Daviess County Inmate Population Lookup

Daviess County is in southwestern Indiana with its county seat and jail in Washington. The Daviess County Sheriff's Office maintains an online inmate information page, and the Indiana VINE system provides a free statewide backup. Both options let you search the current Daviess County inmate population without calling the office. This page covers all search methods, explains what records are public, and links to nearby counties for broader searches.

Daviess County Sheriff's Office

Sheriff Gary Allison leads the Daviess County Sheriff's Office on NE 4th Street in Washington. The department manages the county jail and handles bookings across the entire county. The county government website includes both a directory page for the sheriff's office and a dedicated inmate information section that residents can use to look up current custody data without making a phone call.

The inmate information page at daviess.org is worth checking first for any current custody question. If the page does not show the person you are searching for, call the main office at (812) 254-1060 and ask to speak with the jail division. Staff can confirm custody status and give basic booking information. For formal record copies, send a written request to the address above and reference the Indiana Access to Public Records Act.

Daviess County Inmate Information Portal

The county's own inmate information page at daviess.org/205/Inmate-Information is the most direct starting point for an online search. This page is maintained by the county and reflects booking data from the sheriff's jail system. You can check it at any time without logging in or paying anything.

If the county page does not return results, switch to Indiana SAVIN as a backup. VINE is the statewide system and covers all 92 Indiana counties. A name-based search there will find anyone in county or state custody anywhere in Indiana, not just Daviess County. Results show custody status, facility, and charge information.

The Indiana County Jail Public Portal is a third option. This aggregator pulls roster data from participating county jails and makes them searchable together. For people who may have moved from county jail to a state prison, the IDOC Offender Locator is the right follow-up. County and state records are kept separately, so you may need to check both systems.

Indiana SAVIN and Statewide Inmate Search

Indiana SAVIN at indianasavin.in.gov is the state's centralized inmate population tracking platform. It covers Daviess County and every other county in Indiana. Built on the VINE network, it supports both search and automated notification. After locating a person in the system, you can register to be alerted when their custody status changes.

Notifications go out by phone call, text, or email, and the service is free. The VINELink Indiana portal is the national-facing version of the same system and provides identical results. Both options are available at any hour. For people in state prison rather than county jail, the IDOC Offender Locator is the right tool since those records are stored separately from VINE's county jail data.

The Indiana Sheriffs' Association at indianasheriffs.org has contact information for all Indiana county sheriffs. This is useful if you need general guidance on how jail records are handled statewide or need to reach an office other than Daviess County.

Inmate Records in Daviess County

Indiana's Access to Public Records Act covers jail booking records. Anyone can request basic inmate population data from the Daviess County Sheriff, including names, booking dates, charges, and custody status. The state rule 210 IAC 3-1-6 requires county jails to keep and share these records under a standard format.

Not all jail records are public. Medical data, victim information, and records tied to open criminal investigations are withheld. Conviction and sentencing records are held by the Daviess Circuit Court clerk, not the sheriff. If you need to know what happened with a case after the initial arrest, contact the court clerk's office. Those records are public but stored separately from jail booking data.

Jail records show arrests and current custody, not final legal outcomes. A booking on a charge is not a conviction. For a full picture of someone's legal situation in Daviess County, pair jail records from the sheriff with court records from the clerk. Both are available to the public under Indiana law, from two different county offices.
