Floyd County Inmate Population

Floyd County is in southern Indiana directly across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky, with New Albany as the county seat. The Floyd County Sheriff manages the county jail and tracks the local inmate population for New Albany and all surrounding communities. You can check current custody data through Indiana VINE online or by contacting the sheriff's office directly. This page covers both approaches, what records Indiana law makes available, and links to nearby county resources.

Floyd County Sheriff's Office

Sheriff Frank Loop leads the Floyd County Sheriff's Office on Hauss Square in New Albany. The department manages the county jail and handles all bookings in Floyd County. The official page for the Floyd County Sheriff is maintained on the Indiana state government domain at in.gov. Floyd County does not currently operate a standalone public jail roster online, so the VINE system and direct phone contact are the primary options for inmate population searches in this county.

Calling (812) 948-5400 connects you to the sheriff's office. For a custody status question, ask to speak with the jail division. Staff can confirm whether someone is in custody, give a booking date, and tell you the charges on file. For formal record copies, submit a written request citing the Indiana Access to Public Records Act by mail to the Hauss Square address. Requests under APRA must be responded to within seven business days.

How to Find Floyd County Inmate Population Data

The main online tool for searching Floyd County inmate population data is Indiana SAVIN. This statewide system pulls data from county jail booking feeds and covers all 92 Indiana counties. Enter the person's full legal name to search. Results show current custody status, facility location, and in many cases the charges on file. No login or fee is required to run a search.

The Indiana County Jail Public Portal is another option. This aggregator platform pulls data from participating county jails and allows name-based searches across multiple counties at once. Floyd County's location near Louisville means some residents may have activity in both Indiana and Kentucky systems. If Indiana searches return nothing and you have reason to believe the person may be in Kentucky custody, that state's corrections system would need to be checked separately.

If neither Indiana portal returns results, call the sheriff at (812) 948-5400. A recent release, a name entered differently at booking, or a transfer to another county or state facility are the most common reasons for missing results. For people moved to Indiana state prison, the IDOC Offender Locator is the next step since county and state records are separate systems.

Indiana SAVIN and Statewide Inmate Search

Indiana SAVIN at indianasavin.in.gov is the state's central inmate population tracking system. It covers Floyd County and all other Indiana counties and connects to the national VINE platform. One of VINE's most useful features is the custody notification service. After finding someone in the system, you can sign up to receive free alerts when that person's custody status changes. Alerts go by phone, text, or email and registration takes only a few minutes.

The VINELink Indiana portal is the national version of the same system. Both are available 24 hours a day and return identical data. If someone in the Floyd County Jail is later transferred to a state facility, VINE continues to track them and will still send you notifications if you have registered. The service is free and not limited to victims or family members.

For state prison inmates, the IDOC Offender Locator is a separate tool that covers all Indiana Department of Correction facilities. If a VINE search returns no results for someone you believe is in Indiana custody, searching IDOC is a necessary next step. Together, VINE and IDOC cover the full range of Indiana custody situations.

Inmate Records in Floyd County

Indiana's Access to Public Records Act applies to jail booking records in Floyd County. Anyone can request records showing who was booked, when, on what charges, and their current status. The state rule 210 IAC 3-1-6 requires county jails to maintain these records and make them available under Indiana's public records framework.

Standard public information from a jail record includes the person's name, booking date and time, charges listed at booking, bond status, and housing location in the facility. Records that are not public include medical and mental health data, victim contact information, and materials tied to open investigations. For case outcomes such as convictions, plea deals, or sentences, contact the Floyd Superior or Circuit Court clerk. Those records are separate from the jail booking system and must be requested from the court.

Floyd County's location near the Ohio River and the Kentucky border can make some cases more complex, particularly for crimes that cross state lines. If you are working on a matter that involves both Indiana and Kentucky, the Floyd County clerk can help clarify which court has jurisdiction and where the relevant records are held. For purely Indiana-related records, the sheriff and the court clerk are the two main offices.
