Vigo County Sheriff Inmate Lookup

The Vigo County Sheriff's Office is located at 600 West Honey Creek Drive in Terre Haute and handles all bookings and inmate custody for the county. Sheriff John Plasse oversees the department, and the office can be reached by phone at (812) 462-3226 or by email at Sheriff@VigoSheriff.IN.Gov. The department maintains an online inmate lookup tool that makes it possible to check current custody status without calling or visiting in person.

The Vigo County inmate lookup portal is hosted on the official sheriff's website and updated on an ongoing basis. You can search by name to find individuals currently held at the Vigo County Jail. The tool provides basic custody details for active inmates and is one of the more accessible public-facing tools available from a mid-sized Indiana county.

For general inquiries or records that are not available through the online tool, you can contact the department directly. The office at vigosheriff.in.gov also lists information on jail services, visitation policies, and other inmate-related resources that are relevant if you are trying to reach someone in custody at the Vigo County facility.

The Vigo County Sheriff's Office website provides direct access to the inmate search tool as well as department news, staff contacts, and jail service information.

The site is maintained under the in.gov domain and reflects current department leadership, available services, and how to reach staff for booking-related inquiries.

The Vigo County inmate lookup tool lets you search active custody records by name and find who is currently held at the county jail.

Results show current inmates with basic booking details. This is the fastest way to check custody status for someone recently processed through the Vigo County Jail.

Indiana Statewide Resources for Booking Records

Indiana maintains several statewide tools that work alongside county-level searches. These are useful when you need to find someone who has been moved out of the Vigo County Jail and into another facility.

The Indiana Department of Correction Offender Locator tracks individuals who have been sentenced and transferred to a state prison. It is free to use and updated on a regular basis. If a booking at the Vigo County Jail led to a state sentence and transfer, this tool will show the current facility and status.

The IDOC Offender Locator database covers sentenced individuals held anywhere in the Indiana state prison system.

Use this tool as a follow-up when the Vigo County local search shows no record, which may mean the person was already transferred to a state facility after sentencing.

For court case information connected to a Vigo County arrest, the Indiana MyCase portal lets you search public filings by name. Case numbers, charges, court dates, and outcomes are available without a courthouse visit. This pairs well with the local inmate lookup for a more complete picture of where a case stands.

VINE Custody Alerts for Vigo County

Indiana's VINE service lets anyone register for alerts about custody changes at county jails statewide. Vigo County participates in VINE, so you can sign up to get a call, email, or text when a person's status changes at the Vigo County Jail. This includes release, transfer, or any other update to their custody record.

You can register at VINELink or by calling 1-866-959-VINE. The service is free and runs 24 hours a day. If you only need a single status check and do not want to sign up for alerts, you can still use the system to do a one-time lookup of current custody status for anyone held in Vigo County.

The VINE service runs around the clock and serves all participating Indiana counties, including Vigo County.

Alerts go out automatically when custody status changes, making VINE a useful tool for tracking someone across multiple facilities or monitoring a release date.

Note: The Vigo County Sheriff's Office can also be reached by email at Sheriff@VigoSheriff.IN.Gov for non-urgent booking inquiries that do not require an immediate phone response.
