inmate's presence. Books or packages must come from Amazon and need prior approval from jail administrative staff.
| Service | Provider / Detail | Pike Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Commissary / phone funds | Lobby kiosk or InmateSales | Kiosk accepts cash or card and does not make change. |
| Mail deposits | Money order or cashier's check | Payable to the inmate; personal checks not accepted. |
| Online bond | JailATM | Listed by the sheriff for online bond posting. |
| In-person bond | Sheriff's Office / Jail | Available 24 hours by cash or credit/debit card when eligible. |
| Card bond fee | Debit or credit card | 10% convenience fee applies. |
Note: Confirm custody and bond eligibility with the jail before sending funds, scheduling video visits, or posting release money.
Pike County Records Requests
If a Pike County inmate record is missing from the online feed, older than the public roster, or tied to an incident report, use the sheriff's Request for Public Records process. The form asks for the requester's name, address, phone, email, incident date, incident type, location, parties involved, and the requested record type. Options include incident or case report, citation with UTT number, and other records.
Requests may be mailed to the sheriff's office or delivered in person at 100 S. 4th Street between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. A fee may apply. Body-worn-camera or other law-enforcement recordings use a separate APRA packet, and the Pike packet states that processing or redaction can cost $150 per recording.
