Marshall County Inmate Population
The Marshall County inmate population is centered on one local detention facility, the Marshall County Jail in Plymouth. The Marshall County Sheriff's Department, led by Sheriff Matthew Hassel, operates the jail and publishes the current inmate roster through a CentralSquare CloudGov public portal. That roster is the main public source for people in county custody after arrest, court commitment, probation or parole hold, local sentence, or an agency hold shown in the booking data.
Not every person tied to a Marshall County case stays in the county jail. Once a defendant is sentenced to state prison, the record moves into the Indiana Department of Correction system. Federal prisoners use the BOP inmate locator, and immigration detainees use ICE ODLS unless they are temporarily held at the county jail under an ICE hold. That split is why the Marshall County inmate population must be read as a set of linked custody systems, not just one list.
Marshall County Inmate Population Statistics
The most current local figures in the research come from the official CentralSquare roster inspection and recent local jail-population reporting. The official roster API returned 116 current records on June 12, 2026. A local April 2026 jail-population report attributed to the sheriff gave a 233-bed capacity, 115 inmates as of May 1, 2026, and an April average daily population of 117. Those figures should be treated by source type: the roster is current custody data, while the capacity and average daily population numbers come from local reporting.
| Measure | Figure | Source and Date |
|---|---|---|
| Current roster count | 116 current records | Official CentralSquare roster API, inspected June 12, 2026 |
| Rated capacity | 233 beds | April 2026 local jail-population report attributed to the sheriff |
| Jail count | 115 inmates | May 1, 2026 local report |
| Average daily population | 117 | April 2026 local report |
| Prior comparison | 141 ADP | October 2025 comparison in April 2026 local report |
Marshall County Jail Population Trends
Marshall County's recent jail population is lower than the crowding figures reported several years earlier. The April 2026 average daily population of 117 was below both the April 2025 average daily population of 139 and the October 2025 average daily population of 141. The May 2026 count of 115 also used about half of the 233-bed capacity reported in the same local coverage.
Older news-reported figures show why capacity still matters. Local reporting from the January 2020 jail information meeting described a 2018 average daily population of 210, 2019 ranges from 218 to 272, and a record count of 308. Those are historical news figures, not current official counts, but they explain why Marshall County inmate population pages should show both current capacity use and the longer history.
| Year or Date | ADP or Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2014 | About 130 ADP | News-reported historical sheriff presentation |
| 2018 | 210 ADP | News-reported crowding context |
| 2019 | 218 to 272 range | Record count of 308 reported at 2020 meeting |
| Oct. 10, 2024 | 139 count | Local report with status and sex breakdown |
| Apr. 2026 | 117 ADP | April 2026 local jail-population report |
| June 12, 2026 | 116 current records | Official roster API inspection |
Marshall County Inmate Population Makeup
A September 2024 local jail report gave the clearest published breakdown for the Marshall County inmate population. It listed 139 people on or around October 10, 2024. Of those, 85 were pretrial, 14 were awaiting arraignment, 33 were serving felony time, 3 were serving misdemeanor time, 1 was serving civil time, and 3 were held for other agencies. The same report listed 111 male inmates and 27 female inmates.
- Pretrial custody: 85 people were listed as pretrial in the September 2024 report.
- Awaiting arraignment: 14 people were waiting for an arraignment step in that report.
- Serving time: 33 felony-serving, 3 misdemeanor-serving, and 1 civil-serving people were counted.
- Other agencies: 3 people were held for another agency in the published breakdown.
- Sex breakdown: The same source reported 111 male and 27 female inmates.
The current roster returns sex and race fields at the data level, but the public Marshall County roster display is narrower. It shows mugshot, name, sex, and arrest date as configured visible columns. Race is available as a search filter, but the research did not locate a current aggregated race report from the county.
Marshall County Jail Record Laws
Indiana law is the legal backdrop for the Marshall County inmate population and the public roster. Basic arrest and jail information is generally available under the Indiana Access to Public Records Act, but the same law lets agencies withhold confidential records, restricted juvenile records, sealed records, and certain investigatory material. That means a roster entry can be public while reports, photos, witness material, or juvenile details may still be limited.
Key Statutes and Rules:
IC 5-14-3-3 gives the general right to inspect and copy public records unless an exception applies.
IC 5-14-3-5 requires basic law-enforcement daily log and arrest information to be made available.
210 IAC 3 sets Indiana county jail standards and includes reporting elements for county jail operations.
Indiana death-in-custody reporting requires county jails and other entities to report qualifying in-custody deaths to ICJI.
Search Marshall County Inmate Records
The official county lookup starts at the sheriff's current inmate roster link, which opens the CentralSquare public inmate roster. The roster is configured for today's current inmates. Its in-custody date is fixed to the current day, so the best search is a name search with race or sex only when needed to narrow common names. A person who was released, transferred, or sentenced may no longer appear there.
The official roster interface captured in the manifest shows the public current-inmate search used for Marshall County Jail records.
The roster image matches the research finding that Marshall County uses a current-custody portal rather than a broad archive of released jail bookings.
- Open the sheriff's Current Inmate Roster link or go directly to the CentralSquare inmate portal.
- Leave the in-custody date at the default current day because Marshall County limits the roster to current inmates.
- Enter all or part of the person's name.
- Use race or sex only when a common name returns too many results.
- Review mugshot, name, sex, arrest date, and any expanded hold or bond text that appears.
- If the person is not listed, call the jail line, then check IDOC, SAVIN/VINE, BOP, or ICE as the custody facts require.
Marshall County Roster Search Fields
The Marshall County roster has a simple public face, but the configuration shows which fields are active and which fields exist only behind the application. This matters because users often expect to search by booking date, release date, agency, or cell block. For Marshall County, the available public filters are narrower.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | Optional | Free-text search of roster names. |
| Race | Dropdown | Optional | Includes All/default plus active race values. |
| Sex | Dropdown | Optional | Includes All/default, Female, Male, and Unknown. |
| In Custody On | Date | Fixed | Defaults to current date and is disabled for Marshall County. |
| Cell Block | Dropdown | Not enabled | Returned by the API but not enabled as a public filter. |
| Held For Agency | Dropdown | Not enabled | Agency data exists, but the public filter was not enabled. |
Marshall County Inmate Record Details
A Marshall County inmate record can show more than the four visible columns suggest. The public display is configured for mugshot, name, sex, and arrest date. The official API sample also returned fields for cell block, date of birth if populated, race, held-for agency, release date, juvenile status, and hold reasons. Hold reasons can include charge text, statute, offense level, bond type, bond amount, a no-bond note, a set-by-judge note, or serving-time language.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| mugshot | Booking-photo image data shown on the roster when public. |
| name | Roster display name, usually in last-name-first format. |
| arrest_date | Arrest or booking date-time. |
| cell_block | Housing area such as MCCF pod labels, BOOKING, MEDICAL, or Offsite if populated. |
| held_for_agency | The agency for which the jail is holding the person, if populated. |
| hold_reasons | Charge, statute, bond, court-setting, sentence, or hold text. |
| is_juvenile | Juvenile status flag, with public display restricted by configuration. |
Marshall County Custody Lookup Channels
The roster is only one access channel. The sheriff's official contact page and FAQ route jail and warrant information through the non-emergency number at (574) 936-3187, press 2. In-person or mailed requests use 1400 Pioneer Drive, Plymouth, IN 46563. For court records, the Marshall County Clerk is a separate office. For state prisoners, the IDOC locator is separate from the county jail roster.
| Custody or Record Need | Where to Look | Use When |
|---|---|---|
| Current county jail custody | Marshall County CentralSquare roster | The person is held at Marshall County Jail today. |
| Phone confirmation | (574) 936-3187, press 2 | The roster is unclear or the person is newly booked. |
| State prison custody | IDOC offender locator | The person has been sentenced to Indiana prison. |
| Victim notification | Indiana VINE or Indiana SAVIN | Custody status alerts are needed. |
| Federal custody | BOP inmate locator | The person is in federal custody. |
| Immigration custody | ICE ODLS | The person is in ICE custody or transferred after a local hold. |
Marshall County Detention Facility
Only one local detention facility was resolved for Marshall County. The Marshall County Jail holds people arrested by the sheriff, Plymouth Police Department, Argos, Bourbon, Bremen, Culver, Lapaz, Indiana State Police, DNR, probation and parole, Community Corrections, and other agencies when the roster shows the hold. The same local jail may briefly show an ICE hold, but it is not an ICE detention facility.
- Marshall County Jail - county jail for pretrial detainees, local sentenced custody, probation or parole holds, other-agency holds, and current bookings.
Sentenced state prisoners from Marshall County are not counted as local jail inmates after transfer. They belong in the IDOC locator and may be housed at any Indiana Department of Correction adult facility, none of which was found physically inside Marshall County.
Marshall County Inmate Population FAQ
How large is the Marshall County inmate population? The official roster API returned 116 current records on June 12, 2026. A local April 2026 report listed 115 inmates as of May 1, an April average daily population of 117, and a reported 233-bed capacity.
Does the roster show released inmates? The Marshall County CentralSquare configuration is current-inmate oriented. No official release-retention window was found, so past booking records should be requested through the sheriff or checked through court records when charges were filed.
Are mugshots part of the Marshall County inmate population data? Yes for current county roster records when displayed. The Marshall County configuration includes mugshot as a visible column, but juveniles and restricted records are not ordinary public roster entries.
What if the person is not on the roster? Call the jail line, search Indiana SAVIN/VINE, check IDOC for sentenced prisoners, and use BOP or ICE when federal or immigration custody is possible.
