Parke County Jail Overview
Parke County Jail is operated by the Parke County Sheriff's Office and serves as the county's local jail for adults arrested in Parke County. The official county sheriff page states that the sheriff is responsible for the county jail and the prisoners in the jail. Sheriff Jason Frazier is listed by the county and sheriff pages, and the jail shares the sheriff's Strawberry Road office location in Rockville.
The jail holds people booked after local arrests, people detained on Parke County warrants, probation matters, bond revocations, no-bond holds, and some transfer or extradition situations. Sheriff news posts give local examples of people taken to Parke County Jail after arrests for domestic battery, auto theft, false informing, probation violation, revocation of bond, and warrant pickup. Those posts are useful public notices, but they are not a complete inmate roster.
The jail should be treated as the local custody source. A person sentenced to the Indiana Department of Correction moves to the state prison lookup path, even when that person is housed at nearby Rockville Correctional Facility. That distinction matters in Parke County because a county jail and a large state prison both sit in Rockville.
Parke County Jail Capacity
The sheriff's public jail page does not publish a live daily population dashboard or an official county capacity statement. The best sourced local capacity figure found in the research is from the Indianapolis Star public Indiana jail inspection database, which is based on Indiana Department of Correction jail inspection data. That database lists Parke County Jail with 92 reported beds and a count of 84, or 91.30 percent capacity, in the captured view.
A separate Prison Policy Initiative correctional population table lists a historical Parke Co. Jail correctional population of 54 from December 31, 2013. That older number is useful for context only. It is not a current jail roster count, and it should not be used to decide whether someone is in custody now.
Parke County Jail Lookup
No dedicated county-branded full jail roster was located on the Parke County sheriff website. The official statewide portal to check is INjail Public Access, which is branded as the Indiana County Jail Public Portal. The research found Parke County metadata in the public endpoint, but Parke was not in the visible county dropdown list inspected on June 12, 2026. A missing INjail result therefore does not prove the person is not in Parke County Jail.
- Check INjail Public Access as the statewide Indiana county jail portal, using last name first and adding first name or birth date for common names.
- If Parke is not available or no result appears, call Parke County Jail at the main sheriff and jail number.
- Use Indiana SAVIN or VINELink for custody notification and release or transfer alerts.
- Search Indiana MyCase after formal charges are filed, since court records may lag behind booking.
- Use the IDOC locator only after sentencing or transfer to state prison, not for a fresh Parke County jail booking.
Readers often search the wrong system first. A person arrested by Parke County deputies, Rockville Police, Montezuma Police, Rosedale Police, Indiana State Police, or a conservation officer on a local matter normally starts with the county jail. A person shown at Rockville Correctional Facility is in IDOC state custody, not in the sheriff's jail roster.
Parke County Jail Contact
The jail and sheriff's office share the published Strawberry Road contact point. Use the main number for current custody, bond details, visit confirmation, property release questions, and records routing when the public web tools do not answer the question. For court copies or cash bond handling, the Parke County Clerk is a separate office at the courthouse.

Parke County Jail Visits
The official Parke County Jail page reviewed for the research had a Visitations heading, but no readable visit schedule was captured in the text. Do not rely on copied schedules from other Indiana counties. Call the jail before traveling to confirm the current visit days, sign-up rules, government photo ID requirements, child visitor rules, and whether visits are in-person, video, suspended, or limited by housing status.
| Visit Topic | Published Status | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Regular visit days | No schedule confirmed in captured jail text. | Call (765) 569-5413 before travel. |

Note: Confirm custody and visit status with the jail before sending money, ordering clothing, or driving to Rockville.
Parke County Jail Mail
The sheriff's jail page gives unusually specific mail and deposit rules. Inmate mail must use a plain white envelope, and the letter itself must be on originally purchased plain white lined paper. Photocopies, greeting cards, colored envelopes, and colored paper are not allowed. Non-legal mail is opened and checked for contraband and funds. Legal mail is opened in front of the inmate and checked for contraband.
The official jail page is the source for the following mail, phone, commissary, and bond details.
The jail page is more useful for family logistics than for roster search because it documents the rules that affect mail rejection, phone setup, deposits, and property release.

Parke County Jail Bond
Bond handling depends on the court order and the type of hold. Cash bond is paid at the Parke County Clerk's office during normal business hours. Debit or credit card bond can be paid at the jail or remotely through GovPayNow. The payer needs the defendant's name, book-in number, bail amount, and Pay Location Code 5590. The sheriff page states that GovPayNow adds a $5.00 special death benefit fee and a 9 percent non-refundable fee with a cap of $10,000.
Property release is also controlled by jail procedure. The inmate must complete a property release form naming the person who may pick up the property. The pickup person must have a valid driver's license or state ID. Personal items are not accepted at the window, but essential clothing may be ordered through outside retailers such as Amazon or Walmart if the inmate lacks commissary funds.

|---|---|
| Cash bond | Paid through the Parke County Clerk during normal business hours. |
| Card bond | Jail or GovPayNow, Pay Location Code 5590. |
| Remote card fee | $5.00 special death benefit fee plus 9 percent non-refundable fee, capped at $10,000. |
| Property pickup | Requires inmate form plus pickup person's valid driver's license or state ID. |
Parke County Jail Intake
Local arrest notices show the usual Parke County flow. A deputy, town police officer, state police officer, or other law enforcement officer makes the arrest or serves the warrant, then the person is transported to Parke County Jail. During intake, the jail creates a booking record, inventories property, checks commitment authority, and records identifying information.
Indiana county jail standards explain why a booking file can contain more than a name and charge. 210 IAC 3-1-6 requires county jails to record core information for admitted inmates unless prohibited by statute, including booking number, intake date and time, name, aliases, last known address, commitment authority, age, sex, race, height, weight, hair and eye color, fingerprints, classification, property inventory, and release information. Public web displays can be narrower than the jail's internal file.
Parke County Jail Records
Indiana's Access to Public Records Act starts from a policy of public access, but it also allows or requires some records to be withheld or redacted. Basic custody facts may be available by phone or through SAVIN, while copies of booking records, arrest reports, jail incident records, or booking photos may require a written request to the sheriff's office. Requests should identify the person, date of birth if known, booking date, book-in number, case number, and the exact record requested.
Formal court charges should be checked through MyCase or the Parke County Clerk after the prosecutor files a case. A booking charge can change when the prosecutor files, amends, reduces, or dismisses a count. For the broader Parke County custody path, the county jail record page gives more detail on Parke County jail inmate records.
