Floyd County, Indiana Inmate Search

To find an inmate currently held at the Floyd County Jail, 175 West Spring Street in New Albany, call the Floyd County Clerk’s Office directly — no county-owned online roster is publicly confirmed for Floyd County at this time. The jail houses pre-trial detainees, county-sentenced inmates, and state inmates. For court case records, Indiana’s statewide MyCase portal covers Floyd County filings.

How to find an inmate in Floyd County

Floyd County does not publish a confirmed public online jail roster. The Sheriff’s Department at 175 West Spring Street in New Albany is the primary path for custody inquiries. Call the Floyd County Clerk’s Office — see the Sources section for the confirmed line — to ask whether a specific person is currently in custody. Staff can confirm booking status, housing location, and whether a person has been released.

If you need court case information alongside custody status, use Indiana’s statewide MyCase portal. Search by last name or case number. MyCase covers Floyd County Circuit Court and both Superior Courts. For state prison inmates (as opposed to county jail), the Indiana Department of Correction offender search at Indiana DOC Offender / Incarcerated Locator is a separate tool covering IDOC-sentenced residents statewide.

What the roster does (and doesn’t) show

Booking lag is the most common reason a name doesn’t appear right away. After an arrest in Floyd County, a person must be transported to the jail at 175 West Spring Street, processed through intake, and entered into the booking system before any record becomes visible. That process takes time — especially overnight or on weekends when staffing levels differ from daytime hours. Calling the Sheriff’s Department is faster than waiting for a database to update.

Even when a roster or database is current, certain records won’t appear. Juvenile detainees are not listed on public rosters. Federal arrests go to federal custody and won’t show in county records at all. A person booked and released on a citation the same night may never appear in a searchable database. State-sentenced inmates transfer to Indiana Department of Correction facilities and drop off the county jail list once transferred. The MyCase portal shows court filings but not real-time custody status. Confirm numbers and hours before visiting or calling any facility.

If you’re reading this because someone was just booked tonight, the section below is for you.

If someone was just booked tonight

Call the Floyd County Clerk’s Office — (812) 948-5411 — for court records and hearing dates. Clerk and courthouse lines generally follow weekday business hours, so staff may not be able to confirm custody outside those hours to make that call.

Here’s what the booking-to-jail process looks like. After an arrest, the arresting officer transports the person to the Floyd County Jail at 175 West Spring Street in New Albany. Intake involves fingerprinting, photographing, and entering charges into the system. That whole sequence takes time — it’s not instant, and that’s normal. Calling the Sheriff’s line is more reliable than checking any database during this window.

Bond is not set at the moment of booking. In Indiana, bond is typically addressed at first appearance, which happens within 24 to 72 hours after booking. Calling tonight confirms whether the person is in custody and when first appearance is scheduled — not the bond amount itself. That part comes later.

Visitation won’t be available tonight. Visiting hours at the Floyd County Jail begin the following day at the earliest, and scheduling may apply. It’s a long night, and waiting is the hard part. Use the time to locate an attorney if needed — Indiana’s public defender locator is at Indiana Public Defender Council, and the Indiana Roll of Attorneys search is at Indiana Roll of Attorneys attorney directory.

Tomorrow morning, call the Floyd County Clerk’s Office — located on the second floor of the courthouse — for case filing information. The Clerk’s Office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (closed noon to 1:00 p.m. for lunch). Reach the courthouse at (812) 948-5411. That’s the confirmed number for courthouse inquiries. Attend the first appearance if you can — that’s when bond conditions are set and you’ll hear the charges formally.

If someone isn’t on the Floyd County County roster

Why might a name not appear in Floyd County records right now?

Booking lag is the most common explanation. If an arrest happened within the last several hours, the person may be in transport or still moving through intake at 175 West Spring Street. Call the Floyd County Clerk’s Office to confirm whether the person was booked or has already been released — that call resolves most “not found” situations faster than any database check.

• State prison transfer: If the person was sentenced to state time, they may have transferred to an Indiana Department of Correction facility. Search the IDOC offender lookup at Indiana DOC Offender / Incarcerated Locator.
• Already released: Bond may have been posted or the person released on their own recognizance before any online record updated. The Sheriff’s Department can confirm release.
• Neighboring county: An arrest near a county line — Clark, Harrison, or Washington County — may have resulted in booking at a different facility. Check those counties’ Sheriff offices directly.
• Federal custody: Federal arrests bypass county jail entirely. Federal detainees in Indiana are held at federal facilities and won’t appear in any county or state roster.
• VINELink notification: Register for automated custody-status alerts at Vinelink to receive notification when a person’s status changes, rather than checking manually.

For inmates in other counties or states

A nationwide records search may help fill gaps that local portals often leave — particularly when a person may be held in another Indiana county, a neighboring state, or federal custody that Floyd County records will never display. This third-party tool is designed to search across multiple jurisdictions and may surface records not visible in any single county roster.
