Greene County Quick Facts
Greene County Sheriff's Office
The Greene County Sheriff's Office in Bloomfield manages the county jail and all custody matters for the county. The office is the right place to call if you need to confirm whether someone is in custody, ask about booking dates, or find out what charges are on file. Staff can answer basic questions during regular business hours. For written records requests, send them to the office address.

Having the person's full legal name ready makes the call go faster. Written requests for records should include the name, approximate booking date, and what type of record you are asking for.

Search Greene County Inmate Population
Greene County does not have a standalone public jail roster online. The best way to search the Greene County inmate population is through the Indiana VINE system, which pulls live data directly from the county jail. VINE is free, available around the clock, and does not require registration to run a basic search.
Head to the Indiana SAVIN offender search page and type in the person's first and last name. If they are in the Greene County jail, you will see their custody status, the facility name, and a case number in most cases. If SAVIN returns no result, call the sheriff's office at (812) 384-4122 to ask staff directly.
The Indiana County Jail Public Portal is also worth checking. It pulls roster data from counties that feed into the statewide system and can catch records that do not appear in VINE right away. For someone who may have been moved to a state prison, check the IDOC Offender Locator as a separate step.
Indiana SAVIN and Statewide Inmate Population Tools
Indiana SAVIN is the state's central system for tracking the inmate population at county jails and state prisons alike. It runs continuously and links to the national VINE network, which is active 24 hours a day. Greene County participates in SAVIN, meaning booking data from the Bloomfield jail feeds into the system automatically after someone is processed.
Beyond searching, VINE offers free notification alerts. Once you locate a person through a VINE search, you can register to receive automatic alerts any time their custody status changes. Alerts go by phone, text, or email and cover releases, transfers, and court-ordered changes. Register at the VINELink Indiana portal. No fee is charged for this service.
Greene County is in south-central Indiana and neighbors Monroe, Owen, Clay, and Sullivan counties. Bloomington, which is in Monroe County, is sometimes confused with Bloomfield, the Greene County seat. If you are searching for someone in that area and SAVIN returns nothing in Greene County, check Monroe County's records as a follow-up step. Both counties are searchable through the same statewide VINE interface.

Standard inmate population records are not restricted, though records tied to active investigations or involving juveniles may be withheld in specific cases.
Under 210 IAC 3-1-6, Indiana county jails must maintain specific records for each person in custody.
