How to Search the Orange County Jail Roster

Results typically include the person's booking date, charges, and other available custody information. The Orange County jail roster updates as people are booked and released. Check the list and scroll or search to find the person you're looking for.
If the county site is unavailable or the person doesn't appear in the Orange County roster, use the INjail Public Portal. INjail covers most Indiana county jails in one free statewide search. It's run by the Indiana Sheriff's Association and doesn't require any login. Enter the name and select Orange County, or leave the county blank to search all participating counties at once.
People sentenced to more than a year in Indiana typically go to a state prison, not a county jail. Use the Indiana Department of Correction Offender Locator to find anyone in state custody.

VINE Custody Alerts for Orange County
Orange County participates in the VINE program. VINE -- Victim Information and Notification Everyday -- is free and open to anyone who wants to track an inmate's custody status. Register at VINELink or call 1-866-959-VINE (8463). You can set up alerts by phone call, text, or email. VINE monitors custody around the clock. It sends a notification when an inmate at the Orange County Jail is released, transferred, or has any other status change.
You don't have to be a crime victim to use VINE. Families, attorneys, and others tracking someone in custody can all register. The service removes the need to call the jail to check status manually. Once you register, VINE handles the monitoring automatically.
Orange County Jail Booking Records
Booking records at the Orange County Jail include the person's name, date of birth, booking date and time, charges, the arresting agency, and bond information when it's available. These records make up the Orange County jail roster and are public under Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, IC 5-14-3. Basic booking data is open without a formal request. If you need past records or data about released inmates, contact the Orange County Sheriff's Department in writing.
A booking record reflects an arrest, not a conviction. The Orange County Circuit Court and Orange County Superior Court handle the actual court proceedings. Jail records and court case records are separate. For case filings, verdicts, or sentencing details in Orange County cases, contact the court clerk's office in Paoli.
Indiana's jail record standards under 210 IAC 3-1-6 apply to the Orange County Jail and define what must be documented, how long records must be kept, and what fields are required in each booking record. These standards apply statewide and help keep inmate data accurate across all 92 Indiana counties.
