Crawford County Jail Roster
The Crawford County Sheriff's Department links its inmate search to a Public Safety Cloud / JailTracker roster. The sheriff homepage describes the roster as a way to see the most recent bookings into the jail. Static review of the app did not expose the full set of search boxes or result fields, so Crawford County inmate records should be described by the confirmed sheriff information, not by guessed roster labels.
The official jail roster is useful for local custody. It is not the same as Indiana Department of Correction custody, federal prison custody, the sex-offender registry, or a complete court file. A person booked into the Crawford County Jail may later appear in MyCase if a criminal case, citation, probation issue, or other court matter is filed in Crawford Circuit Court.
The sheriff page also gives a public-use warning. Circumstances can change without notice because of law, emergencies, and department rules. The information is intended to comply with public information law, and it should not be used to injure, harass, or commit a criminal act. Charged persons are presumed innocent unless proven guilty, and known errors in inmate records may be verified or corrected by the department.
The inmate page manifest includes the Crawford sheriff inmate information page as a source for jail rules and contact practices.
That sheriff page supplies the local Crawford County inmate records rules for visits, mail, calls, money, and allowed property.
Use Crawford County JailTracker
Open the sheriff-linked Crawford County JailTracker inmate search when checking recent bookings or local custody. Because the public app is JavaScript-heavy, follow the on-screen search and filter prompts rather than assuming a fixed field set. If the roster does not load, call the jail.
Use direct jail contact when the issue is time-sensitive. Online roster entries can lag behind intake, release, transport, bond posting, medical movement, or court orders. A family member trying to arrange a ride, visit, phone account, or medication question should use the jail extension rather than waiting for a roster refresh.
- Open the JailTracker/Public Safety Cloud link from the sheriff site or the direct roster URL.
- Use the visible search or filter options shown by the app.
- Compare names carefully because common names can create false matches.
- Review the available booking or custody details shown in the profile.
- Call the Crawford County Jail at (812) 338-2802, Jail Ext. 2, when status or release information is unclear.
- Search MyCase for court charges, hearings, and dispositions if the booking appears tied to a Crawford Circuit Court case.
Note: No official Crawford County Indiana sheriff mobile app was found, so do not look for an app-only inmate roster.
Crawford Inmate Search Fields
The confirmed Crawford County jail roster field inventory is limited because the static capture showed the app shell, not a full visible form. The page can still identify the official roster source and explain what is not confirmed. This protects readers from false claims about search fields, bond fields, mugshots, or release dates that the research did not verify.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| JailTracker Inmate Search app | JavaScript app | Unspecified | Official sheriff-linked URL for recent bookings and current jail information. |
| Search or filter fields | Not visible in static capture | Unspecified | Open the roster and follow the current on-screen prompts. |
| Result data | Not fully visible in static capture | Unspecified | The sheriff describes the tool as most recent bookings. Do not assume unverified fields. |
Crawford Inmate Profile Details
Official sheriff pages confirm several Crawford County inmate record details outside the roster app. Those are safe to list because they come from the sheriff site and inmate-info page. Booking data and court data should be kept separate. Booking can exist before a prosecutor files formal charges, and MyCase can later show amended, dismissed, or reduced charges.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Facility or agency | Crawford County Sheriff's Department / Crawford County Jail at the Judicial Complex. |
| Jail address | 715 Judicial Plaza Drive, English, IN 47118. |
| Public phone | (812) 338-2802, with Jail Ext. 2 for jail contact. |
| Visitation scheduling phone | (812) 338-4880 before noon on the Wednesday of visitation. |
| Inmate search source | Public Safety Cloud / JailTracker linked by the sheriff. |
| Mail address format | Inmate's Name, P.O. Box 220, English, IN 47118. |
| Public disclaimer | Information may change without notice, charged persons are presumed innocent, and errors may be verified or corrected. |
Crawford County Jail Contact
The county jail and sheriff administration are tied to the same Judicial Plaza complex in English. The sheriff contact page says the administrative office is inside the Crawford County Judicial Complex, to the right when entering, marked by the sheriff's star on the window. Dispatch, jail, and deputies are available by phone at all hours, while administrative office hours are weekday business hours.
Use the jail extension for custody, release, visit, and inmate-rule questions. Use dispatch for urgent law-enforcement contact. Use the clerk or MyCase for court dates and filed charges. The same building can make the offices seem interchangeable, but jail staff and court staff answer different record questions.
Sheriff Jeff Howell is named on the department site, and the jail staff page names jail-command and correctional staff. Those staff listings help identify the department, but they do not change the public request path. For most inmate records questions, start with Jail Ext. 2, then use the sheriff contact form or email path if the office directs a written request.

Crawford County Booking Process
A person arrested in Crawford County is normally taken to the county jail, processed by corrections staff, searched and classified under jail procedures, assigned booking information, and held until release, bond, a court appearance, transfer, or another legal order. Jail status may change because of law, emergencies, department rules, court orders, or bond decisions.
The jail record is not the court record. For custody, use JailTracker or call the jail. For charges, hearings, case events, payments, and case outcome, search MyCase or contact the Clerk of the Circuit Court. Family members should avoid treating a booking charge as a final conviction because all charged persons are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
When the online roster and court docket appear to conflict, compare dates first. A jail booking may use an arrest description before the prosecutor files the formal charging information. Later, MyCase may show amended, reduced, dismissed, or added charges that do not match the first booking wording. The official case outcome comes from the court record.
Bond is another area where the source matters. A booking or jail contact may tell whether a person is held, released, or eligible for bond, while the court record may show bond orders, revocations, or later changes. If money has been posted, keep receipts and confirm whether the payment was bond, commissary funds, court costs, or another type of transaction.
Crawford Inmate Visitation
Crawford County publishes a clear in-person visitation schedule. Visits are weekly, limited in length, and scheduled by phone in the order calls are received. Rules can change, so visitors should call before arriving, especially when bringing children, traveling from outside English, or arranging a visit around work or court schedules.
Visitors should also plan around courthouse security and rural travel time. Official pages do not publish a detailed parking or security list for the Judicial Plaza complex, but visitors should avoid weapons, contraband, recording issues, and last-minute arrivals. The same complex serves court, sheriff, jail, and county business, so arrival time matters on busy court days.
| Topic | Crawford County Rule |
|---|---|
| Standard visit length | 30 minutes. |
| Visit frequency | Each inmate is allowed 1 visit per week. |
| Visit day/time | Wednesdays between 6:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. |
| Scheduling | Call (812) 338-4880 before noon on the Wednesday of visitation. Calls are scheduled first come, first served. |
| Visitor list | The visitor's name must be on the inmate visitation list. |
| Adult and teen visitors | Up to 3 adults or teens age 15 and older per visit with valid ID. |
| Children | Children of all ages are allowed on the first Wednesday of each month with an adult, subject to staff discretion. |
The sheriff page points visitors to Combined Public Communications / CPC Jail for online video visitation scheduling.
CPC video visitation is separate from the Wednesday in-person visit schedule, and the sheriff page does not publish a Crawford-specific video rate.
Phone and Chirp Messaging
Crawford County uses InmateSales for phone time and Chirp text messaging purchases. The sheriff inmate-info page says phone time can be bought online, texting devices called Chirps are available, and Chirp messages cost $0.10 for each incoming or outgoing message. Those service charges are distinct from court costs, bond, fines, and clerk fees.
The manifest source for phone and message accounts is InmateSales.
Use InmateSales for communication funding, then use the jail phone line for questions about whether a specific inmate can receive calls or Chirps.
Mail Money and Property
Mail must use the inmate's name and P.O. Box 220, English, IN 47118. All incoming mail is screened by an officer. The jail does not allow colored ink or pictures, but crayon-colored pictures are accepted. Pictures may be sent within reason and at officer discretion. Plain cards are allowed, but glitter, layers, pockets, vulgar material, and nude material are not allowed.
Books must be purchased and mailed from Amazon, and only softback books are allowed. Money can be sent by money order or cashier's check through the mail. The jail does not accept two-party or personal checks. Money can also be deposited through the front-entrance kiosk with cash or card, or online through JailATM.
Basic hygiene items are provided, and additional hygiene items may be bought through commissary. Certain property can be brought for an inmate only if it is new, unopened, and accepted by staff or an officer. The sheriff page specifically lists eyeglasses with plastic frames and contact lenses as additional accepted items. Call before bringing property because officer discretion controls.
The manifest source for deposits is JailATM.
JailATM handles commissary deposits, while court fines, bond, and case payments must be handled through the court, clerk, or the payment channel shown in MyCase.
State and Federal Inmates
Crawford County inmate records do not cover every person with a Crawford County connection. A person sentenced to state prison may appear in the Indiana Department of Correction incarcerated database. That state locator is for sentenced DOC custody and is not a substitute for the local jail roster. The sex-offender registry is also separate from jail custody.
The IDOC search can be run by last name or by both first and last names, with both names narrowing the result set. That helps after a Crawford County sentence leads to state custody. It does not confirm whether a newly arrested person is still in the Crawford County Jail, whether bond has been posted, or whether a court appearance is scheduled.
For federal prisoners, the BOP locator is limited to federal custody. For a federal case that is still pending, PACER or the federal district court may be the records source. For a local Crawford arrest, the county jail and MyCase remain the first places to check before moving to state or federal locators.
Federal custody records are separate as well. The manifest includes the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator for sentenced federal prisoners.
Use the BOP locator only for federal prison custody, not for a recent Crawford County jail booking or a pending Crawford Circuit Court case.
