The Kosciusko County, Indiana Jail Roster is a public resource that allows you to find out who is currently in custody at the county jail. KosciuskoCourt.us helps locate publicly available information about current and recently released inmates. Additionally, information can be obtained through the official Kosciusko County Sheriff's website, by calling the jail, or visiting in person. The roster search allows you to check the custody status of a specific individual, view charges, and booking details. The roster is maintained by the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Office; it is regularly updated and hosted on the Indiana Sheriff's website.
Search Current Inmates in Kosciusko Jail
There are several ways to find out if a person is in custody at the county jail.
Online Search
- Go to the Inmate Information page on the Kosciusko County Sheriff's website. There you will find a link to the current inmate list.
- The list is usually displayed as a table that can be browsed by scrolling or using the browser's search function (Ctrl+F / Cmd+F) by entering the last name.
- To search, you will need the person's full legal name. The booking number, if known, will expedite identification.
Additionally, you can use the INjail Public Access portal — a statewide Indiana system that allows searching for inmates by last name, first name, or date of birth. To search for court cases related to a specific arrest, use the MyCase system.
Through KosciuskoCourt.us you can also find publicly available information about county court records.

Find Kosciusko Jail Booking Records Online
A booking record is created when a detained person undergoes the booking process at the jail. This process records key arrest data.
A typical booking record includes:
- Booking number
- Date and time of booking
- Charges presented
- Name of the arresting agency (e.g., Sheriff's Office or Warsaw Police Department)
- Basic identification data of the detainee
The quickest way to view these records is the current inmate list on the sheriff's website. If you need an official copy of the record or documents not available in the online roster, submit a public records request through the Kosciusko County Public Records page. Note: email requests are processed only after payment.
For individuals transferred to Indiana Department of Corrections facilities, use the Indiana Incarcerated Database. A limited criminal history (felonies and class A misdemeanors) can be checked through the Indiana State Police Limited Criminal History Search.
Search the Kosciusko Jail Roster by Last Name or Booking Number
The inmate roster supports two main search methods.
Search by Last Name
- Open the inmate list or the INjail portal.
- Enter the last name in the appropriate field. If necessary, add the first name to narrow the results.
- Ensure the spelling is accurate — the system is sensitive to letter errors.
If you are unsure of the correct spelling, try entering just the first few letters of the last name (if the system supports it) or use the browser's search function on the full list page.
Search by Booking Number
The booking number is a unique identifier assigned during booking. It provides an accurate result without the risk of confusion between individuals with the same last name. This number is usually provided during a phone call to the jail.
If the Search Yields No Results
- Check the spelling of the first and last name.
- The person may have already been released — the roster only shows those currently in custody.
- There may be a delay between the actual arrest and the appearance of the record in the system.
- Call 866-322-5857 to verify information directly with jail staff.
Jail Roster Updates and Search Limitations in Kosciusko
The inmate roster is updated periodically throughout the day, but it is not instantaneous. There may be a delay from the time of arrest, completion of the booking process, and the appearance of the record on the website, ranging from a few hours to the end of the business day.
Main limitations to be aware of:
| Limitations | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Publication Delay | New records do not appear immediately after arrest — time is needed for processing. |
| Disappearance After Release | When an inmate is released, their record is removed from the current list. |
| No Archive | The online roster is a snapshot of the current state, not a complete database of all past bookings. |
| Juveniles | Data on individuals under 18 is not published. |
| Confidential Records | Certain categories of records are excluded from public access according to Rule 5 of the Indiana Rules on Access to Court Records. |
If you need data on past arrests or bookings no longer in the roster, submit an official request through the county public records request form or contact the sheriff's services department at 574-265-2219. To search for court cases related to a specific arrest, use the MyCase system — it contains records of Kosciusko County's circuit and superior courts.
