What This Site Is For
Indiana makes many jail, arrest, and court records available to the public, but those records are not kept in one single database. Local jail custody, state prison custody, federal custody, immigration detention, and court files each use different record concepts. This site keeps those topics separated so Wells County readers can understand what type of record they are seeing.
What Readers Can Find
The pages here are arranged around the usual questions people ask after a Wells County arrest.
- Lookup help for jail inmate records, jail roster mugshots, and court records after a jail arrest.

- Plain-language explanations of the difference between county jail records, state prison records, and court case records.
