Vigo County Jail and Terre Haute Booking Records
The Vigo County Sheriff's Office is at 600 W. Honey Creek Drive, Terre Haute, IN. Sheriff John Plasse leads the department, and the office phone is 812.462.3226. The Vigo County Jail at the same address holds all people arrested in Terre Haute and throughout Vigo County. There is no separate city jail. Every adult booking in Terre Haute goes to this facility.
When Terre Haute police or county deputies make an arrest, the person is transported to the jail for processing. Booking staff record the charges, take a photo, and log basic identifying information. The resulting booking record is public under Indiana law. It typically becomes searchable within a few hours of the arrest.
Terre Haute is the county seat, so the jail, courthouse, and sheriff's office are all located within the city. This makes it relatively easy to access records in person if an online search does not return the information you need.
The Indiana county jail portal at public.indianajail.gov is the main statewide tool for searching jail records across Indiana. The portal below is the starting point for finding Terre Haute and Vigo County inmate data.
The statewide jail portal is free, requires no account, and covers many Indiana counties including Vigo County.
How to Search Terre Haute Booking Releases
The Indiana county jail portal at public.indianajail.gov lets you search by name across multiple Indiana county jails. Start here if you need to check Vigo County inmate status quickly. The portal pulls from county jail systems and typically reflects current custody status.
The IDOC Offender Locator at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov covers people who have been sent to Indiana Department of Correction facilities after sentencing. If a Terre Haute arrest led to a felony conviction and a state prison term, the person will appear in the IDOC system. The DOC locator does not show local jail holds.
SAVIN at indianasavin.in.gov lets you check the current custody status of a person in the Indiana corrections system. You can also register for release or transfer notifications. This is useful if you need to track when someone is released from Vigo County Jail.
For court records related to Terre Haute arrests, search the Indiana courts portal at public.courts.in.gov. Vigo County Superior and Circuit Court filings are available by name search. This shows charges, hearing dates, and dispositions.
What Terre Haute Booking Records Include
A standard booking release record from Vigo County Jail will show the person's full name, the date and time of booking, a booking number, and the charges logged at intake. If bail was set, the bond amount appears in the record. The arresting agency is also listed, showing whether Terre Haute police or county deputies made the arrest.
Booking records do not include court outcomes. They document what happened at the time of arrest and booking, not what happened in court later. Use the courts portal for case outcome information.
Indiana's Access to Public Records Act covers your right to access these records. See Indiana Code Section 5-14-3-3 for details on what agencies must provide and how to make a formal request if needed.
Indiana Federal Detention in Terre Haute
Terre Haute is also home to federal correctional facilities, including the Federal Correctional Complex Terre Haute. These facilities hold federal inmates and are separate from the Vigo County Jail. Federal booking records are not part of the county system. If you need information on someone in a federal facility, contact the Bureau of Prisons directly or search the BOP inmate locator at bop.gov. Federal and county records are entirely separate systems.
