Ripley County Jail Roster and Inmate Search

The Ripley County Sheriff's Office operates the county jail and maintains custody records for all current detainees. The jail sits in Versailles, the county seat, and serves the full county. When someone is booked into the Ripley County Jail, staff enter their information into the jail management system. That data feeds into both the sheriff's own site and the statewide portal.

To search the Ripley County jail roster, visit the Ripley County Sheriff's Office website. From there you can look up inmates by name. The roster shows who is currently in custody, when they were booked, and what charges they face. Bond information may also appear depending on how far along their case has moved.

If you do not find someone on the sheriff's site, try the INjail Public Portal. This statewide system collects Ripley County jail roster data along with records from dozens of other Indiana jails. It can be useful if a person was recently transferred or if you want to confirm they are still in Ripley County custody versus another facility.

How to Find an Inmate in Ripley County

Start with the sheriff's website. Go to ripleycountysheriff.com and look for the inmate search or jail roster link. Enter a first or last name and the system will return any matching records. You do not need to know the exact charge or booking number to run a basic search.

If the person was charged and convicted, they may have been moved out of the Ripley County Jail and into state prison. Use the Indiana Department of Correction Offender Locator to find people held by the Indiana DOC. That system covers all state prison facilities and includes release date information when available.
