This is a private reference site, not a Blackford County government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, change a court date, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the public office that keeps the record for those tasks.
Official Jail Contact
For current Blackford County Jail custody, booking, bond, visitation, or records questions, start with the Sheriff's Office / Jail contact published by the county.
Blackford County Sheriff's Office / Jail
0064 N 500 E
Hartford City, IN 47348
765-348-0930 Ext. 3201
Monday-Friday, 8 am-4 pm
The county also provides a Sheriff's Office contact form. Treat that form as a contact path unless the office confirms it accepts formal APRA requests there.
- For someone in county jail, use jail inmate records and the sheriff contact above.
- For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots and ask the sheriff about APRA access.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and MyCase.
- For a specific local facility, use the Blackford County Jail page in the footer.
- For a sentenced Indiana prisoner, use the IDOC locator.
- For federal or immigration custody, use BOP or ICE ODLS.
Court and Charging Offices
Blackford County court records are separate from jail custody records. The Clerk is the recordkeeper for Circuit and Superior Court files. The Prosecutor is the charging office after a jail arrest.
