When someone you care about gets locked up, it's tough to figure out all the ins and outs of jail life. From sending mail to visiting, there are a lot of things to sort out. And getting info about the arrest? Not always easy. That's where this webpage comes in handy. It's here to help you get a handle on how things work here so that you can stay connected and support your loved one behind bars.
The Owen Co Jail is a detention center located at 291 Vandalia Ave Spencer, IN which is operated locally by the Owen County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Owen County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Spencer Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.
The Owen County Security Center, commonly referred to as the jail, serves as the primary detention facility for the county’s inmate population. Jail staff are responsible for ensuring security, supervising inmates, and maintaining the overall operations of the facility. These duties encompass inmate intake, medication distribution, monitoring inmates, facilitating visitation, and providing daily meals.
Individuals who do not post bail within the first twenty-four hours are required to appear before a judge. During this first appearance, conducted either in person or via telephone, the judge informs the arrested person of the charges against them and sets the bond amount.
Following the intake process, which includes property inventory, medical screening, and booking, inmates are assigned to the general population. Housing assignments are based on the classification of their charges, whether felony or misdemeanor, to ensure proper management and safety within the facility.
Books and magazines ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. The Jail enforces this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.
Commissary is available weekly, with orders submitted via kiosk two days in advance. On holidays, there may be increased spending limits. Upon receiving commissary items, inmates must present their ID, check their order, and sign for it in the presence of the commissary employee. Indigent inmates are provided with all essential basic hygiene items including USPS stamps and writing materials.
Inmate workers are selected for community service programs based on their demonstrated good conduct, cooperation with facility staff, and adherence to institutional rules. These criteria ensure that only individuals who exhibit responsibility, reliability, and a commitment to positive behavior are allowed to participate. Participation in these programs not only benefits the community through valuable labor contributions but also offers inmates the chance to develop a strong work ethic, learn transferable job skills, and build a sense of accountability.
In certain cases, involvement in community service programs can contribute to a reduction in an inmate's sentence. This incentive reinforces the importance of maintaining good behavior while incarcerated and highlights the program's dual role in supporting both the community and the inmate's journey toward reintegration.

Owen County Security Center Visitation Guidelines
The Owen County Security Center has established a comprehensive visitation policy to ensure a safe and orderly environment for all participants. Visitors must create an account and receive approval before being granted visitation privileges. Accounts can be created online at Homewav.com or through the kiosk located in the jail lobby. During the account setup process, visitors must upload clear, unaltered photos of their ID and face. Any filtered or unclear images will result in denial until compliant photos are provided.
Visits can be conducted online using smartphones, computers, tablets, or other devices with video camera capabilities, an internet connection, a microphone, and a speaker. Those without the required technology at home may use the visitation kiosks available in the jail lobby. Inmates are permitted unlimited online (at-home) visits but are limited to three visits per week when using lobby kiosks.
Clergy Note: Clergy accounts will not be approved. Clergy members must create regular visitor accounts to participate in visitation.
Visitors who are co-defendants of the inmate or who have an active no-contact order with the inmate are prohibited from visiting.
To maintain a secure and respectful environment, both inmates and visitors must adhere to the following rules:
Violations of these visitation rules will result in the immediate termination of the visit. Visitors and/or inmates who violate the rules may also lose future visitation privileges.
These guidelines are designed to facilitate meaningful connections between inmates and their loved ones while maintaining the safety and integrity of the facility. All participants are encouraged to adhere to these rules to ensure a smooth and respectful visitation experience.
