Grant County Inmate Roster Overview
The Grant County Sheriff's Office operates the local jail and links to a county-specific current-inmates roster. The sheriff's jail page also links to inmate mail, visitation, commissary information, and VINE notification. The local jail contact block lists the Grant County Sheriff at 214 E 4th St, Marion, IN 46952, non-emergency phone (765) 668-8168, and emergency 911. The current sheriff is Delmiro "Del" Garcia.
A Grant County inmate record is not the same as the criminal court case file. The roster can show custody and booking information before all charges appear in MyCase. Once the prosecutor files charges, the case appears in the assigned Grant County court. For the court side of the arrest-to-charge path, use the filed case record, not the jail roster alone.
The official jail division source is shown below. The Grant County Jail Division page is the source for jail contacts, VINE, and links to jail services.
The jail division source supports using sheriff-hosted channels first for Grant County inmate records and custody questions.
Search Grant County Inmate Records
Grant County has more than one inmate search channel. The Sheriff's current-inmates page links to the county roster at the local jail-management address. The Indiana County Jail Public Portal provides a statewide county-jail lookup with a county dropdown that includes Grant. SAVIN/VINE provides custody change and release notifications by phone or online. The IDOC offender locator is separate and should be used for sentenced state-prison custody rather than current Grant County jail booking.
- Open the sheriff's current-inmates page and follow the linked local Grant County roster.
- If the local roster does not return a clear result, search the Indiana County Jail Public Portal and select Grant County when available.
- Use name and birth-date details to reduce mistaken matches when the portal allows them.
- For release alerts, register with SAVIN/VINE by phone at 1-866-959-8463 or through VINE.
- For sentenced prison custody, search IDOC by name or DOC number instead of relying on the county roster.
- For filed charges, hearings, or dispositions, search MyCase under the assigned Grant County court.
The sheriff's current-inmates page is the local roster entry point. The Grant County current-inmates page links the public to the county roster rather than publishing all fields as static text.
Because custody status changes quickly, the roster should be confirmed with the jail when timing matters.
Grant County Inmate Search Fields
The research captured the Indiana County Jail Public Portal fields more clearly than the county-specific roster fields. The county roster was linked by the Sheriff's page but did not expose a full static field list in accessible text. For Grant County inmate search work, use the statewide field inventory below and treat the local roster as the first county-specific lookup.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | Optional | Search by inmate last name. |
| First Name | Text | Optional | Use with last name to narrow results. |
| Birth Date | Date | Optional | Date field exists, but static capture did not show exact format. |
| County | Dropdown | Optional | Dropdown includes Grant and other Indiana counties. |
| Search | Button | Yes to run query | Runs the portal search. |
| Reset or Clear | Button | No | Clears the form when available. |
The statewide portal source is shown here. The Indiana County Jail Public Portal can be used when the user needs a county-jail lookup beyond the local Grant County roster link.
The statewide portal adds a second official lookup channel, but it should not replace direct jail confirmation for urgent custody status.
Grant County Inmate Profile Fields
The county-specific roster did not expose static field labels during research. The statewide INjail app bundle showed public inmate-profile concepts including inmate, booking, release, charges, bond, age, height, sex, case, and county. Those concepts support a careful field inventory, but the page should not promise mugshots, exact pod details, medical flags, projected release dates, or bond-by-charge fields unless visible in the live roster at the time of search.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Inmate name | The person currently returned by the roster or jail portal. |
| Booking information | Booking status or date information when the portal displays it. |
| Release information | Release status if shown, or a need to confirm with jail or VINE. |
| Charges | Booking charges or filed charge references that may later differ from court filings. |
| Bond | Bond or bail information when public and available. |
| Age, height, and sex | Identity descriptors shown in the statewide public inmate-profile concepts. |
| Case | Related court case information when linked or displayed. |
| County | The county jail connected to the custody record. |
Note: Booking charges can change when the prosecutor files formal charges, so court records should be checked for the filed case.
Grant County Jail Contact
The Grant County jail contact card is the official fallback when the roster does not answer a current custody question. The sheriff's pages list one local jail facility contact for the county. Historical jail material says the three-story Security Center was able to accommodate 108 people and included a separate book-in area, holding room, drunk tank with four showers, and radio room. Later official history discusses overcrowding, litigation, renovations, and own-recognizance releases.

Sheriff Garcia's official biography gives additional administration contact context. The sheriff administration source confirms the local office identity behind Grant County inmate records and jail operations.
Grant County Booking and Bond
An arrest may appear first in the Grant County jail roster or statewide jail portal. After the prosecutor files charges, the court case appears in MyCase under the assigned Grant County court. The Grant County Prosecutor prosecutes all criminal cases in the county. Local rules then route charges by level and location, with Level 6 felonies generally routed to Superior Court 3 unless a pending case or probation route controls, Level 5 and higher felonies randomly assigned among county courts, and many city-court misdemeanors or infractions routed to Gas City or Marion City Court.
Grant County local rules include a detailed bond schedule for warrantless arrests. The research defines bail as the full amount, cash bond as 10% of bail in cash, and surety bond as a usually non-refundable fee paid to an approved surety company. A $5 special death benefit fee applies to a 10% cash bond or surety bond, and a 10% administrative fee capped at $50 is assessed if cash bond is posted. Credit-card bail requires the service fee. Some categories require judicial review before release.
The sheriff's jail-history page supplies local jail context. The current jail history source describes capacity, overcrowding, own-recognizance releases, and jail renovation issues.
That local history is useful for understanding why custody status and release decisions can change quickly after booking.
Grant County Inmates Beyond Jail
VINE is a notification channel, not a roster replacement. The jail page states that users can call 1-866-959-8463 or use VINE to register for release or status notification. Registrations by phone and email are confidential. The service calls back until PIN entry or 48 hours pass, users should leave a direct number, more than one phone number can be registered, and phone, PIN, or email updates are handled through the SAVIN number.
IDOC is a different custody system. When a person is sentenced to state prison, the county jail roster is no longer the right primary source. The IDOC offender-locator landing page and the IDOC search portal handle state-prison custody and DOC-number searches. Federal custody is separate again and should be checked through federal sources, not the Grant County jail roster.
The IDOC locator source is included below. The Indiana Department of Correction offender locator page explains the state-prison search route.
IDOC should be used after state-prison commitment, while the Grant County roster should be used for county jail custody.
The direct IDOC search portal is also assigned in the manifest. The IDOC offender locator search is the search interface for state custody records.
Using both IDOC sources keeps county jail records distinct from state correctional records.
Grant County Jail Visitation
Grant County visitation depends on the inmate's housing location. The posted schedule states that days and times are determined by housing unit and are posted on the kiosk. Outside visitors must set up an account with inmatesales.com, create or log in to the account, choose a facility and product, enter personal information, purchase minutes, and schedule the visit. Mobile visits require the app login. Customer service for friends and family is 866-340-7879.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2A, 2D, 3B, 3D, 4A | Monday | 7:00-9:30 a.m. | 1:30-3:30 p.m. | 6:30-10:30 p.m. |

| 5A, 5B, 5C | Saturday | 7:00-9:30 a.m. | 1:30-3:30 p.m. | 6:30-10:30 p.m. |
Inmates are allowed one 30-minute onsite visitation per week, and extra onsite visits are canceled. Remote visits from home can be scheduled at any time except the cellblock's visitation day and have no limit in the research source, but remote visits may carry a fee. Children under 18 cannot visit in the jail lobby but may visit remotely. Onsite visitors may be barred if under 18, convicted of a felony in the last 10 years, named as a victim in the inmate's case, or on probation or parole.
Grant County Inmate Mail
Grant County inmate mail must be addressed with the inmate name and ID number, Grant County Jail, IN, PO Box 76550, Highland Heights, KY 41076. Books must be ordered through Barnes & Noble or Books-A-Million and shipped to the Grant County Sheriff's Office. Books must be new and appropriate. The jail does not accept packages from Amazon. The official commissary page existed during research, but it did not include substantive HTML details beyond the contact block, so deposit limits and vendor fees should be confirmed with the jail before sending money.
Mail format: Inmate Name-ID Number, Grant County Jail, IN, PO Box 76550, Highland Heights, KY 41076.
Note: The research found no Grant County sheriff-specific mobile app for inmate lookup; MyMarionApp is civic, not a jail app.
