Find Inmates in Jasper Through the Dubois County Jail Roster

The Jasper jail roster covers people currently in custody at the Dubois County Jail after an arrest by Jasper city police or Dubois County deputies. Jasper is the county seat of Dubois County, and all adult arrests within city limits result in booking at the county facility. Dubois County uses the statewide INjail Public Portal to publish its inmate roster online. You can search by name at no cost, without any login, and get results that include charges, bond, and booking date for each person currently held at the jail.

Jasper Police Department

The Jasper Police Department handles law enforcement inside the city. Officers respond to calls, investigate crimes, and make arrests throughout Jasper. When someone is arrested by city police, they are taken to the Dubois County Jail for booking. Jasper does not operate its own detention facility. Anyone held beyond a brief initial detainment goes through the county system, and the Dubois County roster reflects those bookings.

The Dubois County Sheriff's Office runs the jail and is the right agency to contact if you are trying to locate someone who was recently arrested in Jasper. The sheriff's office manages both the booking process and the inmate roster. Because Jasper PD and the county sheriff both send arrestees to the same facility, a single search of the Dubois County roster covers arrests from both agencies. You do not need to contact city police separately to confirm a booking.

Criminal cases from Jasper arrests go through Dubois Circuit Court or Dubois Superior Court. After charges are filed, case details and court dates become available through Indiana's public access portal at mycase.in.gov. The court system is separate from the jail roster. The roster shows current custody status. Court records show what charges were filed and what happened at each hearing. Both are public. The Dubois County page on this site has jail contact information and links to local court resources.

Jasper Jail Roster Search

Dubois County uses the statewide INjail Public Portal as its primary inmate search tool. To find someone booked at the Dubois County Jail, go to public.indianajail.gov and select Dubois County from the county list. The portal shows current inmates by name and includes booking date, listed charges, bond information, and current housing status. The search is free and no account is required.

INjail pulls data directly from participating county jail systems across Indiana. Because Dubois County participates, the portal reflects real-time bookings as they occur. If someone was just arrested, it may take a short time for their record to appear after the booking is processed. If you do not find someone right away, wait an hour or two and search again. You can also call the Dubois County Jail directly to confirm whether a booking is in progress.

For more local detail about the Dubois County Sheriff's Office, including contact information, the jail address, and any county-specific resources, visit the Dubois County page on this site. That page also links to additional search tools and has information about the local court system for anyone tracking a case from arrest through sentencing.

VINE: Alerts for Dubois County Jail Status Changes

VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) is a free service that sends automatic alerts when an inmate at the Dubois County Jail is released, transferred, or has any change in status. You can register for phone, text, or email notifications. VINE is open to any member of the public. There is no cost to sign up and no requirement to show you are a crime victim or have a legal connection to a case.

The image below shows the INjail county selection page at public.indianajail.gov/counties, where you can choose Dubois County to access the live jail roster for the Jasper area.

INjail gives you a snapshot of who is in custody right now. VINE gives you ongoing alerts as that status changes. Using both together is the most complete approach. If you are trying to track when a specific inmate gets released, registering with VINE means you get notified automatically rather than having to check the roster repeatedly. Call the VINE line at 1-866-959-8463 to verify custody status by phone at any hour, or visit VINELink.com to sign up for notifications online.

Booking Records and Public Access

When someone is arrested in Jasper and booked into the Dubois County Jail, a public record is created. That record contains the person's name, date of birth, booking date, listed charges, bond amount, and booking number. Indiana's Access to Public Records Act at IC 5-14-3 makes this information publicly available. No attorney, court order, or special status is needed to access basic booking information from a county jail.

Indiana administrative rules at 210 IAC 3-1-6 define how county jails must maintain and report booking records. The Dubois County Jail operates under these state standards. If you need booking data from a past date that is no longer visible in the online portal, you can submit a written public records request to the Dubois County Sheriff's Office. The office must respond within a reasonable time under Indiana law.

Some information is withheld by law. Juvenile arrests are sealed. Ongoing investigations can limit disclosures. Social security numbers and certain personal identifiers are excluded from public records. For most adult bookings, the core record is accessible. If you need certified copies or want information about how a case was resolved, contact the Dubois County Clerk of Courts for official court documents.

Additional Resources

The Indiana Department of Correction Offender Locator is useful when someone has left the county jail and entered the state prison system. After sentencing, a person may be transferred from the Dubois County Jail to an IDOC facility. The IDOC locator is free, searchable by name or offender ID, and covers all state prisons, work release centers, and community corrections sites in Indiana. It updates regularly and does not require any login.

The INjail Public Portal covers participating county jails across Indiana and is the main search tool for Dubois County. You can also use INjail to check neighboring counties such as Pike, Spencer, Perry, or Crawford if you are not certain where a person was booked. No fee applies and no account is needed. Between INjail, the IDOC locator, and VINE, you have three free tools that cover everything from initial booking through state-level incarceration and release notifications.
