Mail for Cass County inmates goes through Earth Class Mail. The address format is: Inmate Name and ID number, PO Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131. This is an unusual mail routing system, so make sure to use the correct address and include the inmate's ID number to ensure delivery.

When sending mail or scheduling visits, confirm the person is still at the Cass County facility first. Use VINE to check current custody status and location before making arrangements. People can be transferred, released on bond, or moved to a state facility after sentencing.

Public Records Law and Cass County Booking Photos

Indiana Code IC 5-14-3-5 defines what must be made public when someone is arrested. The required disclosures include the arrested person's name, age, and address. The date, time, and location of the arrest must be released. So must the arresting officer's name, the charges filed, and any bail or bond amount.

Cass County jail mugshots are part of this public record framework. Indiana treats booking photos as public records in most situations. The Indiana Public Access Counselor has published guidance confirming this general rule. See the PAC's opinion on mugshots and warrants for details on when records must be released and when they can be withheld.

IC 5-14-3-4 does allow exceptions. Investigatory records and information about active cases can be withheld temporarily. But routine bookings at the Cass County Detention Center fall under the public disclosure rules.

Indiana Courts offers the free MyCase portal at public.courts.in.gov/mycase/. Search by name to find criminal case records for anyone charged in Cass County.

Expungement and Cass County Arrest Records

Indiana's expungement statute, IC 35-38-5-5, allows people to petition for restriction of certain criminal records. An arrest that didn't lead to a conviction is often a strong candidate. Some convictions also qualify depending on the offense and time elapsed since the sentence ended. The petition goes to the Cass County Circuit Court.

Once granted, expungement restricts government agencies from disclosing that record. VINE and official court databases would no longer show it. The Indiana Public Access Counselor at in.gov/pac/ handles questions about records access and can receive formal complaints if records are improperly withheld or shared.
