Vigo County Jail Roster Overview
The Vigo County Sheriff's Office jail page links users to an inmate lookup for the Vigo County Jail. The direct sheriff-linked JailTracker route is the first official local channel, but it did not fully render during research. It showed "Roster Loading..." and then an application error. That does not make the roster unofficial or unusable in every browser. It does mean the access plan should include the Indiana County Jail Public Portal and the jail phone line.
Vigo County Jail records cover county custody. They do not cover all incarcerated people in Terre Haute. FCI Terre Haute and USP Terre Haute are federal prisons searched through BOP. A person sentenced to an Indiana Department of Correction prison after a Vigo County case is searched through IDOC. ICE custody uses ODLS. Indiana VINE can send custody and criminal-case notifications, but it is not a full records database.
The sheriff homepage is also a records fallback because it includes Agency Records & Reports, Accident Reports, Background Checks, File a Police Report, Jail Information, and VINE service links. A dedicated public-record request form for booking records was not found in the inspected pages, so callers may need to ask the Sheriff's Office which records channel handles the specific request.
Use the Vigo County Roster
A practical Vigo County inmate lookup starts with the name and then checks the right custody system. The county roster and INjail portal are best for people recently booked into the Vigo County Jail. MyCase is better for filed court charges. IDOC is the state prison system. BOP is the federal prison system that covers the Terre Haute federal complex.
- Open the sheriff jail page and choose the inmate lookup link.
- If JailTracker loads, search with the fields shown there and open the inmate profile.
- If JailTracker errors, open Indiana's public county jail portal and search by last name.
- Set the county filter to Vigo when available, then add first name or birth date to narrow results.
- Use booked-between for new bookings and released-between for people who may have left recently.
- Open the view link and compare the booking date, arresting agency, holds, cases, and release field.
- Call (812) 462-3226 if the online search does not confirm current custody.
Note: The public portal confirmed Vigo County through FIPS 18167 and code 84, but API search endpoints required a captcha token during research.
Vigo County Roster Search Fields
The INjail search form accepts multiple filters. A last name alone can work, but common names are easier to sort with a first name or birth date. Booking and release date windows help when the person was arrested recently or may already be out of custody.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | Optional, but one search value required | Maximum length 50; alpha-only entry in app markup. |
| First Name | Text | Optional | Useful for narrowing common last names. |
| Birth Date | Date picker | Optional | Placeholder uses m/d/yyyy format. |
| County | Dropdown | Optional | Use Vigo when searching from the statewide portal. |
| Booked Between | Date range picker | Optional | Includes Today, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, This Month, and Last Month. |
| Released Between | Date range picker | Optional | Includes recent release windows such as Last 7 days and Last 30 days. |
The capture set includes the Indiana County Jail Public Portal, which is the main fallback when the Vigo County JailTracker page does not load.
The portal is useful because it searches county jail records rather than court dockets or prison records, which keeps the first step focused on current or recent jail custody.
Vigo County Inmate Profile Fields
A Vigo County inmate record can show identity details, custody dates, arrest information, and linked cases or holds. The exact fields depend on the source system and whether a record is current, released, or limited by the portal. The research inventory came from INjail component fields because a live Vigo detail could not be opened without the portal's captcha token.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Full inmate name displayed in the public result or detail view. |
| INjail ID | State portal identifier tied to the public jail record. |
| Booking # | Jail booking number, with exact Vigo format not visible during research. |
| Booked On and Arrest Date | Date of jail booking and arrest date when posted. |
| Arresting Agency and Officer | Agency and officer fields if populated in the public detail. |
| Race, ethnicity, sex, age, height, and weight | Demographic and descriptor fields displayed by the portal layout. |
| Released On | Release date when the person is no longer held under that record. |
| Holds and Cases | Other custody reasons or court-linked case entries when populated. |
| Mugshot | The portal includes a public inmate photo component, but photo display depends on the record. |
Vigo County Jail vs Prison
The most common lookup error in Vigo County is using the county jail roster for someone who is no longer in county custody. The local roster is for pretrial detainees, people awaiting sentencing, and some local sentences. The state locator is for sentenced Indiana prisoners. The BOP locator is for federal prisoners, including people at the Terre Haute federal complex.
| Custody | Where to Look | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Vigo County Jail | Sheriff lookup or INjail | Local arrest, pretrial hold, local sentence, or recent county release. |
| Indiana state prison | IDOC locator | Sentenced state prisoner after conviction and transfer. |
| Federal prison | BOP locator | Federal sentenced inmate at FCI Terre Haute, USP Terre Haute, or another BOP site. |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | ICE detainee search by A-number/country or biographical data. |
Vigo County contains federal prisons, but they are not county jail facilities. A BOP result can show a Terre Haute location while the person has no current Vigo County Jail roster entry.
Vigo County Jail Facilities
The facility map gives four Vigo County custody pages. Only the Vigo County Jail is the main local booking jail for new arrests. Community Corrections is a work-release and supervision program. FCI Terre Haute and USP Terre Haute are federal prisons, so their inmate records come from BOP rather than the sheriff roster.

Booking Process in Vigo County
Vigo-specific intake steps were not published as a full public workflow, but the available record fields and jail service pages show the basic path. After arrest or warrant service, a person is transported to the Vigo County Jail, identified, searched, booked, photographed where applicable, screened, classified, and assigned housing. The roster record may include arrest date, booked-on date, booking number, arresting agency, holds, and cases.
The medical page confirms licensed medical provider coverage, physicians and registered nurses, daily sick call, and emergency care around the clock at a local hospital. It also lists a $15 co-pay for doctor visits, nurse sick calls, medication co-pay, and dental visits. Property releases must be requested by the inmate through the kiosk and can be made only one time, with valid photo ID required for pickup.
Vigo County Visitation Rules
Vigo County Jail uses video visitation. The sheriff visitation page describes scheduling through the InmateSales app, including access requests for the facility and inmate, policy review, upcoming visits, and remote visit completion through InmateSales-View. Both onsite and remote visits must be scheduled at least 24 hours ahead.
| Visit Type | Scheduling / Rule | Source Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Onsite video | Schedule through InmateSales; eligible inmates receive one free onsite visit each week. | Must be scheduled onsite or in person. |
| Remote video | Use Remote Video Visitation and InmateSales-View. | App store redirect appears if the app is missing. |
| Scheduling deadline | At least 24 hours before the visit. | Applies to onsite and remote visits. |
| Monitoring | All visits are monitored and recorded. | Applies to all communication and visitation. |
| Prohibited items | No recording devices, cell phones, or cameras in the visitation area. | Official jail visitation rule. |
The Vigo jail visitation screenshot comes from the official visitation page.
Those rules are tied to jail contact after the record is found, especially when a family member needs to schedule video access before traveling.
Mail and Money for Vigo Inmates
Mail to the Vigo County Jail must include the inmate's name and booking number, the jail name, and the Honey Creek Drive address. The sheriff mail page says mail is checked for contraband but not censored. Restricted items cause the entire letter to be returned, and the jail does not accept packages or dropped-off items.
| Service | Vigo County Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail address format | Inmate name and booking number, Vigo County Jail, 600 West Honey Creek Drive, Terre Haute, Indiana 47802. |
| Mail scanning | All inmate mail is scanned into inmate kiosks and physical letters are placed in property. |
| Deposit kiosk | Cash, debit card, or credit card at the jail lobby kiosk. |
| Phone deposit | 1-877-998-5678. |
| Online deposit | deposits.jailatm.com; sheriff topic pages also name Inmate Sales and Jail ATM. |
Confirm custody before sending money. A person transferred to IDOC, BOP, or another jail may need a different deposit system.
Vigo Records Request Fallbacks
When the roster fails or a released record is not visible, use a focused records path. For jail custody questions, call the Sheriff's Office and ask for jail or records direction. For court copies after charges are filed, the Vigo County Court Records page says records requests should be made by calling (812) 231-4499. Indiana APRA requests should identify the person, date, booking number or case number if known, and the exact record type.
APRA does not guarantee every record will be released. Confidential records, juvenile records, medical information, and some investigatory law-enforcement material may be withheld. A narrow request for a booking record, public daily-log entry, or court copy is easier for an office to route than a broad demand for every document connected to an arrest.
Vigo County VINE Notifications
The sheriff links Indiana VINE for custody and criminal-case notification. VINE is useful after a record is found because it can send updates about custody status. It should not be treated as a replacement for the jail roster, MyCase, IDOC, or BOP because it is built for notification rather than full records review.
The capture set includes the Indiana VINE landing page.
VINE helps track changes after an initial lookup, especially for release or case-status alerts that may occur after a booking record first appears.
