Terre Haute Jail Roster and Inmate Search

The Terre Haute jail roster shows current bookings at the Vigo County Jail, located at 600 W. Honey Creek Dr., Terre Haute, IN 47807. When Terre Haute Police Department officers make an arrest, the person is transported to this facility for processing and booking. Terre Haute is the county seat of Vigo County, so the jail is right in the city. You can search the roster online through the Vigo County Sheriff's website or through the statewide INjail portal, both free to use at any time.

Terre Haute Police Department

The Terre Haute Police Department is the main law enforcement agency for the city. The department states: "The mission of the Terre Haute Police Department is to protect and serve our community with integrity, professionalism, and respect." Officers patrol the city, respond to calls, and conduct investigations. When an arrest leads to jail booking, the person is taken to the Vigo County Jail. THPD does not run its own detention facility.

You can reach Terre Haute police at 812-238-1661 for non-emergency matters. The department's main page is at terrehaute.in.gov. The Vigo County Sheriff's Office operates the jail and handles booking, release, and custody questions. For information about someone in custody, contact the sheriff's office rather than the police department. More details about the jail are on the Vigo County page.

VINE Victim Notification

VINE, which stands for Victim Information and Notification Everyday, is available for tracking inmates at the Vigo County Jail. Register at VINELink.com or call 1-866-959-8463. The service is free. Once registered, you get an automated call or email when the person you are monitoring is released, moved, or has any other change in custody status. The system runs 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

VINE is most often used by crime victims who need to know when an offender is let out of custody, but the service is open to anyone. No fee applies, and you do not need to explain your reason for signing up. The Vigo County Jail reports changes to VINE in real time, so you should get a notification quickly after any status change at the facility.

Booking Records and Public Access

An arrest at the Vigo County Jail creates a public booking record that includes the person's name, date of birth, booking date, charges, bond, and booking number. Indiana law at IC 5-14-3 makes most of this information available to anyone who asks. No attorney or court order is needed to access basic adult booking data.

State jail regulations at 210 IAC 3-1-6 set rules for how jails must keep records. These apply to the Vigo County Jail and help make sure that what you see online is accurate and consistent with what the facility has on file. For records of people no longer in custody, submit a written public records request to the Vigo County Sheriff's Office. Requests must be answered within a reasonable time under Indiana law.

Some information may be withheld: active investigation details, juvenile records, and certain identifiers can be restricted. But the basic booking record for an adult is nearly always public.

The Vigo County Jail also provides visitation options. Video visits are available onsite Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 9 PM. Remote video visits cost $9.90 per 30-minute session. To send mail, address it to the inmate's full name and booking number at: Vigo County Jail, 600 W. Honey Creek Dr., Terre Haute, Indiana 47807. Include the booking number to make sure mail reaches the right person.

Additional Resources

The Indiana Department of Correction Offender Locator tracks people serving state sentences in IDOC facilities, which is separate from the county jail system. If someone does not appear in the Vigo County jail search, they may have been sentenced and transferred to a state prison. The locator is free to use and does not require an account. It covers all IDOC facilities in Indiana.

The INjail Public Portal is a statewide tool that covers multiple Indiana county jails at once. It is useful when you are not sure which county holds a person, or when you want to cross-check the Vigo County results. For Terre Haute searches, filter by Vigo County. Both IDOC and INjail are free public tools available to anyone without registration or fees.
