Gibson County Jail New Facility Details
The Gibson County Jail moved into a new building in May 2025. The new facility at 119 E Brumfield Ave in Princeton houses the Sheriff's Office, the 911 Dispatch Center, and the County Jail all under one roof. This is an upgrade from the previous facility. The move improved conditions and brought all county public safety operations into one location.

Gibson County Jail Visitation and Inmate Contact
The Gibson County Jail handles visitation differently than many county jails in Indiana. All visits take place via video chat through inmatesales.com. There are no in-person visits in the traditional sense. The video visitation model is now common in newer facilities and allows visits to take place from home or from a kiosk at the jail without requiring physical contact or entry into the secure area.
Attorney visitation runs on a separate schedule. Attorney visits are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Attorneys should call ahead to arrange access. Legal visits are handled differently from general visitation and are not subject to the same platform or time restrictions.
If you have a general question about visiting someone on the Gibson County jail roster, check the sheriff's jail page or call the jail directly at 812-385-2018. Staff there can confirm current visitation schedules, tell you how to set up an account on the visitation platform, and answer questions about what's allowed.
Bond Information for the Gibson County Jail
If someone on the Gibson County jail roster has a bond set, you can pay it 24 hours a day. Walk into the jail lobby at 119 E Brumfield Ave, press the silver intercom box, and a jailer will assist you. Bond is accepted in cash (exact change only) or by credit card. The jail does not make change, so bring the right amount if you're paying cash.
The Gibson County Jail uses a structured bail schedule for common charges. A Class D Felony carries a standard bond of $7,500, with a 10% cash bond of $750. A Class A Misdemeanor is $6,500 full, or $650 at 10%. Class B Misdemeanor bonds are $5,500 full or $550 at 10%. Class C Misdemeanor bonds are $4,500 full or $450 at 10%. These are starting amounts and may be modified by a court order.
If you're not sure what bond applies to someone on the Gibson County jail roster, call 812-385-2018 and ask. Bond amounts can change after a court hearing. Always verify the current amount before making a payment trip to the jail.
VINE Custody Notifications for Gibson County
VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) tracks custody changes for inmates in the Gibson County Jail. When someone on the Gibson County jail roster is released, transferred, or has another custody event, registered users get an automatic alert. The service is free and open to anyone.
Sign up at VINELink or call 1-866-959-VINE (8463). You register by selecting the inmate you want to track and choosing your notification method, phone, text, or email. VINE runs around the clock. You don't have to check the jail roster manually every day once you're registered.
VINE is especially important for crime victims who need advance notice when an offender leaves custody. But others find it useful too. Family members, attorneys, and anyone with an interest in a specific case can register without needing to explain why. The notification system is designed to be simple and accessible to the general public.
State Inmate Search Tools for Gibson County
Beyond the county jail roster, two state tools help track people in Indiana custody at the state level. The first is the INjail Public Portal, which covers county jails including Gibson County. If the county's inmate lookup page isn't available, the INjail portal will still show current Gibson County roster data.
The second is the Indiana Department of Correction Offender Locator. This covers people who have been sentenced to state prison and transferred out of county custody. Once someone leaves the Gibson County jail roster and goes to IDOC, the county tool no longer tracks them. The IDOC offender locator does. It shows their current facility, projected release date, and other basic sentence information.
Indiana's public records rules under IC 5-14-3 make jail rosters publicly accessible. You don't need a special reason to look up the Gibson County jail roster, and no fee is required to view the basic booking information posted by the sheriff's office. This transparency is built into state law and applies to all Indiana county jails.
The INjail Public Portal gives public access to the Gibson County jail roster and other county jail rosters across Indiana. It's a state-maintained search tool that pulls live data from participating county jails and returns name-based results without any fee or login requirement.
