Pike County Jail Roster Overview
The Pike County Sheriff's Office provides the official inmate search through its OCV-powered sheriff website and app feed. The public web route is the sheriff inmate search page, and the official feed route lists current inmates as entries. The research notes that the feed list itself has no search or sort controls shown in the feed data, while the public site has an inmate-search page that requires JavaScript.
The roster is a custody and booking tool, not the complete court case file. It may show charge labels, statute codes, and sometimes court disposition text, but MyCase and the Clerk of the Circuit Court remain the better channels for filed charges, hearing events, pleas, sentencing, court costs, and final disposition. State prison custody is separate and routes to the Indiana Department of Correction offender locator linked from the Indiana public-records hub.
The sheriff app feature list is broad. It includes Contact Us, sheriff staff, Submit a Tip, Inmate Search, inmate communication, sex offenders, recent news, jail information, bond information, inmate commissary and phone calls, inmate visitation, inmate mail, inmate medical, inmate paperwork, inmate property, accident reports, criminal-history requests, incident reports and public-record requests, and body-worn camera video requests. Those app and web functions make the sheriff platform the main local source for custody and jail-service records.
The official Pike County Sheriff inmate search page is the public web entry point for current jail roster lookup.
This sheriff roster page is the right starting point for current Pike County inmate records before moving to court records for case outcome details.
Use the Pike County Inmate Roster
The official feed is available at Pike County Sheriff's inmate feed. Use it for current booking entries and the sheriff site for the standard web search experience. If the roster does not load, call the jail or use the sheriff public-record request channel for records not shown online.
- Open the Pike County Sheriff's inmate search page or the official OCV inmate feed.
- Use the public page search function if it loads in the browser. In the feed view, scan the current entries because the feed configuration says search and sort are not shown.
- Open or review the matching inmate entry and compare the name, booking date, arrest number, age, race, gender, and charge text.
- Use MyCase for filed court charges and final case status, especially when the roster shows a charge label or disposition word.
- Call the Pike County Jail for current custody questions that are not answered by the roster.
Note: Roster entries can change quickly after release, transfer, bond posting, or court action.
For a person who is no longer in the Pike County Jail, use the next likely custody channel. A recent local release may no longer appear in the current roster. A sentenced state prisoner should be searched through the Indiana DOC offender locator. A person transferred to federal custody should be checked through federal custody channels, not the Pike County jail roster.
Pike County Inmate Search Fields
The Pike County inmate feed inventory is narrower than many county roster systems. The official feed displays entries and metadata, while the public site provides the JavaScript inmate search interface. The research did not locate a separate advanced search form with booking-number, date-range, or custody-status filters. Use the fields below as the supported search and review inventory from the official materials.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name/title | Text shown in feed | Review field | Lists last name and first or middle names, such as a public roster title. |
| Feed search | Interface control | Not shown in feed | Manifest configuration says showSearch false for the feed list. |
| Feed sort | Interface control | Not shown in feed | Manifest configuration says showSort false for the feed list. |
| Public web search | JavaScript page | Depends on page load | The sheriff inmate-search page is the public web route. |
| Arrest number | Numeric identifier | Review field | Appears in inspected entries, but no separate arrest-number search field was documented. |
The limited search fields are important for name matching. A common name should be checked against the booking date, arrest number, age, race, gender, and charge text before assuming the entry is the right person. When identity is uncertain, call the jail rather than relying on a roster image or a copied entry from another source.
Pike County Inmate Profile Fields
The live official feed inspected for Pike County showed current inmates as individual entries. A sample entry had the title format for a person's name, booking date, arrest number, age, race, gender, charges, and booking image. Several fields common in larger jail portals were not shown in the inspected feed.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name/title | Public roster name, usually last name followed by first and middle names. |
| Booking Date | Date of booking in MM/DD/YY format in the inspected feed. |
| Arrest Number | Numeric arrest identifier, such as the example arrest number captured in the research. |
| Age, race, gender | Basic demographic fields shown in the public feed. |
| Charges | Indiana statute or code, level or class abbreviation, and charge description. |
| Booking image | Small and large image URLs hosted through the official feed platform. |
| Not shown | Date of birth, address, bond, court date, housing unit, release date, and medical flags were not shown in the inspected feed. |
Pike County Jail Contact
Pike County's official sheriff and jail information points to one local jail facility at the sheriff address in Petersburg. No separate Pike County satellite jail or published capacity figure was located in the assigned research. The same sheriff contact framework supports jail custody, inmate roster questions, bond posting, public records, criminal-history checks, incident reports, accident reports, and jail-information pages in the sheriff app.
Public-record requests to the sheriff may be mailed or delivered in person between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, and a fee may apply. Local criminal-history checks are in office during regular business hours with a valid ID or driver's license. The research warns that those checks cover verified Pike arrest and booking information and do not show charging decisions or trial outcomes.

Pike County Booking and Bond
A Pike County booking entry is a sheriff-side custody record. The roster may show the arrest number, booking date, charge text, and booking image after intake. That booking entry is not the same as the filed court case. When a criminal case is opened in Pike Circuit Court, MyCase can show the charge list, docket events, hearings, disposition, sentencing, and financial information when those details are public.
Pike sheriff bond information says felony bonds are set case by case. Bonds may be posted 24 hours a day in person at the Sheriff's Office by cash or credit/debit card, or online through JailATM. Debit and credit card payments carry a 10 percent convenience fee. If bond information is not shown in the roster, use the jail phone number or court case record for current instructions.
Booking can also start several related records. The inmate roster is the jail record. The prosecutor's filing creates the court charge record. MyCase tracks public case events after the court case opens. Sheriff public-record pages handle incident reports, accident reports, body-worn camera requests, and criminal-history requests. Keeping those channels separate prevents a booking entry from being mistaken for the full criminal court record.
The sheriff app also links the Pike inmate commissary and phone account information for funds and phone time after booking.
Commissary and phone accounts are jail services, while case payments and court costs are handled through court channels.
Pike County Inmate Visitation
Pike County visitation is video-based through Combined Public Communications and InmateSales. Visitors must create an account before scheduling. On-site visits are available in the sheriff or jail lobby at no cost, and off-site visits are available for a fee. Each inmate can receive two no-cost visits per week, but the inmate must tell visitors the assigned daily visiting hours and be at the kiosk on time.
| Visitation Item | Official Pike Sheriff's Rule | Practical Note |
|---|---|---|
| Provider | Video service by Combined Public Communications | Use InmateSales to create the account. |
| On-site visits | Available in the sheriff or jail lobby at no cost | Visitor must still have an account. |
| Off-site visits | Available for a fee | Fees are vendor based and not listed as a county fee schedule in the research. |
| Free visits | Each inmate can receive two visits per week at no cost | The no-cost allotment belongs to the inmate. |
| Daily visiting hours | Inmate must tell visitors assigned daily hours | Jail staff will not remind inmates to attend. |
| Unauthorized visitors | Unauthorized visitors will terminate the visit | Use the correct account and approved visitor details. |
The official Pike inmate visitation page is the assigned source for video visit rules.
Because the inmate must communicate assigned daily visiting hours, the published rule is a schedule process rather than a fixed public day-by-day calendar.
All visitors must have an account. The sheriff rules state that unauthorized visitors will terminate the visit. Jail staff will not remind inmates to attend their visits, so the inmate and visitor must coordinate the assigned daily time in advance.
Pike County Inmate Mail
Pike County Jail reserves the right to inspect inmate mail. Privileged correspondence from attorneys, courts, and government officials is inspected in the inmate's presence. Incoming mail is scanned into the jail correspondence system and delivered electronically, while originals are placed in inmate property and returned at release. Incoming and outgoing mail may be opened and inspected for contraband or prohibited property.
Prohibited mail items include Polaroid pictures, nudity or suggestive clothing photos, alcohol, drugs or drug indicators, gang indicators, obscene pictures, pictures larger than 4x6, sound-making greeting cards, glitter, glue, envelope stamps, magazine or newspaper copies, internet or book copies, perfumed letters or foreign odors, colored ink, pencil, marker, crayon, and lipstick. Incoming mail must be in blue or black ink or standard pencil.
Mail violations may be returned to the sender or passed to investigators for possible criminal charges. For inmate signatures, the research says documents must be mailed to the inmate and returned by mail. The office does not transport paperwork or verbal messages. Notary service is available on site for inmate use only, and the inmate should not sign until in the notary's presence.
The sheriff's official Pike inmate mail rules source is one of the assigned manifest images for inmate records.
Mail rules are separate from roster lookup, but they matter once a Pike County inmate is confirmed in custody.
Pike County Inmate Medical and Property
Pike County Jail has an in-house medical contract with Quality Correctional Care. The research states that QCC provides an in-house medical provider, mental health provider, and nursing staff. HIPAA privacy rules mean medical personnel and jail staff cannot discuss specific patient information or treatment with anyone other than the inmate. Accepted medical items include prescription glasses, contacts, and approved prescription medications. Inmates request medical services by electronic Sick Call form.
The sheriff's Pike inmate medical information page explains the medical-service limits that are not visible in a jail roster entry.
Medical privacy is one reason the public inmate profile does not include health details, treatment notes, or protective medical flags.
Property release is also controlled by jail rules. Inmates can release only property arrested with, such as a phone, wallet, jewelry, keys, or debit cards. Clothing and cash will not be released. Property pickup requires a valid state-issued ID or driver's license. If an inmate is released to Indiana DOC, Pike County Jail holds property for 30 days and then disposes of it.
Commissary and phone accounts are handled through InmateSales.com. The sheriff rules also allow lobby kiosk deposits by cash or credit/debit card, but the kiosks will not make change. Money orders or cashier's checks may be mailed to the jail address and must be payable to the inmate. These fund rules support communication and commissary access, not court fines or criminal costs.
The official Pike inmate property release page documents the property limits and ID requirement.
Property and paperwork requests should follow the jail rules rather than being sent through the court-record search process.
