Johnson County Sheriff’s Office Jail Division

The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office Jail Division is the official jail resource for current inmate list access, bond schedule information, visitation rules, phone access, commissary, bonding, and mail procedures.

For bond information, the Jail Division lists the Johnson County Standard Bail Bond Schedule and explains that bail bonds fixed under the schedule are subject to review by a judicial officer upon written request by either party.

Restricted movement times: the jail restricts attorney visits, bonding, and other activities involving inmate movement from 5:00am to 7:00am, 11:00am to 1:00pm, and 4:00pm to 7:00pm, unless a court order or extreme circumstance applies.

Visitation and phone access

Johnson County Jail uses HomeWAV for video visitation. Visitors must create a HomeWAV account, and on-site visits must be scheduled 24 hours in advance pending visitor approval.

On-site visitation is available during these listed windows:

Day On-site visitation time
Sunday 1:00PM – 5:00PM
Saturday 8AM – 10PM
Saturday 1:00PM – 5:00PM

Inmates use HomeWAV Voice through the video visitation systems for regular phone calls. Phones are available in housing areas daily from 8:00 AM to 11:00PM. HomeWAV Voice cannot call pagers or internet phones.

Commissary, bonding, and inmate mail

Commissary deposits and web bonding are handled through JailATM.com. Friends and family may use MasterCard, VISA, or a bank debit card for web deposits.

Standard mail is scanned through the HomeWav system and delivered electronically to inmate HomeWav accounts. Legal mail continues to be delivered and inspected in person.

Mail for an inmate must include the inmate’s first and last name followed by the inmate’s “name number” and be addressed to Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, P.O. Box 609, Franklin, IN 46131. A complete handwritten return address is required.

  • Use standard size white paper for letters.
  • Write in pencil or black or blue ink only.
  • Do not add stickers, glitter, stains, staples, paper clips, laminations, balloons, jewelry, or altered materials.
  • Do not write about the inmate’s court case unless you are prepared for it to be read by jail staff and used in court.

Records, background checks, and court-date questions

The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office handles local background checks and public records checks separately from the current inmate list. Background checks must be completed in person at the Jail Lobby with state-issued identification.

For incident reports handled by a Sheriff’s Deputy, the Records Division accepts requests by email, in person, or in writing. Incident reports are free up to 4 pages, then 10 cents per page. Crash reports are $8.00.

The Sheriff’s Office cannot advise users about pending court dates, hearings, or cases. County court questions go through the main courthouse switchboard, while Greenwood City Court and Franklin City Court use their own phone numbers.
