New Albany Released Inmates Search

New Albany released inmates are booked and processed through the Floyd County Sheriff's Office, which operates the county jail at 311 Hauss Square. New Albany sits directly across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky, and the Floyd County facility handles most arrests made by local police. This page covers how to look up current and recently released inmates from the Floyd County Jail, how to use Indiana state tools like VINE and the IDOC Offender Locator, and what court records are available for people connected to the New Albany area.

Floyd County Jail - New Albany Released Inmates

The Floyd County Sheriff's Department (FCSD) runs the jail that serves New Albany and all of Floyd County. The jail sits at 311 Hauss Square, New Albany, IN 47150, which is also the address of the New Albany Police Department. The two agencies share the same building, so arrests made by city police feed directly into the county booking system. The sheriff's main line is (812) 948-5406, which connects to an automated information system available 24 hours a day. Press option 2 to get inmate status information by phone.

For online searches, go to the FCSD inmate search page at fcsdin.com. You can look up people currently in custody and check recent releases. The search runs by name and pulls from the jail's live booking data. If you are not sure whether someone is still in custody or has been released, this is the right tool to check first. The site is free and does not require a login.

Floyd County falls under Floyd County's public records system. Indiana Code IC 36-2-13 places the responsibility for county jail operations and records on the sheriff. That means the FCSD holds the official custody records for everyone booked into the facility, including New Albany arrests.

The New Albany Police Department handles arrests within city limits. All bookings go to the Floyd County Jail, so the FCSD system is where released inmates records appear.

New Albany Police Department Records

The New Albany Police Department is located at 311 Hauss Square, Room 131, New Albany, IN 47150. For non-emergency calls, reach the communications line at 812-944-6411. The records division handles requests for incident reports and related documentation at 812-948-5304. You can also contact them by email at tbailey@napdin.net. Their website at cityofnewalbany.com/police has department contact information and service details.

When NAPD officers make an arrest, the person goes to the Floyd County Jail. From that point, the sheriff's records system takes over. NAPD can provide an incident report for the arrest itself, but the booking record, custody status, and release date all come from the Floyd County Sheriff's Office. If you need both the arrest report and the jail record, you may need to contact both agencies.

Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, found at IC 5-14-3-3, gives anyone the right to inspect public records held by New Albany city agencies. Arrest logs and incident reports are generally available. Some information tied to active investigations may be withheld under IC 5-14-3-4.

Indiana VINE and SAVIN - Inmate Release Notifications

Indiana VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) covers the Floyd County Jail and lets you sign up for automatic alerts. If someone you are tracking is released, transferred, or has a status change, you get notified by phone, text, or email. Register at VINELink for Indiana or call 866-959-8463. The service is free and available around the clock. You do not need to keep checking the jail roster manually once you are registered.

Indiana also runs its own system called Indiana SAVIN. It covers both county jails and Indiana Department of Correction facilities. If someone is convicted after a Floyd County arrest and sent to a state prison, SAVIN will continue to track their status. You can search by name, offender ID, or case number. Both VINE and SAVIN are free and do not require a reason for your search.

New Albany's location near Louisville means some residents may also have cases in Kentucky courts. VINE and SAVIN only cover Indiana facilities, so if someone has cases in both states you may need to check Kentucky's notification system separately for that portion of their record.

State Prison Records - IDOC Offender Locator

Some people arrested in New Albany are eventually sentenced to Indiana state prison rather than county jail time. Once they transfer to an IDOC facility, the Floyd County Jail record may no longer show them as active. For state prison records, use the Indiana Offender Locator at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov. Search by first and last name to see current facility assignment, projected release date, and supervision status. The tool is free and does not require registration.

If someone was recently released from IDOC, the Offender Locator will often still show their last facility and release date for some time after release. Under 210 IAC 3-1-6, the Department of Correction is required to maintain records about people in state custody, including release information. For formal documentation, submit a records request through the IDOC offender records page.

Court Records and Criminal History in New Albany

Floyd County courts handle criminal cases for New Albany residents. The Floyd County Circuit Court and Floyd County Superior Court both process criminal matters. You can search case filings, sentencing records, and case outcomes through Indiana Courts MyCase at public.courts.in.gov/mycase. The search is free and covers all Indiana courts, so you can check Floyd County cases by name or case number without visiting the courthouse.

For a certified criminal history report, the Indiana State Police offers a limited criminal history check. The cost is $16.32 if you submit online or $15 by mail through the ISP criminal history page. This report covers felony and misdemeanor arrests across Indiana and is based on name, date of birth, and identifying details. It is a more formal document than a jail portal search and draws from statewide arrest records.

The Indiana County Jail Public Portal at public.indianajail.gov covers multiple Indiana counties in one place. Floyd County may or may not feed into this portal at any given time, so check the direct FCSD inmate search first. The statewide portal is more useful when searching across several counties at once.

Additional Resources for Released Inmates in New Albany

The Indiana Sex Offender Registry at iCrimeWatch for Indiana shows registered sex offenders by county and city. Search Floyd County or New Albany specifically to see current registrants in the area. People convicted of qualifying sex offenses must register after release, and the registry updates when they register or change address. It is a separate tool from the jail inmate lookup.

If you need records from the Floyd County Clerk's office, court documents and filings for civil and criminal cases are kept there. Indiana's public records law gives you the right to inspect those records. The Floyd County Courthouse is at 311 Hauss Square, New Albany, IN 47150. Contact the clerk's office directly for documents not available online through MyCase. Some older records may only be available in person.

New Albany is the county seat of Floyd County, which means most county offices are right in town. That includes the sheriff, the courts, and the county clerk. If you need to make a request in person, all three are within a short distance of each other at the Hauss Square complex.
