Jeffersonville Released Inmates Search

Jeffersonville sits in Clark County along the Ohio River, directly across from Louisville, Kentucky, and released inmates records for people arrested here are held by the Clark County Sheriff's Office. Clark County does not participate in the Indiana County Jail Public Portal, so most searches require direct contact with the sheriff's office or use of statewide notification tools. This page explains how to reach the Clark County jail, what state systems cover Jeffersonville released inmates, and how to access court records and criminal history information connected to local cases.

Clark County Sheriff and Jail - Released Inmates

The Clark County Sheriff's Office runs the county jail at 501 East Court Avenue, Jeffersonville, IN 47130. All arrests made in Jeffersonville result in bookings at this facility. Clark County does not use the Indiana County Jail Public Portal, so you cannot search Jeffersonville released inmates through that statewide tool. Instead, contact the Clark County Sheriff's Office directly. The main phone number is 812-283-4471. For tips, call 812-280-2276. Fax is 812-280-5608. Sheriff Scott A. Maples Jr. leads the department. The sheriff's website at clarkcosheriff.com provides additional contact details and department information.

Because Clark County does not have a live online inmate roster, calling the jail is the most reliable way to check whether someone is currently in custody or has been released. Staff can look up custody status by name and confirm release dates. If you are registering for ongoing notifications, VINE is the right tool to use rather than calling each day.

The screenshot below was taken from the Jeffersonville Police Department website, which is the city agency responsible for law enforcement activity that generates arrests entering the Clark County booking system.

The Jeffersonville Police Department is the primary agency making arrests in the city. Those arrests flow directly to the Clark County Jail at 501 East Court Avenue.

Under IC 36-2-13, the county sheriff holds legal responsibility for jail operations and all custody records. In Clark County, that means the sheriff's office is the official keeper of Jeffersonville released inmates data. If you need documented proof of a release, a written public records request to the sheriff's office is the proper channel.

Jeffersonville Police Department

The Jeffersonville Police Department is at 2218 E. 10th St., Jeffersonville, IN 47130. The main line is (812) 283-6633. Email goes to info@jeffersonvillepdin.gov. The department's website is at jeffersonvillepdin.gov. JPD handles all city law enforcement, and arrests made by city officers are processed through the Clark County Jail booking system. Incident reports from JPD become public records once a formal charge has been filed.

Jeffersonville is the largest city in Clark County and sits in the Louisville metropolitan area. The proximity to Louisville means the city shares a regional context with Kentucky law enforcement, but all Indiana-side arrests go through Clark County's jail and Indiana state courts. If someone was arrested by a Jeffersonville officer, their records are held in Indiana, not Kentucky, regardless of where they live.

For requests related to specific JPD incidents or arrests, contact the department directly by phone or email. Indiana's Access to Public Records Act at IC 5-14-3-3 governs what records the department must make available to the public. Most booking data is accessible once a person has been formally charged.

VINE and SAVIN Notifications for Jeffersonville

VINELink covers the Clark County Jail and lets you search for Jeffersonville released inmates or register for automatic alerts. Visit vinelink.vineapps.com and select Indiana to start a name-based search. If the person is in the Clark County system, their status will appear. You can register to receive a notification by phone, text, or email when their status changes, including a release. The toll-free VINE line at 866-959-8463 is available 24 hours a day if you prefer to use the phone.

Indiana SAVIN at indianasavin.in.gov provides the same notification capability and also covers state prison transfers. If someone arrested in Jeffersonville is sentenced and moved to an IDOC facility, SAVIN tracks that change. This makes SAVIN particularly useful if a person's case is still working through the courts, since their custody location can shift between the county jail and state facilities during that process.

Both VINE and SAVIN are free services. Neither requires you to explain why you are searching. Registration takes a few minutes online or by phone and can save a lot of time compared to calling the jail for updates every day.

Indiana Offender Locator - State Prison Releases

People convicted of felonies in Clark County courts may be sentenced to serve time at an Indiana state prison rather than the county jail. The Indiana Offender Locator covers all IDOC adult facilities statewide. Search by name to see if someone is currently in state custody or was recently released from a state prison. Results include the person's DOC number, facility assignment, sentence details, and projected release date. This database is completely separate from the Clark County Jail system.

IDOC operates facilities across the state, including Madison Correctional Facility in Madison, Indiana, which is geographically close to the Clark County area. If someone from Jeffersonville was sentenced to state prison, they could be at any IDOC facility depending on classification and bed availability. The Offender Locator will show wherever they are currently assigned.

For formal IDOC documentation, follow the records request process at in.gov/idoc/contact-us/records-request/offender-records. IDOC record rules under 210 IAC 3-1-6 cover what information must be disclosed and what can be protected. Basic released inmates data like facility location and release dates is generally public through the Offender Locator tool.

This tool lets you see what charges someone faced and what the court decided, which is useful context when looking at released inmates records.

Indiana's public records law at IC 5-14-3-4 identifies what records must be shared and what can be withheld. Standard jail records and court case data are generally public in Clark County. If the sheriff's office declines a request, Indiana's public access process gives you a path to appeal that decision.

Sex Offender Registry for Jeffersonville
