Cass County Inmate Population Overview
Cass County has one local adult jail identified in the official county sources: Cass County Jail, operated by the Cass County Sheriff's Office. That jail is the local custody point for pretrial detainees, locally sentenced inmates, and people held on local charges or holds. The same county also has Logansport Juvenile Correctional Facility, but that facility is operated by the Indiana Department of Correction, not by the county sheriff. It should not be read as an adult Cass County Jail roster source.
The Cass County inmate population changes as people are arrested, booked, released, placed on pretrial supervision, sentenced, transferred to IDOC, or held for another agency. The official Cass County jail page gives strong contact, mail, visitation, and commissary details, but it does not publish a live current-inmate count or a public roster. That gap matters. A person can be in local custody before a court case appears, and a sentenced person can leave the jail count before IDOC updates a state record.
Cass County Inmate Population Statistics
The official sources located for Cass County do not provide a rated capacity, current population, annual bookings count, or average daily population for Cass County Jail. The strongest sourced population figures in the research come from the 2025 PREA audit for Logansport Juvenile Correctional Facility. Those numbers are useful for the total detention picture in Cass County, but they are state youth-facility numbers and must not be treated as adult county-jail figures.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Date |
|---|---|---|
| Cass County Jail rated capacity | Not published in located official source | County jail page inspected 2026 |
| Cass County Jail current population | Not published online | No Cass roster located; INjail did not list Cass |
| Logansport Juvenile designed capacity | 198 | 2025 PREA audit |
| Logansport Juvenile current population | 129 | 2025 PREA audit |
| Logansport Juvenile average daily population | 142 | 2025 PREA audit |
Cass County Inmate Population Trends
Trend data is limited because the official Cass County jail page does not publish a multi-year jail count. The located records do show one clear pattern: the county's adult jail lookup must rely on direct contact and records requests, while the state youth facility has formal audit data. Cass County Pretrial Services, established in 2018, is also relevant because it supervises eligible defendants awaiting trial as an alternative to jail when the court allows it.
| Year or Source | Population Signal | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 PREA audit | 129 current; 142 ADP | Logansport Juvenile only, not adult jail custody |
| 2026 Cass jail page | No online count | Publishes rules and contact information, not a live roster |
| 2026 INjail API | Cass absent | Participating counties did not include Cass when inspected |
Cass County Inmate Population Makeup
The adult jail population should be described by custody purpose, not by unsupported demographic figures. The county jail holds people in the local criminal process, including arrestees awaiting first appearance, defendants awaiting case action, locally sentenced inmates, and people held on local or outside-agency holds. The research did not locate an official Cass County Jail age, sex, charge-level, or race breakdown.
Logansport Juvenile Correctional Facility has much more specific published data. Its 2025 audit reports a male youth population, ages 12 to 20, custody levels 1 to 3, and no over-capacity period in the prior 12 months. Those details belong on the state facility page and in the state-custody portion of Cass County inmate population research, not in the adult jail count.
Laws Governing Cass County Inmate Records
Indiana law explains why some jail data can be requested while other records may be withheld. The public-records framework starts with access, but it also protects certain law-enforcement, juvenile, medical, safety, body-camera, and investigatory records. Cass County's public-information page provides the local records request path, while the jail and sheriff pages remain the first sources for current custody questions.
Key Statutes:
Indiana Code 5-14-3 gives the public a route to inspect or copy public records unless an exception applies.
Indiana Code 36-2-13-5 requires sheriffs to care for the jail and take identification data for people in custody.
Indiana Code 36-2-13-12 requires reports concerning people confined in county jail.
210 IAC 3 sets statewide county-jail standards for supervision, health, inspection, and jail operation.
Search the Cass County Inmate Population
A Cass County inmate population search begins with the question being asked. Current adult jail custody is different from a court case, a state sentence, a federal sentence, or immigration detention. Because Cass County does not publish a located online current-inmate roster, the search path starts with the jail phone line and moves outward only when that path does not answer the question.
- Call Cass County Jail at (574) 753-7800 for current custody, release, and local hold questions.
- Use the Cass County public-information request page for booking records or records not posted online.
- Search Indiana MyCase after charges have been filed in court.
- Search the IDOC incarcerated locator after sentencing or transfer to state custody.
- Use Indiana VINELink, the BOP locator, or ICE ODLS when the custody path points outside the county jail.
Cass County Roster Search Fields
The Indiana Judicial Branch links the statewide INjail Public Portal as a county-jail locator, but Cass County was not in the participating county API response when inspected. The fields below still matter because they show what the statewide county-jail portal can ask for in participating counties. For Cass County inmate population work, the absence of Cass from that portal is the key finding.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | Optional, but one criterion required | Alpha-only entry; maxlength 50 |
| First Name | Text | Optional | Used to narrow a name search |
| Birth Date | Date | Optional | Shown in m/d/yyyy format |
| County | Dropdown | Optional | Cass was not listed among participating counties |
| Booked Between | Date range | Optional | Includes presets such as today and last 30 days |
The INjail public search page is useful for counties that participate. It should not be described as the Cass County Jail roster unless Cass appears in the participating county list.
Cass County Inmate Record Fields
A local Cass County booking record must be confirmed by the jail or requested through the county process if it is not posted online. Statewide systems show structured fields that help readers understand what an inmate or custody record can contain, but those fields are not proof that the county jail publishes the same details online.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name and identifiers | Public name, INjail ID, booking number, or DOC number depending on the system. |
| Booking or arrest date | When the jail event occurred, if the system publishes it. |
| Charges or sentence | Local booking charge, court charge, or IDOC sentence block depending on custody stage. |
| Release status | Released on date, projected release date, or no current custody result. |
| Holds and cases | Other agency holds, court links, or cause numbers when available. |
| Mugshot | INjail has a mugshot endpoint, but no Cass sample was available because Cass was not participating. |
Cass County Jail vs IDOC Search
County jail custody and state prison custody answer different questions. A newly arrested adult usually starts with local booking and the Cass County Jail phone line. A person sentenced to state custody moves into the IDOC system, where the incarcerated locator can show facility, DOC number, sentence information, and projected release data. Federal and immigration custody are separate again.
| Custody Type | Who Runs It | Where to Look |
|---|---|---|
| Local adult jail | Cass County Sheriff's Office | Cass County Jail phone and public-records request |
| State sentenced custody | Indiana Department of Correction | IDOC incarcerated locator and IDOC records request |
| Federal sentenced custody | Federal Bureau of Prisons | BOP inmate locator |
| Immigration detention | U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement | ICE Online Detainee Locator System |
Cass County Detention Facilities
The Cass County inmate population is easiest to understand by separating the local adult jail from the state juvenile facility. The two facilities sit in the same county, but they use different operators, records rules, visitation systems, and lookup paths.
- Cass County Jail - county jail custody for adults held pretrial, locally sentenced, or on local charges and holds.
- Logansport Juvenile Correctional Facility - state IDOC youth facility, not the adult county jail roster.
Cass County Public Records Route
The county public-information request page is the formal route for records that are not available from a phone call, the jail page, or the courts. Completed public records forms may be sent to Publicinformationofficer@casscountyin.gov or submitted in person at the County Auditor's Office in the Cass County Government Building. Law-enforcement recordings have a separate form and may face tighter limits than a booking record.
The official Cass County Sheriff's Office page names Sheriff Ed Schroder and jail administration staff, including Jail Commander Mike Anderson. The sheriff page does not publish a current inmate roster, warrant list, booking report, mugshot gallery, or app link in the official sources inspected.
The official jail page is still an important custody source. It gives the jail address, phone, fax, mail rules, visitation rules, phone account vendor, and commissary instructions. That is the right place to confirm local jail procedures before a visit, mail item, or money deposit.
Cass County Inmate Population FAQ
Does Cass County publish a live inmate roster?
No official live Cass County Jail roster was located on the county jail page or sheriff page. INjail exists as a statewide county-jail portal, but Cass County was not listed among participating counties when inspected. Current jail custody should be checked with Cass County Jail.
Are Logansport Juvenile numbers Cass County Jail numbers?
No. Logansport Juvenile Correctional Facility is physically in Cass County, but it is an IDOC youth facility. Its 2025 audit figures are state facility figures, not adult Cass County Jail population counts.
When should MyCase be used?
Use MyCase after charges have been filed in court. It can show case numbers, charges, bonds, events, warrants, and public documents, but it is not a booking desk and does not prove current jail custody.
Where do federal or ICE detainee searches go?
Use the BOP locator for federal sentenced custody and ICE ODLS for immigration custody. No BOP prison or ICE detention center in Cass County was located in official sources.
