Plainfield Jail Mugshots and Hendricks County Records

Plainfield jail mugshots are held by the Hendricks County Sheriff's Office, which runs the county jail at 189 E Campus Blvd in Danville, Indiana. When Plainfield Police Department officers make an arrest within Plainfield town limits, the person is transported to the Hendricks County Jail for booking. Hendricks County participates in the INjail portal, making inmate data available online statewide. Indiana Code 36-2-13-5 requires the sheriff to photograph every person who is arrested and booked, so booking photos are part of the official public record.

Hendricks County Jail and Booking

The Hendricks County Jail is at 189 E Campus Blvd, Danville, IN. The Hendricks County Sheriff's Office operates it and can be reached at (317) 745-6269. Danville is the county seat and where all Hendricks County jail bookings take place, including those from Plainfield which is roughly ten miles east of Danville.

Booking at the Hendricks County Jail follows standard Indiana procedure. Intake staff collect identifying information, record charges, photograph the person, and set bond. That booking record, including the photo, becomes public under IC 5-14-3-5. Anyone can request name, age, address, date and time of arrest, arresting officer, charges, and bail details.

Hendricks County participates in the INjail portal at public.indianajail.gov. This means Plainfield arrests booked into the Hendricks County Jail show up in the statewide search. You do not need to go to a county-specific site to find them. The INjail portal covers the county and updates regularly with current roster data.

Plainfield Police Department Records

The Plainfield Police Department is at 1075 W Main Street, Plainfield, IN 46168. Their main number is 317-838-3565. City officers handle law enforcement in Plainfield. All people they arrest go to the Hendricks County Jail in Danville for booking.

Police department records include incident reports and arrest paperwork from city officers. For the actual booking photo and the jail record, contact the Hendricks County Sheriff. The two agencies are separate and hold different records. The police department does not maintain mugshots.

INjail Portal and Online Access

The INjail portal at public.indianajail.gov is Indiana's statewide inmate search system. Hendricks County participates in this network. When someone is booked into the Hendricks County Jail after an arrest in Plainfield, that data becomes searchable through the portal.

The portal allows name-based searches. It covers multiple counties at once, so a single search can check several facilities. For Plainfield specifically, Hendricks County data in the portal gives you the most direct view of current custody status.

The portal shows current inmates. Once a person is released, they drop off the live roster. For historical records, contact the Hendricks County Sheriff directly or file a public records request. The sheriff's office maintains historical booking data that the online portal does not show.

VINE and Custody Notifications

Indiana SAVIN at indianasavin.in.gov provides custody status searches and notification registration for Hendricks County inmates. You can search by name and register to receive an alert when an inmate's status changes. Alerts can come by phone, text, or email.

The VINE network at vinelink.com covers this as well. Call 1-866-959-VINE (8463) for phone-based access. VINE works around the clock and covers most Indiana counties including Hendricks. Registration is free and open to anyone.

Public Records Rights and Expungement

Arrest records are public in Indiana. The Indiana Public Access Counselor has issued a formal opinion confirming that booking photos fall under public records law. That opinion is at in.gov/pac and applies statewide, including Hendricks County.

Expungement under IC 35-38-5-5 is how a past arrest can be removed from public access. If a Hendricks County court grants the petition, the sheriff must seal that record. After expungement, the arrest no longer appears in public searches. Eligibility depends on the charges and how much time has passed since the arrest or conviction.

If you believe an agency is improperly withholding arrest records, contact the Indiana Public Access Counselor at in.gov/pac. The PAC can review the denial and issue guidance on whether it complies with state law.
