VINE and SAVIN - Inmate Notification Services

VINELink covers the Hendricks County Jail and gives you a way to sign up for automatic custody alerts. If someone you are watching is released, transferred, or has any status change, you receive a notification by phone, text, or email. Register at vinelink.vineapps.com or call 866-959-8463 any time of day. The service is free and does not require you to explain your reason for registering.

Indiana SAVIN at indianasavin.in.gov extends VINE coverage to include Indiana Department of Correction state prisons. If a person convicted after a Hendricks County case is sent to a state facility, SAVIN continues to track their status. You can search by name, offender number, or case number. Plainfield residents who need to track someone across both county and state custody can use SAVIN without switching between separate systems.

Indiana Offender Locator - State Facility Records

Some people arrested in Plainfield receive sentences that send them to an Indiana Department of Correction facility rather than a county jail. Plainfield actually has two IDOC facilities nearby: the Plainfield Correctional Facility at 727 Moon Road and the Heritage Trail Correctional Facility at 501 W. Main Street. These are state-run facilities separate from the county jail system. People held there appear in the Indiana Offender Locator rather than the county portal.

The Offender Locator searches by name and shows current facility assignment, sentence information, and projected release dates for people in IDOC custody. It also includes recently released individuals for some period after their release date. The tool is free. Under 210 IAC 3-1-6, IDOC must maintain and release certain custody and release information to the public. For formal documentation, use the IDOC offender records request page.

The Indiana State Police limited criminal history check is available at the ISP criminal history page. The cost is $16.32 online or $15 by mail.
