Wayne County Correctional Center — Richmond, Indiana

The adult Wayne County Sheriff jail is at 200 E Main Street, Richmond, IN 47374. The route calls it Wayne County Correctional Center, while current Sheriff pages use Wayne County Jail and Wayne County Detention Center. Use 765-973-9397 for jail information; 765-973-9393 is the Sheriff's general office line.

Current official pages do not publish an operational bed capacity, live population or security-level label. The archived generic record's “maximum” label is not a current Sheriff classification. Confirm housing and restrictions for the individual booking rather than treating an old directory field as policy.

Use the inmate search linked by the current Sheriff site. Search spelling variants and save the booked name, booking number, charges, bond type/amount and court fields shown. Verify a time-sensitive result at 765-973-9397 before travel, payment or mail.

Try full and shortened names, the Indiana jail portal, VINE and MyCase, then call 765-973-9397. A missing result can reflect spelling, booking delay, release, hospital care, youth handling, another county or transfer. Use IDOC, BOP and ICE only for their separate custody systems.

The county still hosts a first/last-name inmate search marked revised April 4, 2016. Prefer the roster linked by the current Sheriff site, and use the older page only as a fallback. Neither page replaces telephone confirmation for a release or transfer.

The Sheriff publishes onsite and offsite video visits every day. Remote visits go through CPC at cpcjail.com. The public page does not establish face-to-face family visiting, so do not arrive expecting physical contact.

Sources: Sheriff visitation rules · Combined Public Communications

The published windows are 7:00 a.m.–12:45 p.m., 1:30–5:45 p.m. and 6:30–10:45 p.m. The page also lists 11:30 p.m.–2:30 a.m. as “lock down visitation only”; confirm what that restricted label means before using it. Schedules can change with housing, discipline or operations.

Sources: Sheriff visitation rules · Sheriff contact directory

Each published video visit runs 15 minutes. General-population residents are allowed one onsite visit every six hours each day; housing-unit kiosk rules and current status still control. The page does not publish a fixed booking lead time, weekly cap for every classification or no-show rule.

Sources: Sheriff visitation rules

Visitors 18 or older must present a driver's license or state identification card. Visitors 17 or younger must be signed in with first name, last name and date of birth; guardianship papers are required if the relationship is questioned, and the legal guardian must supervise constantly. The page does not publish passport, tribal ID or other alternate-ID acceptance.

Sources: Sheriff visitation rules

No more than four visitors may participate per onsite session, and every adult or child counts. Visitors may see more than one resident in a day and the same resident once every six hours, subject to the resident's status. Confirm whether the CPC remote party limit is the same before paying.

Sources: Sheriff visitation rules · Combined Public Communications

Onsite visitors are subject to search. The Sheriff bars weapons, food/drinks, baby car seats/strollers, bags, purses, phones/pagers, cameras and other unacceptable articles. Footwear is required; gang clothing, low-cut/revealing/provocative clothing and shorts, skirts or dresses shorter than mid-thigh can cause denial.

Sources: Sheriff visitation rules

Published denial grounds include appearing under the influence, being the known victim in the current case, a no-contact/restraining/protective order, or a known domestic-violence incident involving the resident within the prior six months. Safety, supervision, identification and conduct violations can also end or suspend access. Ask jail supervision before booking if any order or victim restriction may apply.

The Sheriff page displays the offsite charge as “$.39 cents per minute,” a unit conflict that could mean $0.39 per minute but is not safely normalized. Check the price shown by CPC at checkout before authorizing payment. Save the confirmation and receipt.

Sources: Sheriff visitation rules · Combined Public Communications

If a visit disconnects accidentally, the Sheriff says the visitor can log back into the kiosk for the remainder. If that fails, save the resident name, date/time, device, error screen and receipt; contact CPC at 1-877-570-4268 and send approval or discipline questions to 765-973-9397. A local cancellation or refund rule is not published.

Combined Public Communications operates the inmate phone system. Calls are available from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.; phones are off from 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. for lockdown/quiet time. Calls are collect unless the resident has money on the CPC PIN-debit account, which can fund calls including cell phones.

Sources: Sheriff inmate phone page · Sheriff inmate money page · Combined Public Communications

The resident receives a phone PIN at admission. The Sheriff warns that sharing it lets another resident use the PIN-debit balance and that the jail is not responsible for those funds. Treat the PIN as private and report suspected misuse promptly to CPC and jail information.

Document the called number, date/time, exact error and charge. The Sheriff directs phone repairs, call blocks and money refunds to CPC at 1-877-570-4268. Housing restrictions and discipline remain jail questions at 765-973-9397.

The Sheriff says family/friends can send emails, picture emails and SMS messages through InmateCanteen. Availability, screening, delivery timing, image limits, pricing and refunds are not published locally. Do not treat an electronic message as confidential legal communication.

Sources: Sheriff inmate money page · Inmate Canteen

No current Sheriff or county page reviewed publishes a personal-mail address, recipient identifier, return-address rule, page/photo limits or rejection process. Call 765-973-9397 and ask for the exact current format tied to the booking. Do not rely on third-party mail instructions or assume the street address accepts personal mail.

Sources: Sheriff contact directory · Sheriff Jail Division

The reviewed official pages do not publish the privileged/legal-mail address, required marking, attorney verification, original-document handling or rejection appeal. Counsel should confirm the current legal-mail route directly with jail information at 765-973-9397 before sending time-sensitive papers. Electronic family messaging is not a privileged substitute.

Current local official pages do not state whether photos, greeting cards, books, magazines, newspapers or personal packages are accepted, or whether a publisher/direct-vendor rule applies. Confirm every item with 765-973-9397 before ordering. InmateCanteen commissary purchases are a separate approved transaction path, not proof that mailed packages are allowed.

TurnKey inmate-account money can be deposited in the lobby 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or online at InmateCanteen. The Sheriff says the TurnKey kiosk accepts credit cards but does not issue a receipt; save a bank record and booking identifiers. TurnKey kiosk issues go to 1-715-386-5700.

Sources: Sheriff inmate money page · Inmate Canteen

The separate CPC lobby kiosk funds the resident's phone PIN-debit account 24/7 and does issue a transaction receipt. Keep that receipt; CPC kiosk problems go to 1-877-570-4268. Do not confuse phone funds with the TurnKey trust/commissary account or the bond kiosk.

Sources: Sheriff inmate money page · Sheriff inmate phone page · Sheriff bonding page

TurnKey processes commissary orders every Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. and sends them within 72 hours; jail staff ordinarily distribute them Friday or Saturday. Residents may edit orders on the housing-unit kiosk until processing, and family/friends may order through InmateCanteen. Availability depends on funds, housing and current inventory.

Sources: Sheriff commissary page · Inmate Canteen

Missing or damaged commissary items must be reported to commissary staff before the resident returns to housing or leaves the distribution area. The Sheriff says TurnKey does not refund money; the stated remedy is replacement the following week. Family should preserve the order record but understand the resident must make the timely internal report.

A resident with less than $1.00 in the inmate account for one week or longer may order from a zero-cost indigent list. The public page does not identify each item, application step or appeal if indigent status is denied. Ask the resident to use the housing kiosk and grievance path for a disputed determination.

Wayne County sought a two-year inmate-health contract beginning May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2027.

Call 765-973-9397 or use the jail information window to confirm the amount, type, charges and holds.

A paid bond can still be followed by another county warrant, probation/parole hold, state/federal transfer, immigration action or a court condition. Ask jail information what holds remain and whether the release order is received before arranging pickup. The Sheriff promises release as soon as possible after payment but publishes no fixed completion time.

A transfer to another county, IDOC, BOP, ICE, hospital or youth placement changes the locator, visiting, phone, mail, money and release rules. Stop pending payments and confirm the receiving custodian first. Wayne County procedures do not travel with the person.
