Randolph County Inmate App Search
The official Randolph County recent-arrests page says information usually found there has moved to the Randolph County Sheriff app. It tells users to search the Apple App Store or Google Play for the Randolph County Indiana Sheriff App. After download, the county says all new arrests appear in Recent Arrest and all current inmates housed at the Randolph County Jail appear in Inmate Search. That is the core local inmate lookup finding.
The app is listed as Randolph County Sheriff IN or Randolph County Public Safety (IN), with OCV, LLC as developer. The advertised app features include reporting crimes, submitting tips, interactive features, and public-safety news. The app is not for emergencies. Call 911 for an emergency, and use the sheriff or jail phone for direct custody questions.
The Randolph County Jail information page supplies the local jail-service rules and facility facts.
That jail page connects the inmate search topic with visitation, commissary, HomeWAV, and the local facility.
Use the Randolph County Jail Roster
Use the local app first for current Randolph County Jail inmates and recent arrests. Then use INjail as the statewide county-jail fallback. If neither source answers the question, call the jail or sheriff. If the person has been sentenced and transferred, switch to Indiana Department of Correction records rather than continuing to search a county-jail roster.
- Open the Randolph County Sheriff app and check the Inmate Search section for current jail inmates.
- Check the Recent Arrest section when the question is a new booking or arrest date.
- Search INjail Public Access by county, last name, and first name if the app is unavailable.
- Call the jail or sheriff if custody, release, or booking details are unclear.
- Search MyCase for charges, court dates, bond entries, and disposition after a court case opens.
The sheriff recent-arrests source showed visible fields of name, date, charges, and agency. Examples of listed agencies included the Randolph County Sheriff's Department, Winchester Police Department, and Union City Police Department. Booking number, bond, holding pod, and court date were not shown in the captured public recent-arrests page.
INjail Randolph County Inmates
The Indiana public records hub links INjail Public Access as the official county-jail lookup portal. INjail is useful when a person may be in a county jail, not in state prison. The visible search fields from the research are Search, Counties, Last Name, and First Name. Select Randolph when a county filter is offered, then search by name.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| County | dropdown/filter | optional/expected | Select Randolph or search the statewide county-jail portal |
| Last Name | text | optional | Narrows inmate search results |
| First Name | text | optional | Use with last name for common names |
| Search | button/text | yes to run search | Runs the state portal or app workflow |
| Recent Arrest section | app feature/tab | optional | County page says new arrests moved here |
| Inmate Search section | app feature/tab | optional | County page says current Randolph jail inmates moved here |
INjail complements the app because it gives a statewide county-jail search route when local app access is not enough.
Randolph County Inmate Profile Fields
The research captured a public recent-arrests field inventory rather than a full live inmate profile. Treat the listed fields as arrest-listing fields, not a promise that every inmate profile contains bond, housing, or court-date details. Court and bond status should be checked in MyCase or with the jail when the public listing does not show it.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The person listed in the recent-arrest or inmate result. |
| Date | The arrest or listing date shown by the public source. |
| Charges | Booking-side charge text, such as warrant, theft, marijuana, or OWI entries. |
| Agency | The arresting or booking agency, such as the sheriff or a local police department. |
| Mugshot | Not confirmed as a full live inmate-profile field in the captured source. |
| Bond or court date | Not shown in the captured recent-arrests page, so verify with MyCase, court, or jail. |
Note: A jail or arrest listing is not the final criminal case record, and charges may change after court filing.
Randolph County Jail Contact
Randolph County Jail was constructed in 1994 and has 106 beds. The jail staff includes 20 full-time officers plus part-time officers, and full-time officers must complete a one-week Jail Academy accredited by the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy. The sheriff page identifies Sheriff Art L. Moystner, Chief Deputy Ken Hendrickson, Major Josh Geesy, and Jail Commander Michael Kennedy in the local staff context.
Randolph County Jail
155 E. South St.
Winchester, IN 47394
(765) 584-1721 or (765) 584-7331
Use direct contact for custody, jail-service, and visit questions.
For official court dates, filings, and bond entries after a case opens, use Indiana Courts Case Search or contact the Randolph County Clerk. Jail staff can answer custody questions, but the court maintains the case record.
Randolph County Inmate Visitation
Randolph County Jail allows one free onsite visit per week at the jail. All other visits must be scheduled through HomeWAV. Onsite visits must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance and can be scheduled up to one week out. Inmates can make video phone calls when both the inmate and the approved visitor are online.
| Item | Rule |
|---|---|
| Free onsite visits | One onsite visit per week at the jail |
| Scheduling platform | HomeWAV |
| Advance scheduling | At least 24 hours in advance |
| How far out | Up to 1 week |
| Remote/video calls | Available when inmate and approved visitor are online |
| Attorney visits | Not located in official county jail sources |
| Lockdown or holiday changes | Not located in official county jail sources |
HomeWAV Randolph County Visits
Phone money, video visits, and eMessaging use HomeWAV. HomeWAV's public pages provide sign-in, account creation, forgotten username and password tools, video calls, voice calls, messaging, tablets, and support. The research did not locate facility-specific rates in official Randolph County sources, so visitors should check HomeWAV before adding funds or scheduling a paid remote service.
The HomeWAV portal is the vendor source named by the county for inmate calls, video, and messages.
HomeWAV is separate from the jail roster, but it controls several ways families contact Randolph County inmates.
Randolph County Inmate Commissary
Commissary money can be added any time through Express Account. Money can also be added in the jail lobby using the silver kiosk. Express Account's public page advertises sign-up, login, send money, care packages, messaging, and community. The general workflow is to select the facility, resident, and deposit type.
| Service | Provider / Method | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Commissary deposits | Express Account | Online deposits and jail lobby silver kiosk |
| Phone account | HomeWAV | Add money through HomeWAV |
| Video visit | HomeWAV | Schedule online |
| eMessaging | HomeWAV | Subject to facility policy |
| Policy not located | No official Randolph mail rules found on the jail page |
The Express Account portal is the named Randolph County Jail commissary-deposit source.
Express Account handles money services, while jail custody status remains with the app, INjail, and jail contact channels.
County Jail vs Indiana DOC
Randolph County Jail records cover local custody, including pretrial detainees and people held on local matters. Indiana Department of Correction records cover sentenced state-prison custody. If a person was moved from Randolph County Jail to state prison, the county inmate search may stop showing the person even though a criminal case record remains in MyCase.
The Indiana Department of Correction is the state agency source for prison custody.
IDOC is the right path after transfer or sentence to state custody, not for most short-term county jail bookings.
The Indiana DOC offender search is the state offender lookup portal.
Use the DOC offender search when county jail tools no longer show a person who may have entered state custody.
Federal Inmate Search
Federal custody is separate from Randolph County Jail. Federal criminal cases from Randolph County route through the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, and federal inmates are searched through the Federal Bureau of Prisons. County jail staff and INjail will not be the main source after a federal transfer.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator is the federal custody source named in the research.
The federal locator should be used only for federal custody, not for local Randolph County Jail bookings.
Randolph County Inmates and Court Cases
An inmate result does not replace the court record. After booking, the prosecutor decides what charges to file, and the case appears through the Randolph Circuit Court or Randolph Superior Court when filed. MyCase can show charges, hearings, bond, Chronological Case Summary entries, financial obligations, and dispositions when public. For the arrest-to-charge distinction, use the Randolph County arrest records and court charges page.
Custody status can change faster than a court docket. Check the Sheriff app or INjail for current jail status, then use MyCase or the Clerk for the filed court case and official copies.
Records not shown publicly include juvenile matters, sealed or expunged cases, protected-party information, and sensitive personal identifiers. Booking information may also be limited by law-enforcement restrictions or system timing. When an online source conflicts with direct jail or court information, confirm with the official office that maintains the record.
