Find Fayette County Jail Mugshots

Fayette County jail mugshots and inmate records are managed by the Fayette County Sheriff's Office in Connersville, Indiana. The county does not maintain a public online inmate roster, so getting booking photos and arrest details requires contacting the jail directly by phone or using statewide tools like VINE. This page explains your options and points you to the right contacts for records requests in Fayette County.

Fayette County Jail Mugshots and Arrest Records

When someone is arrested in Fayette County, they are processed at the Fayette County Jail located at 123 W 4th St in Connersville. Booking includes a mugshot and fingerprints. Indiana Code IC 36-2-13-5 requires the sheriff to photograph and fingerprint individuals taken into custody for felony or misdemeanor charges. That booking photo becomes part of the official arrest record from that point forward.

Fayette County does not currently publish a live online inmate roster. If you need to check on someone in custody, your best options are calling the jail at 765-825-1110 or using the VINE system. Staff at the jail can confirm custody status and give you basic booking information during regular business hours.

What Indiana Law Says About Arrest Records

Indiana's public records law defines what must be released when an arrest is made. Under IC 5-14-3-5, the agency must disclose the arrested person's name, age, and address. The law also requires release of the date, time, and place of arrest, the arresting officer's name, the charges filed, and the bond or bail amount. These requirements apply in Fayette County just as they do across the rest of the state.

Booking photos fall under these disclosure rules in most cases. The Indiana Public Access Counselor has confirmed that mugshots are generally public records. You can read the PAC's full guidance at the mugshot opinion PDF. Exceptions exist for investigatory records under IC 5-14-3-4. If a case involves an ongoing investigation, some records may be held back temporarily.

VINE, which stands for Victim Information and Notification Everyday, is a free tool that works around the clock. You can search for Fayette County inmates by name at VineLink.com or by calling 1-866-959-8463. The system shows current custody status and where the person is held.

VINE also lets you sign up for alerts. If the person's custody status changes, whether they are released, transferred, or have a new court date, you get notified by phone, text, or email. This feature is free and useful for anyone tracking someone held at the Fayette County Jail.

Fayette County Court Records and MyCase

Court records add context to any arrest. Indiana Courts runs a free public tool called MyCase at public.courts.in.gov/mycase. You can search by name and see criminal filings in Fayette County courts, including charges, hearing dates, bond amounts, and case outcomes. MyCase doesn't show booking photos, but it shows the full court history tied to an arrest.

Fayette County cases go through the Fayette Circuit Court and Fayette Superior Court. Both court's records appear in MyCase. The tool is free to use and doesn't require an account. It updates as courts enter new filings, which makes it useful for tracking ongoing cases.

Expungement in Fayette County

Some people arrested in Fayette County may be able to limit access to their records through Indiana's expungement law. IC 35-38-5-5 sets out the criteria for expungement. If a court grants the petition, government agencies are restricted from sharing that record. This means official searches through the sheriff's office or state systems would no longer return the expunged arrest.

That said, records that were already shared or posted online before expungement may still appear on third-party sites. Expungement limits official disclosure, not private databases. Anyone in Fayette County seeking expungement should consult with a local attorney or contact legal aid services in east-central Indiana. The Indiana Public Access Counselor is another resource for understanding what records can and cannot be restricted.

State Resources for Fayette County Records

If someone arrested in Fayette County later moved to a state correctional facility, their records shift to the Indiana Department of Correction. The IDOC Offender Locator is free and lets you search for inmates by name. It shows facility location, sentence length, and projected release date.

IC 10-13-3-27 allows law enforcement to share limited criminal history with the public. For a broader look at someone's record beyond a single Fayette County arrest, the Indiana State Police criminal history services are the right place to look. That goes beyond booking records and covers convictions from across the state.
