Indiana public-record requests are governed by the Indiana Access to Public Records Act, IC 5-14-3. The right place to ask depends on the type of record and the agency that created it.
- For someone held at the Perry County Detention Center, start with jail inmate records and the sheriff's current-inmate resources.
- For booking photos and roster image context, use jail roster mugshots and confirm public-record access with the sheriff's office.
- For charges, hearings, and filings after an arrest, search court records after a jail arrest through Indiana MyCase.
- For a specific local facility, use the Perry County Detention Center or Branchville Correctional Facility page.
- For a sentenced Indiana state prisoner, use the Indiana Department of Correction offender locator.
- For federal or immigration detention, use the BOP inmate locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
