Find Hamilton County Booking Records, Bond, Court Dates and Jail Services

This guide explains exactly how to search and interpret that record, what to do when no result appears, how local pretrial and bond rules work, and how to handle visitation, mail, money, phone calls, medical concerns, court records and release checks.

How to search the Hamilton County Jail roster correctly
What the Hamilton County inmate detail page can tell you
| Field | What it means | What to do with it |
|---|---|---|
| Subject number | A person-level identifier used in the local jail system. | Use it to distinguish people with similar names and review booking history. |
| Booking number | The identifier assigned to one specific booking event. | Use it for the active arrest, bond and booking questions. |
| Prisoner type | May indicate pretrial, sentenced or another custody category. | Do not assume bond or release options are the same for each type. |
| Housing facility | The jail or annex assignment connected with the booking. | Confirm before arranging services because housing can change. |
| Booking origin | The police or law-enforcement agency connected with intake. | Use it when an arrest is recent or the county record is incomplete. |
| Bond type and amount | The release instrument and amount attached to a cause or booking. | Check every cause number and hold before paying anything. |
| Court date and room | A scheduled hearing shown by the jail system. | Verify on MyCase and with the assigned court because schedules can change. |
| Docket number | The Indiana court case number. | Use it as the most precise MyCase search term. |
| Disposition or sentence | The status or result imported into the booking record. | Use the court record as the controlling source. |
| Scheduled release date | A planned date displayed for some inmates; many records leave it blank. | Treat it as changeable, not a guaranteed pickup time. |

How Hamilton County bond and pretrial release work
A roster bond amount is only the starting point. Hamilton County’s 2025 pretrial schedule requires eligible jail detainees to be screened with a state-approved risk assessment unless a court orders another result. A judge can review release, detention and conditions at the initial hearing.
People booked on criminal charges are evaluated for risk and release conditions. Alcohol-related arrests are screened when legally eligible and capable of completing a valid assessment.
Higher-risk Category 4 cases and specified offences are held until review by a judicial officer. Identification problems, warrants and current supervision can also require detention.
Published warrantless-arrest bond schedule
| Charge level | Published base bond | Important limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Murder | No bond | Court controls detention and release. |
| Habitual offender; Level 1 or 2 felony | $50,000 | Risk screening, court order and other holds can control. |
| Level 3 or 4 felony | $25,000 | Published base for qualifying warrantless arrests. |
| Level 5 felony | $10,000 | Violent or excluded cases may be detained for judicial review. |
| Level 6 felony | $5,000 | Cash bond may be one-half of the schedule where permitted. |
| Class A misdemeanor | $2,500 | Offence-specific exceptions apply. |
| Class B misdemeanor | $1,000 | Offence-specific exceptions apply. |
| Class C misdemeanor | $500 | OWI and other listed offences have higher amounts. |
Rules that commonly change the amount or delay release
The published schedule doubles listed bond amounts for out-of-state residents.
Bond amounts are generally cumulative. Multiple misdemeanors are capped at $5,000, or $10,000 for out-of-state residents, under the schedule.
Hamilton County courts require a separate appearance bond for each cause number; a lump-sum bond cannot cover multiple causes.
A person who cannot be positively identified may be held without bond until a court hearing.
Specified domestic-violence, battery, stalking, confinement, residential-entry and related arrests may have a mandatory 24-hour no-release period.
A person on probation, parole, bond, recognizance or another release may be held until the court sets bond.
