Hancock County Jail — Greenfield, Indiana

Use Hancock County Jail / Corrections Center, 398 Malcolm Grass Way, Greenfield, IN 46140 for adult Sheriff custody. The county says this 446-capacity Corrections Center opened in May 2022. The jail may hold people from arrest through trial and sentence and may temporarily hold people awaiting an Indiana Department of Correction bed; that does not make it a state prison. Keep the former 123 E. Main Street Sheriff/jail references, juvenile custody, municipal police, IDOC prisons, federal custody, courts, probation, Community Corrections and treatment programs separate.

The current county site does not publish a searchable jail roster. Start with Indiana SAVIN for county custody notifications, then search MyCase for the court case. If the person is missing, call the jail at 317-477-1158 with full legal name, date of birth and approximate arrest date. A no-result may mean booking delay, release, transfer, spelling/alias mismatch or a different agency. Use the IDOC locator only after a state transfer; do not treat a court case as proof of current housing.

When scheduling, provide the visitor name, address, date of birth, driver-license number and every additional visitor, including children. Adults must show a driver license or state photo ID.

Visitors needing disability assistance should notify the visitation officer before the visit. The county does not publish an exact dress list, infant-item rule, alternative-ID process, special/long-distance visit route or visitor-appeal process.

The court sets bond. The jail page, labeled “beginning January 15, 2022,” states a $5 criminal-case bond fee that does not apply to a writ. A resident may use cash or a credit card they possess if enough funds are available. Another person may use the jail-lobby JailATM kiosk, which the county says accepts cash or credit, or JailATM online. Because Indiana bail law and court orders can change and the county page is date-labeled, verify the current order in MyCase and call 317-477-1158 before paying.
