Lookup Dearborn County Jail Roster

Dearborn County Law Enforcement Center / Jail Overview

Dearborn County Law Enforcement Center / Jail is operated by the Dearborn County Sheriff's Office in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. For Ohio County users, it matters because the Ohio County 2020 comprehensive community plan says prisoners were housed at Dearborn County for the jail program referenced in that plan. Dearborn therefore functions as both a Dearborn County detention facility and a practical lookup location for some Ohio County prisoners under intercounty arrangements. The jail information pages are more detailed than Ohio County's sheriff page, with separate official pages for inmate search, public visitation, commissary, inmate mail, phone cards, medical division, bail, bonds, and JCAP.

The official Dearborn pages inspected did not publish a rated jail capacity. The population held includes Dearborn County detainees and, when accepted under contract, Ohio County prisoners. Records may include pretrial detainees, people serving short county-jail sentences, people held on warrants, and program participants if eligible. A person who has been sentenced to the Indiana Department of Correction will eventually leave the county jail search path and move to IDOC's statewide locator. A federal or immigration case may require BOP, U.S. Marshals, or ICE channels instead of the county roster.

Dearborn County Law Enforcement Center / Jail Capacity and Population

No official Dearborn sheriff or county government page located during research gave a current rated capacity for this jail. Because the build source did not provide an official capacity or current population, the safer answer is to avoid a number and explain the custody role. Dearborn is the best documented jail source for Ohio County contract housing because the Ohio County CJI plan identified Dearborn County as the jail housing location, while a later 2026 Ohio County packet snippet only discussed a possible relocation to Switzerland County with terms pending.

For a live population check, use the public roster and then call the jail if the name is missing, newly booked, recently released, or connected to an Ohio County arrest. The roster's visible list showed pages of current inmate cards during inspection, but the official page did not state the exact refresh interval or how long release records remain searchable.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Dearborn County Law Enforcement Center / Jail

Use the official Dearborn County Sheriff's Office Inmate Search for current jail roster checks. The page is free to access and shows a "Type to Search" filter above inmate cards. Cards include names and mugshot images when available, with profile links that can show booking date, inmate ID, age, gender, race, height, weight, eye color, hair color, city, state, arresting agency, statute code, charge description, and bond fields. The roster is the strongest official online search source located for Ohio County prisoners housed under the Dearborn arrangement.

1. Open the Dearborn County inmate search and use the "Type to Search" field for the person's name.
2. Review the card list and pagination because the roster may show multiple pages of current inmates.
3. Open the profile link and confirm the identity through booking date, inmate ID, physical descriptors, city, arresting agency, charges, and bond fields.
4. If an Ohio County arrest is not listed, call Ohio County Sheriff first, then Dearborn at (812) 537-3431 or (812) 537-8700, and use SAVIN/VINE for notifications.

The Dearborn inmate search page captured in the project manifest shows the roster's search filter, mugshot cards, profile links, and pagination.

Use that page for county-jail custody only. A transfer to IDOC, a federal hold, or an immigration detention issue can move the search outside the Dearborn roster.

Dearborn County Law Enforcement Center / Jail Address and Contact

Dearborn County lists the Law Enforcement Center at 301 W. High Street in Lawrenceburg. The sheriff site and county government listings provide the main phone, a jail or contact line, and fax number. Office listings show Monday through Friday hours, closed weekends and holidays, with a lunch closure noted in one listing. For inmate-record questions, call with the person's name, date of birth if appropriate, booking date, arresting agency, and whether the arrest was in Ohio County or Dearborn County.

Visiting Someone at Dearborn County Law Enforcement Center / Jail

Dearborn's public visitation page states that all on-site video visitation is cancelled until further notice. Remote internet video visitation remains available for inmates housed at the Dearborn County Sheriff's Office. The page recommends using a computer with high-speed internet and a webcam and specifically recommends Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Confirm custody and account requirements before scheduling, especially if the person was arrested in Ohio County and might have been moved or released before the roster updated.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Dearborn County Law Enforcement Center / Jail

Dearborn publishes specific mail, commissary, and phone-card details. Inmate mail should be addressed to Dearborn County Law Enforcement Center, C/O Inmate Name, 301 West High Street, Lawrenceburg, IN 47025. All mail is subject to search for security reasons. Commissary purchases or inmate-account funding use the linked online system, require a valid email address for verification and receipts, and require a credit card. The official page says prepaid cards and debit cards are not accepted. After release, refunds over $5 are processed through DD Vending after the jail sends weekly release instructions.

Phone-card information includes a kiosk caveat: the facility and staff are not responsible for kiosk transactions and do not provide change. International calling-card calls start at $1.00 per minute. Long-distance in-state calls have a $3.00 connect fee, and out-of-state calls have a $3.95 connect fee. Fees and products can change, so confirm before purchasing for a newly booked person.

Booking and Intake at Dearborn County Law Enforcement Center / Jail

For an Ohio County arrest routed to Dearborn, the public record may not appear until the receiving jail completes booking in its jail-management system. The Dearborn roster profile fields are the best available model for what the public can see after booking: booking date, inmate ID, demographic descriptors, arresting agency, statute codes, charge descriptions, and bond fields. Court dates were not found in the static profile source, so formal Ohio County or Dearborn/Ohio court dates should be checked through Indiana MyCase or the proper clerk.

Medical screening and ongoing care are handled under Dearborn facility rules once the person is in custody there. The medical division page lists Monday-Friday medical department hours from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, a nurse on call 24/7, weekly doctor visits for inmates who request care, monthly dentist visits, a $10 doctor or dental fee unless indigent, and medications that must be approved before being passed twice daily.

About Dearborn County Law Enforcement Center / Jail

Dearborn is also the most documented program location for Ohio County jail cases in the research set. The JCAP program addresses chemical dependency and recidivism by identifying incarcerated people with chronic drug or alcohol needs and connecting them with treatment, accountability, probation, and support resources. The Ohio County CJI plan states Ohio County prisoners housed at Dearborn qualify for the jail program referenced there. That makes Dearborn's program pages relevant even when the original arrest occurred in Ohio County.

Dearborn's sheriff site is built on an OCV-style sheriff app platform and exposes jail information links that behave more like app modules than a traditional county database. The public roster is still the direct source for current jail custody. Most-wanted pages, sex offender tools, accident reports, bail pages, and contact forms serve different records purposes and should not be treated as a substitute for confirming active custody in the jail roster or by phone.
