Decatur County Detention Center — Greensburg, Indiana

Decatur County Detention Center (DCDC) is the adult Sheriff jail at 601 S Ireland St, Greensburg, IN 47240. The Sheriff and detention center share this campus. The county says detainees moved here in March 2020 from the former jail at 119 E Railroad Street.

Use 812-222-4911 for dispatch and 812-663-8125 for the county-listed non-emergency line. Ask specifically for Detention Center staff because neither number is labeled as a dedicated family-information line.

Start with the Indiana County Jail Public Portal using the full legal name. Save the displayed name, booking number, housing field, arrest agency and case number. Then compare the case in MyCase. A court case does not prove the person remains at DCDC.

If no result appears, retry fewer fields and alternate spellings, then call dispatch at 812-222-4911 and ask for the Detention Center. Check IDOC, BOP or ICE only when county custody is not established.

For a current housing, visit, mail, medical-relay, property or release question, call dispatch at 812-222-4911 and request the Detention Center. Use 812-663-8125 for the county-listed non-emergency Sheriff line.

Use the Clerk at 812-663-8223 for case-file routing, Circuit Court at 812-663-8455, Superior Court at 812-663-8523, and Court Services at 812-663-3790 for probation rather than asking jail staff to decide court matters.

Onsite video visits are available in the Sheriff’s Office lobby Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–4 p.m., excluding county holidays. Visits last 20 minutes, begin on the half hour and must be scheduled no later than 24 hours before the visit. The county says a fee applies to all other video visits.

Use the county-linked InmateSales instructions, but confirm the person is still housed here before booking. Security operations can suspend visits at any time.

Only the approved visitor, accompanying minors and approved incarcerated person may appear during a visit. Nudity is prohibited. The public page does not publish the visitor-list process, accepted ID, minor documents, dress code, belongings, infant supplies, late-arrival rule or disability exception.

Call before travel. The posted sanction for a visitor’s first violation is a 30-day ban, the second is 180 days, and the third is indefinite.

The Sheriff page links to an InmateSales scheduling image. Create the account, request access to Decatur County, Indiana and the correct person, schedule in the InmateSales app, and use InmateSales View for the remote session. Do not select a namesake county in another state.

Before a paid session, test camera, microphone, speaker, Wi-Fi and ID/profile details. Save the confirmation and transaction number. CPC handles account, refund or transfer requests; the jail controls facility cancellations.

The county says housing blocks have telephones and that incarcerated people may make collect calls unless they buy a phone card through commissary. The booking/court free call is one three-minute call at a detention deputy’s discretion.

Confirm the live InmateSales facility listing before funding a friends-and-family account. Calls are monitored and recorded except communications protected by law. Ask CPC about account access and the jail about a facility restriction.

The Sheriff page states that staff will not deliver messages to incarcerated people. It confirms scanned non-privileged mail is delivered through inmate email, but it does not establish paid family email, texting, tablets or voicemail.

Use only products that appear for Decatur County in the live InmateSales account. For an urgent health or safety concern, call the Detention Center through dispatch rather than buying a message product.

Address personal mail: Inmate Name, 601 S Ireland St, Greensburg, IN 47240. Put your full name and return address in the upper-left corner. Non-privileged mail is scanned and delivered electronically. Mail for a person no longer held is returned when possible; otherwise it is discarded.

Do not enclose cash, money orders, checks, stamps, stamped or blank envelopes, electronics, protruding objects, obscene images or items sold through commissary.

Sources: Decatur County — Inmate Visitation and Mail

The county defines privileged mail as mail sent to or received from courts or attorneys and excludes it from the electronic-scan rule. Use the recipient’s full booking name and the jail address, and clearly identify the court or law office on the envelope.

The public page does not state the required “legal mail” marking, opening procedure or attorney-address verification. Counsel should call the jail before sending time-sensitive originals.

Softback reading books and magazines may come directly from a publisher or store. Simple greeting cards are allowed. Plastic, leather-bound and hardback books are prohibited. Publications and pictures may not contain tattoo designs, obscene images, or drug/weapon creation or use.

The page specifically bars books or magazines from Barnes & Noble even while allowing other publishers/stores. Confirm the seller and photo quantity/size before ordering. Public drop-offs are prohibited unless Administration or Medical approves an exception.

The county confirms a detention-center commissary and that incarcerated people may buy phone cards there. It also says not to mail cash, money orders or checks. No reviewed local page publishes the current trust-deposit vendor, kiosk, online method, fees, identifiers, spending schedule, package seller or release-balance method.

Call the Detention Center through 812-222-4911 and ask for the live deposit channel. Do not infer JailATM, Access Corrections or another vendor from a different Decatur County.

No reviewed public source names the jail medical provider, medical line, sick-call method or family information-release process. For an urgent issue, call 812-222-4911, request the Detention Center and state the person’s full name, date of birth, condition, last dose and immediate risk. Call 911 for an active community emergency.

DCDC’s property policy allows items pre-approved by Medical, but approval must come before delivery.

For suicide risk, withdrawal, psychosis or a sharp change in behavior under custody, call dispatch, ask for DCDC and request that the concern be relayed immediately to custody and clinical staff. Record the time, staff name and instructions. The public site does not publish a mental-health intake or family callback route.

988 supports callers in the community but cannot replace an in-custody alert. Veterans and loved ones may dial 988 then press 1.

The jail does not publish a medication-drop process. Call first with the exact prescription, pharmacy, prescriber, dose and last administered time. Do not bring pills, glasses, devices or records unless Medical or Administration pre-approves the item.

Healthcare privacy can limit what staff tells family. Ask how the incarcerated person can sign a release and how the clinician wants records transmitted.

The mail policy confirms that an incarcerated person may protest confiscated material through a grievance and that a sender may call the Detention Center for a complaint form. It does not publish the general grievance steps, deadlines, appeal levels or family complaint route for other issues.

Ask DCDC for the correct form and deadline. Keep dates, names, the issue, requested remedy and copies; do not place privileged facts in a public social-media message.

Ask DCDC directly about accessible parking, lobby access, effective communication, interpreter needs and visit modifications. The county ADA notice says accommodation requests should be made as soon as possible and no later than 48 hours before a scheduled event.

County ADA complaints go to Doug Westerfeld, 150 Courthouse Square, Suite 117, 812-663-8451, dwesterfeld@decaturcounty.in.gov, generally within 60 calendar days. Confirm whether a custody complaint must first use the jail grievance system.

No reviewed local page publishes a PREA coordinator, anonymous third-party channel or outside reporting agency. For immediate danger, call dispatch at 812-222-4911, request DCDC and say the concern involves sexual safety and needs preservation and separation measures.

Ask for the facility’s private PREA reporting and retaliation-protection process. RAINN can provide confidential community support, but it does not replace notifying the facility of an in-custody risk.

Search MyCase with the full name and save the cause number, court, charge, hearing date and counsel. Decatur Circuit Court and Superior Court both handle cases at 150 Courthouse Square, but they have different phone numbers and email addresses.

Confirm calendar changes with the court or counsel. Jail housing, transport and release processing are separate from the court docket.

Sources: Indiana Judicial Branch — MyCase · Decatur County — Circuit Court · Decatur County — Superior Court · Decatur County — Clerk

Check MyCase first. If counsel is not listed or the person wants to request appointed counsel, contact the court handling the case or the Clerk. Indiana’s State Public Defender explains that trial and direct-appeal representation is county-based; its office is not a substitute for the local appointment process.

Attorneys may visit at a reasonable time with proper ID, though staff duties can cause delays. Counsel should arrange confidential communication directly with DCDC.

The county posted a Bond Schedule Summary updated June 16, 2026, but a schedule does not replace the order in the individual case. Check MyCase and call the Clerk at 812-663-8223 or the Detention Center for the exact amount, type, holds and accepted posting location.

No reviewed page states the jail’s payment methods, card vendor, fee, payer ID requirements, refund process or after-hours handoff. Do not pay through a vendor until the county confirms it.

The incarcerated person must complete a Property Release Form naming the recipient. The form expires after 7 days; after that a new form is required. The named recipient must show valid ID.

Pickup is in the Sheriff’s Office front lobby 24/7. Housing-block books, crafts and letters are not released at the lobby; the person must mail them out. Call first to confirm the form is ready.

Sources: Decatur County — Inmate Visitation and Mail · Decatur County — Sheriff

Before pickup, confirm that DCDC has received and processed the release order and ask about other county, state, federal or immigration holds. The public site does not publish release times, discharge door, clothing, medication, transportation or remaining-funds procedure.

Have the person’s full name and booking number ready. Arrange a flexible pickup and a backup ride; do not promise a time based only on a court entry.

Court Services at 319 S Ireland St handles probation, home detention, pretrial services, wellness court and work release; those programs are not the jail. Call the assigned officer before reporting to the wrong door.

Use the Sheriff records request for eligible law-enforcement or jail records and the Clerk/MyCase for court records. Medical records and jail clinical information require the healthcare channel and authorization; a public-record request is not a substitute.

Describe the date range, person, incident or booking number and requested format. Expect privacy, investigatory and security exclusions.

Neither option is part of DCDC, and neither should be treated as secure parking for a jail visit.
