Official Record Contacts

This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record.


St. Joseph County Jail Records

The Sheriff and jail hold the local booking and release record. Telephone access is posted as available around the clock, although FOIA processing and copy work may occur during administrative hours.

650 E. Main St.
P.O. Box 339

Use the county FOIA portal or Sheriff form for a documentary request. Give the name, booking range, and exact fields needed.


Courts and Community Supervision

State-prison, parole, probation, and discharge records belong to MDOC rather than the county jail. Call the local office before visiting because its official directory lists both a permanent and temporary location.
