This is not a Clay County government office. Do not rely on this site for emergency help, active custody confirmation, bond payment, release approval, court filing, visitation scheduling, or an official record copy.
Clay County Jail Contacts
Local jail custody questions start with the Clay County Sheriff's Office and Clay County Jail. The same Brazil facility is also listed by ICE, so immigration-detainee questions use the separate ICE detainee information line.
Clay County Jail / Clay County Sheriff's Office611 East Jackson Street
Brazil, IN 47834
Non-emergency phone: 812-446-2535

Where to Send Record Questions
Use the route that matches the record type. A jail booking, a court case, a state prison record, a federal prisoner record, and an immigration detainee record are not maintained by one office.
- For current local jail custody, use the Clay County Jail contact above and the Clay County jail inmate records page.
- For booking photos, use the sheriff's office route and the Clay County jail mugshots page for APRA and photo-access context.
- For filed charges, hearings, and dispositions after an arrest, use Indiana MyCase and the court records after a jail arrest page.
- For Clay County court office information, use the Indiana Judicial Branch Clay County courts page.
- For sentenced Indiana prisoners, use the Indiana DOC offender locator.
- For federal sentenced prisoners, use the BOP inmate locator.
- For immigration detainees, use ICE ODLS or the ICE Clay County Jail facility page.
- For custody notifications, use Indiana VINELink.
Clay County Court and Prosecutor
The county courthouse and prosecutor office are separate from the jail. Court-copy questions, hearing dates, and public case access should be handled through the court or MyCase. Prosecutor contact information is useful when a criminal case has been filed, but the prosecutor is not the jail records custodian.

Sheriff App and Site Messages
The official Clay County page points residents to the Clay County Sheriff's Office (IN) app for more sheriff information. Use only the Indiana app source when checking sheriff communications, because many other states also have a Clay County.
