Jeffersonville Jail Mugshots

Jeffersonville jail mugshots are processed at the Michael L. Becher Adult Correctional Complex, which the Clark County Sheriff's Office operates right in Jeffersonville. The jail sits at 501 E. Court Avenue Suite 159, Jeffersonville, Indiana, and is a 700-bed facility that handles all Clark County bookings. When Jeffersonville Police or other county agencies make an arrest, the person is booked at this facility, where staff take a booking photograph as required by IC 36-2-13-5. Arrest records including booking photos are public under IC 5-14-3-5. This page covers how to find Jeffersonville jail mugshots and who to contact at the Clark County Sheriff's Office.

Clark County Sheriff and the Becher Complex

The Michael L. Becher Adult Correctional Complex is a 700-bed jail operated by the Clark County Sheriff. It sits at 501 E. Court Avenue Suite 159, Jeffersonville, Indiana. Sheriff Scott A. Maples Jr. oversees operations. The Clark County Sheriff's website is at clarkcosheriff.com. For questions about a current inmate, bond, or visitation at the Becher Complex, that is the right contact.

The jail handles pre-trial detainees who cannot post bond, people serving county sentences, and those awaiting transfer to state corrections facilities. Given its 700-bed capacity, the Becher Complex is a substantial facility for a county of Clark County's size. Bookings happen around the clock, and a first hearing before a Clark County judge typically occurs within 48 hours of booking.

For more detail on the Clark County Jail, including records access and policies, see the Clark County page on this site. That page covers the sheriff's contact information, how to access records, and what tools are available for searching current inmates.

Jeffersonville Police Department

The Jeffersonville Police Department is at 2218 E. 10th Street, Jeffersonville, Indiana. Their main number is 812-283-6633. For records related to city arrests, the police department handles incident report requests. The department's website at cityofjeff.net has contact information and general department information.

City police make the arrest and prepare the initial documentation. After that, the person is transported to the Becher Complex for booking and photographing. The mugshot and jail record are county records held by the Clark County Sheriff. If you need the booking photo, contact the sheriff's office, not the city police.

Indiana's Access to Public Records Act at IC 5-14-3-5 gives anyone the right to request arrest records. Both the city police and the county sheriff must respond to written requests within seven days. Arrest data, including booking photos, is public by default in Indiana.

Indiana INjail Portal and Statewide Search

Indiana's statewide INjail portal at public.indianajail.gov lets you search for people currently held at county jails across Indiana, including Clark County. You can search by name to find someone from a Jeffersonville arrest and see their current booking status. The portal is free and updates in real time.

For older records or cases where someone has been released, the INjail portal may not have data. In that case, contact the Clark County Sheriff directly or search Indiana MyCase for court records tied to the arrest. Historical booking data lives with the sheriff's records office.

VINE and Indiana SAVIN

VINE is Indiana's free custody notification service. You can register at VINELink.com or call 1-866-959-VINE (8463) to set up alerts for a specific inmate at the Becher Complex. VINE notifies you when the person is released, transferred, or has any custody change. Alert options include phone call, email, and text message.

Indiana SAVIN at indianasavin.in.gov covers both county jails and state correctional facilities. If someone was transferred from Clark County to a state prison, SAVIN can help locate them. For state prison inmates specifically, the IDOC Offender Locator at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov is the most direct search tool.

VINE is especially useful for those involved in a case who need to know in real time when an inmate's custody status changes at the Jeffersonville jail.

Court Records for Clark County Cases

Cases arising from Jeffersonville arrests go to Clark Circuit Court or Clark Superior Courts. Indiana's free online court records tool, MyCase, lets you search by name or case number. You can see charges filed, hearing dates, and how cases were resolved. MyCase does not display booking photos but connects the jail booking to the court case.

MyCase is useful for tracking cases after someone is released from the Becher Complex on bond. The court case stays active in the system regardless of custody status. For closed cases, MyCase retains records for years, making it a good source for historical case information.

Public Records Law and Expungement

Indiana makes arrest records public under IC 5-14-3-5. The Clark County Sheriff and Jeffersonville Police must provide arrest data including booking photos when requested in writing. Exceptions under IC 5-14-3-4 cover active investigations, juvenile records, and a few other categories. Agencies denying a request must state which exception applies.

Expungement under IC 35-38-5-5 allows courts to seal past arrest and conviction records. Once a court grants expungement, those records no longer appear in routine public searches. IC 10-13-3-27 governs limited criminal history release, which is a more restricted process requiring a specific request to the Indiana State Police.

The Indiana Public Access Counselor at in.gov/pac handles disputes about public records access. Their published opinion on mugshot and warrant access explains what agencies must release and what they can legally hold back.
