Booking answers at 765-482-1412. In Boone County, search the JailTracker inmate list. New release rules took effect January 1, 2024.

Under Criminal Rule 2.6, most people in this county go home without paying. But this county still uses money bail at times.

Search for an Inmate or Active Arrest Warrant in Boone County

1. Will a judge in Boone County set money bail?

Money bail still exists, but less often. Under Criminal Rule 2.6, judges begin with no bail amount. In this county, a safety risk can lead to bail.

Some cases are left out:

  • murder or treason charges;
  • an arrest while on pretrial release;
  • people under community supervision.

By IC 35-33-8-4, bail can't be higher than needed. Judges at the Circuit Court (310 Courthouse Square, Lebanon, IN 46052) set terms.

↑ Back to the question list

2. What if someone breaks release rules in the county?

Boone County sets 2 rules for everyone: come to court, break no laws. IC 35-33-8-3.2 lets judges order:

  • reporting to pretrial staff,
  • a stay-away order,
  • GPS monitoring,
  • and treatment.

Breaking a rule can lead to arrest.

↑ Back to the question list

3. What is the IRAS-PAT risk tool used in Boone County?

A short interview often comes first here. The IRAS-PAT tool has 7 questions. It takes 10 to 15 minutes. The score has 3 levels. The answers can't prove guilt in court. Local judges use it as one factor.

↑ Back to the question list

4. Where do I pay bail here?

  1. Check the Boone County JailTracker inmate list, or phone 765-482-1412.
  2. Let booking finish first.

  4. Pay at 1905 Indianapolis Ave., Lebanon, IN 46052 unless told otherwise.
  5. Have your ID and the full name ready.
  6. With an agent, the agent posts here.
  7. Expect a wait at the jail.
↑ Back to the question list

5. What kinds of bail are used in Boone County?

A bail order names one type:

  • Cash bail: you post every dollar. Refunds follow IC 35-33-8-3.2.
  • Percent bond: IC 35-33-8-3.2 allows a 10 percent cash deposit. A fee of $50 or less, plus $5, is kept.
  • Bail bond: an IC 27-10 agent covers it for a premium. In the county, the premium is kept.
  • Real estate bond: some judges take land as security.

The Clerk's office, 212 Courthouse Square, Lebanon, IN 46052, answers at 765-482-3510.

6. What happens at the initial hearing here?

A judge checks probable cause within 48 hours. The initial hearing covers charges and rights. Boone County often uses video from the jail.

Some minor charges have a fixed bail in this county. Call 765-482-1412 to ask.

↑ Back to the question list

7. When is bail returned here?

Refunds come after the case closes. Fees can come out of bail under IC 35-33-8-3.2. Call 765-482-3510 about a refund. Keep your address current.

↑ Back to the question list

8. How much does a bail agent charge here?

IC 27-10 requires a license from the Indiana Department of Insurance. Under IC 27-10-4-5, there are no discounts. Expect around 10 percent in the county.

↑ Back to the question list

9. What does Public Question 1 mean for this county?

Indiana voters passed Public Question 1 on November 3, 2026; the statewide totals are unofficial for now. Before the vote, judges could deny bail only for murder and treason. Courts may now withhold bail for other offenses when the case against the defendant is strong and the person presents a real threat to others. The bar is clear and convincing evidence, offered by the state, that no release conditions can reasonably protect the public. The denial can be appealed.

↑ Back to the question list

10. How do ICE detainers affect bail in the county?

Senate Enrolled Act 76 began July 1, 2026. Under Senate Enrolled Act 76, the judge gets notice in writing. Ask about a hold at 765-482-1412. Bail may lead to an ICE transfer. Get immigration advice before paying.

Important: Advance Registration and Visitor Clearance Required

Detention centers do not permit unscheduled or unverified video sessions. Correctional facilities require prospective visitors to submit government-issued photo identification and receive administrative clearance before booking an appointment, an approval process that can take up to 48 hours depending on facility staffing. You should verify your visitor approval status with the facility prior to scheduling. If you do not register well in advance, you will miss your loved one's scheduled visiting window for the week.

Step-by-Step Instructions to Register and Schedule a Video Visit

  • Visit www.icsolutions.com and sign into your account.
  • Register your visitor profile and upload a clear photo of your government-issued ID (driver's license or passport) for facility background review.

What the Inmate Needs to Do

The inmate receives a visitation notification on their housing unit video kiosk or terminal. At the appointed time, they log in with their PIN and sit before the terminal.

Important: Inmate Banking Policies Vary by Facility

Once a person is booked and moved to a cell, facilities do not always allow cash drop-offs or phone payments directly to the jail. Some might and you should confirm this by calling the facility and asking. But if you do not register online and fund your loved one's trust account immediately, they may be forced to wait days or weeks for standard paper processing, leaving them without essential soap, clean undergarments, basic medical sundries or snacks.

Step-by-Step Instructions to Register and Access Service

  • Obtain the inmate's legal first and last name, date of birth, and official six- to ten-digit Booking or Inmate ID number.
  • Visit the official Access Corrections portal at www.accesscorrections.com or download the Access Corrections mobile app.
  • Select the state and the exact detention facility or county jail where the inmate is currently housed.
  • Add the inmate as a contact and confirm their identity from the facility roster.
  • Enter your debit or credit card billing information, choose your deposit amount, review the facility processing fee, and submit your payment.
  • Save and print your transaction confirmation number for verification.

What the Inmate Needs to Do

The inmate does not need internet access to receive your deposit. Once approved, the funds post directly to their facility account balance. The inmate can verify their balance at the dayroom kiosk or on their trust statement and start ordering items on the next designated commissary day.

Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Boone County Jail

Money on an account at the Boone County Jail in Lebanon can be added four ways.

  • Online: Deposit through Access Corrections.
  • Phone: Call 866-345-1884 to make a deposit by phone.

Personal checks are not accepted, and cash should not be mailed. Medical visits carry a $10 co-pay taken from the account. At release, any money left is handed over on a debit card. If that card goes missing, call 765-482-1412.

The Boone County Jail on Indianapolis Avenue in Lebanon still takes paper mail at the jail, where officers open and inspect it before it is delivered. Only regular letters are accepted, so greeting cards and anything bulky are turned away. Address it to the inmate's full name, including their middle initial, in care of the jail.

Letters, money orders, books and legal mail:
Inmate's Full Name & Inmate ID#
C/O Boone County Jail
1905 Indianapolis Ave
Lebanon, IN 46052

  • Return address: Give your complete name and address. A letter signed with a nickname is refused, and one with no full return address is not delivered but put in the inmate's property until release.
  • Ink: Letters must be in black or blue pen. Pencil, marker, crayon and other colors are taken and stored with the inmate's property.
  • No greeting cards: The jail stopped accepting greeting cards in 2015. Musical cards, glitter, paint and string are also out.
  • Photos: Prints must be on glossy photo paper, the kind you get from a drugstore or photo lab. Pictures printed on regular paper, and nude, suggestive or gang photos, are not allowed.
  • Not allowed in the envelope: Stamps, blank envelopes, stationery, sticky notes, stickers, labels, tape, glue, staples, paper clips, plastic, bubble wrap, padded envelopes, ID cards and phone cards. Don't draw on the envelope, and print the address neatly.
  • Money orders: They are the only money taken by mail, so never send cash or a check. Make the money order out to the inmate and fill in their full name plus your own full name and address. Deposits can also be made at the kiosk in the Boone County Courthouse, by phone, or online.
  • Books: Paperbacks only, ordered from an online bookstore and shipped from there. Books mailed or dropped off by family are sent back, and an inmate may have no more than five at a time.
  • Newspapers and magazines: A newspaper must be mailed by its publisher through the post office, not left by a carrier. Magazines and every other kind of subscription are banned.

ICSolutions AdvancePay Prepaid Calling Accounts

Provider: ICSolutions (Keefe Group / TKC Holdings)
ICSolutions Logo ICSolutions →

ICSolutions provides secure inmate telecommunications systems that allow incarcerated individuals to place outbound telephone calls from housing pods to friends and family. Because correctional facilities do not accept incoming calls, establishing an AdvancePay prepaid account links funds directly to your 10-digit phone number so calls connect without carrier restrictions.

Important: Wireless Carriers Restrict Inmate Calls by Default

Major mobile cellular carriers do not permit traditional collect calls originating from correctional facilities. While some landlines might support direct monthly billing, mobile devices and internet-based telephone numbers require an active prepaid balance or funded debit account, which you can verify by checking with your provider. If you do not register online and fund an account right away, incoming calls from your loved one will automatically fail to ring through to your phone.

Step-by-Step Instructions to Register and Fund an Account

  • Visit www.icsolutions.com or call customer support at 1-888-506-8407.
  • Click Create an Account and register using your primary 10-digit telephone number and email address.
  • Select the state and facility where the inmate is currently detained.
  • Link the inmate to your profile using their full legal name and booking ID number.
  • Select Prepaid Collect to link funds to your phone number, or choose Debit Telephone to provide the inmate funds to call any approved number.
  • Select your deposit amount and complete payment using a credit or debit card.
  • Check your mobile phone settings to ensure unknown or automated numbers are not routed directly to spam.

What the Inmate Needs to Do

The inmate dials your 10-digit number from any dayroom phone and enters their assigned PIN. The automated system verifies that your phone number has an active prepaid balance and prompts you to accept the call. All non-privileged conversations are recorded and monitored by the facility.

Provider: ICSolutions (Keefe Group / TKC Holdings)
ICSolutions Logo ICSolutions →

ICSolutions Inmate Voicemail allows family members and approved contacts to leave a private, recorded voice message for an incarcerated individual. Because outside callers cannot phone an inmate directly, this one-way voice messaging feature ensures critical family updates and legal news reach your loved one even when you cannot be near your telephone to answer live calls.

Search for an Inmate or Active Arrest Warrant in Boone County

Important: Voicemail Feature Availability Varies by Facility

Inmate voicemail is not enabled at every correctional facility contracted with ICSolutions. Jails determine whether to offer voicemail services based on local security protocols and monitoring capabilities, which you should confirm with the facility directly. If your loved one's detention center does not support voicemail, you must set up an AdvancePay calling account so they can reach you directly during dayroom phone hours.

Step-by-Step Instructions to Leave an Inmate Voicemail

  • Log into your existing profile at www.icsolutions.com or dial 1-888-506-8407.
  • Confirm that your loved one's detention facility supports the voicemail feature.
  • Dial the facility's dedicated ICSolutions voicemail access telephone number provided on your dashboard.
  • Follow the automated voice prompts and enter the inmate's booking identification number.
  • Record your personal voice message (typically up to 3 minutes in length).
  • Accept the call charges using funds from your prepaid account balance or a credit card.

What the Inmate Needs to Do

When the inmate logs onto any housing unit telephone using their assigned PIN, the automated system notifies them that a new voicemail is waiting in their queue. The inmate follows the audio prompts to play the recording. All messages are subject to monitoring and recording by correctional staff.

GettingOut / ViaPath Inmate Messaging

Provider: GettingOut (Telmate) • Rebranding as ViaPath Technologies (myViaPath)
GettingOut Logo GettingOut → ViaPath Technologies Logo ViaPath →

GettingOut (a service of Global Tel*Link / Telmate) provides an instant two-way digital messaging and photo-sharing platform connecting families with incarcerated individuals via housing-unit kiosks and handheld tablets. The provider is actively rebranding as ViaPath Technologies (under the myViaPath platform); depending on the facility contract, local booking sheets and tablets may still refer to the service as GettingOut, GTL, or ViaPath, but both brand portals grant access to the same centralized messaging balance.

Important: Contact Authorization and Digital Mail Rules Vary

Inmate digital messaging rules are not uniform across all county detention centers. While some jails allow immediate two-way messaging upon registration, others require initial contact invitations or administrative ID verification, which you should verify directly with the facility. If you delay setting up an online profile and funding your Friends & Family messaging account, your loved one may face lengthy periods without direct family communication.

Step-by-Step Instructions to Register and Message an Inmate

  • Visit www.gettingout.com or the newly branded my.viapath.com portal, or install the GettingOut / myViaPath mobile app.
  • Create a user profile using your primary email address and 10-digit mobile phone number.
  • Complete identity verification by uploading a clear photo of your government-issued driver's license or state ID and taking a verification selfie if requested.
  • Search for the inmate by selecting the state, correctional facility, and their legal name or booking ID.
  • Send an outside contact connection request to link your account to their tablet profile.
  • Deposit funds into your 'Friends & Family Account' using a debit or credit card to cover message and photo-sharing costs.
  • Compose your text message in the chat box, attach approved photos, and submit it for jail screening.

What the Inmate Needs to Do

The inmate powers on their assigned pod tablet or approaches a housing-unit kiosk and logs into the messaging application with their PIN. They accept your incoming contact invitation on the screen. Once approved by institutional monitors, incoming messages appear in their inbox, and the inmate types a reply directly on the screen.

GettingOut provides specialized, secure handheld tablets for county jail inmates, offering access to messaging apps, telephone calling, legal research tools, eBooks, vocational training, and premium entertainment rentals. As part of GTL and Telmate's transition to ViaPath Technologies, tablet firmware and management platforms are moving to the myViaPath system.

Important: Tablet Feature Availability Varies by Facility

Jails manage tablet distribution according to individual facility contracts. While basic educational and legal materials are often provided without cost, access to music streaming, games, podcasts, and premium movies requires an active funded account. You should confirm the tablet rules with the facility directly. Registering and funding their media balance right away ensures your loved one has productive resources and recreation during their stay.

Step-by-Step Instructions to Fund Inmate Tablet Services

  • Confirm that GettingOut / ViaPath handheld tablets are active at your loved one's specific detention facility.
  • Navigate to www.gettingout.com or my.viapath.com.
  • Sign into your verified user profile and link the inmate's legal name and booking ID number.
  • Select Make a Deposit and choose either your Friends & Family Account (for messaging) or the inmate's personal Inmate Account (for entertainment and song rentals).
  • Choose your deposit amount, review convenience fees, and complete payment with a credit or debit card.
  • Notify your loved one that their tablet account balance has been funded.

What the Inmate Needs to Do

The inmate unlocks their assigned tablet or signs one out from the pod charging station using their biometric verification or PIN. Once logged in, their available balance appears on the screen, allowing them to download songs, stream educational content, and communicate with approved family members.
