The Vigo County jail roster lists all people currently held at the Vigo County Jail in Terre Haute and is maintained by the Vigo County Sheriff's Office. You can search the roster through the sheriff's website at vigosheriff.in.gov or through the statewide INjail Public Portal. This page covers how to find current inmates, what the roster shows, how to use VINE alerts, and what rules apply to visiting and sending mail to people held at the Vigo County Jail.

Vigo County Sheriff's Office and Jail

The Vigo County Sheriff's Office is the agency responsible for operating the county jail and maintaining the inmate roster. The main office is located at 201 Cherry St. in Terre Haute. The jail facility itself sits at a separate address: 600 W. Honey Creek Dr., Terre Haute, IN 47807. If you need to reach staff for a jail-related question, call 812-462-3221.

The Vigo County Jail houses people who are awaiting trial, serving short sentences, or being held on other county matters. The sheriff's office posts the current roster online so the public can check custody status without having to call or visit in person. A third-party resource, vigocountyjailin.org, also aggregates booking data from the county and can be a useful backup when the main site is slow to load.

The INjail Public Portal provides access to the Vigo County jail roster alongside other Indiana county jails.

Use the INjail portal to search for Vigo County inmates by name when the county's direct site is unavailable.

How to Search the Vigo County Jail Roster

The Vigo County Sheriff's Office hosts an inmate search tool at vigosheriff.in.gov. From there you can look up current inmates by name and see their booking status. The roster is updated daily and reflects who is in custody at the Vigo County Jail. This is the most direct source for Vigo County bookings.

The state also runs the INjail Public Portal, which pulls data from participating county jails across Indiana. Vigo County takes part in this system, so you can search by name there as well. INjail is a good backup option if the county's own site is down or if you want to check multiple counties at the same time. Both tools are free and do not require a login.

A third resource worth checking is vigocountyjailin.org, which aggregates booking records for Vigo County. The site may show slightly older data than the official sheriff portal, but it can be useful if you need a quick name check. Always confirm findings with the official sources before acting on the information.

Search results typically include the inmate's full name, booking date, charges listed at the time of arrest, and current custody status. Mugshot availability depends on how the county configures its display. If you cannot find someone, they may have been released or transferred to a state facility.

VINE Victim Notification for Vigo County Inmates

VINE stands for Victim Information and Notification Everyday. It is a free service that lets people sign up to get automatic alerts when an inmate's status changes. If someone in Vigo County is released, transferred, or has a court date update, VINE will send a notification to registered users by phone, email, or text.

You do not have to be a victim to use VINE. Anyone can register. To sign up, visit vinelink.com and search for Vigo County. You can also call 1-866-959-VINE (8463) to register by phone or to check status by voice. The phone line is available around the clock.

VINE is run through a state and county partnership and covers most Indiana county jails. It is one of the most reliable ways to stay informed about an inmate's custody situation without having to call the jail repeatedly. The service is free regardless of how you use it.

Vigo County Jail Booking Records and Public Access

Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, found at IC 5-14-3, gives the public the right to inspect government records including booking logs and jail rosters. Vigo County jail records are generally public under this law. If the information you need is not posted online, you can submit a written request to the Vigo County Sheriff's Office and the agency must respond within seven days.

Jail administrative standards are governed by 210 IAC 3-1-6, which sets out what records jails are required to keep, how they must be organized, and how long they must be retained. This includes booking logs and inmate files. If your request is denied, the agency must give a reason tied to a specific exemption listed in Indiana law. Some records can be withheld, including certain information about ongoing investigations and juvenile matters.

The online roster shows current inmates only. People who have been released or transferred will not show up. For older records, a formal written request to the sheriff's office is your best path.

Visiting, Mail, and Phone Access at the Vigo County Jail

The Vigo County Jail offers both onsite and remote video visitation. Onsite visits are available Monday through Friday from 8AM to 9PM. Remote video visits can be scheduled from outside the facility. Remote sessions cost $9.90 for a 30-minute session. Check the jail's website or call 812-462-3221 to confirm current scheduling rules before you plan a visit, since hours and procedures can change.

Mail sent to inmates at the Vigo County Jail must include the inmate's full name and booking number. Use this format for the address: (INMATE'S NAME and BOOKING NUMBER), Vigo County Jail, 600 W. Honey Creek Dr., Terre Haute, Indiana 47807. Mail without a booking number may be delayed or returned. Do not send cash, food, or restricted items through the mail. Check with the jail for the current approved list of what can be sent.

Phone calls are available to inmates through the jail's contracted phone system. Rates and setup procedures vary. Friends and family can usually set up an account online to fund calls. Ask the jail for the current vendor name and instructions if you are not sure how to get started.

Additional Vigo County Jail Lookup Resources

If someone has been moved out of the Vigo County Jail and into state custody, the Indiana Department of Correction maintains a separate search tool. The IDOC Offender Locator at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov covers people held in state prisons and correctional facilities. This tool does not show county jail inmates. If you cannot find a name on the Vigo County roster, checking IDOC is a useful next step.

The IDOC locator is free and open to the public. It shows current facility location, projected release dates, and sentence information for people in state custody. People sentenced to more than a year in Indiana typically serve their time in a state facility rather than a county jail. The distinction matters when you are trying to figure out where someone is being held.

For court records related to Vigo County cases, Indiana's mycase.in.gov portal provides public access to court filings, hearing dates, and case summaries. Court records are separate from the jail roster but can give you more context about a person's charges and case status. Both systems are free and accessible without an account for most public case information.
