Under Indiana Code 36-2-13, the Harrison County Sheriff holds legal responsibility for all jail operations and inmate records. Released inmates records created by the jail are part of the county's official public record. The sheriff is the authoritative source for local custody data.

Inmate Search for Harrison County Released Inmates

Harrison County released inmates records are accessible through the Indiana VINE system. VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) connects to the jail's booking data and updates as people are booked or released. You do not need an account to run a basic search. The system is available around the clock.

To search, go to vinelink.vineapps.com and pick Indiana. Enter the person's name. If they are in the Harrison County Jail, their custody status will appear. If they were recently released, a release date may show. You can also call 866-959-8463 at any time for a phone lookup. That line is free and works the same as the online portal.

State Inmate Database and IDOC Records

Not all Harrison County criminal cases end at the local jail. Felony convictions can result in a person being sent to an Indiana Department of Correction facility. The Indiana Offender Locator lets you search by name for anyone currently in state prison or recently released from IDOC custody. That search is separate from the county jail system and covers facilities across Indiana.

Harrison County sits near the Kentucky border, and the IDOC occasionally places southern Indiana inmates in facilities well north of the county. The Offender Locator covers all IDOC facilities, so you do not need to know which prison to search. If a person appears in the system, you will see their current location and sentence information. For formal IDOC records on a released inmate, go to in.gov/idoc to submit a written request.

Court Records and Criminal History

Released inmates in Harrison County may have court records tied to the same case that led to their jail stay. Indiana Courts MyCase covers Harrison County Circuit and Superior Courts. Search by name to see charges, filings, hearings, and final dispositions. MyCase is free and does not require a login for basic searches.

For a formal criminal history report, the Indiana State Police offers a limited history search for $16.32 online or $15 by mail. Visit in.gov/isp to start that process. The report covers arrests and dispositions from courts across Indiana, not just Harrison County. It is more thorough than a jail portal search but takes longer to receive.

Indiana's public records statute at IC 5-14-3-3 gives any person the right to request and inspect most public records held by the Harrison County Sheriff or court clerk. Jail logs and booking sheets are generally available. Some records may be withheld under the exemptions listed at IC 5-14-3-4, such as active investigation details or certain victim information.

VINE Notification and SAVIN

If you want ongoing alerts tied to a person in Harrison County custody, VINE lets you register for automatic notifications. When that person is released, transferred, or if their status changes, you get an alert by phone, text, or email. Sign up at vinelink.vineapps.com or call 866-959-8463. The service is free and does not require you to explain why you are registering.

Indiana also has a SAVIN system (Statewide Automated Victim Information and Notification) at indianasavin.in.gov. SAVIN covers both county jails and state prisons. If someone moves from the Harrison County Jail to IDOC after sentencing, SAVIN tracks that transition and keeps your alert active. It is especially useful for cases that go through multiple stages of the court system.

Sex Offender Registry

Released inmates from Harrison County who were convicted of qualifying sex offenses must register with local law enforcement. The Indiana Sex Offender Registry at icrimewatch.net/indiana.php is the public database. You can search by name, county, or ZIP code. Harrison County registrants appear with current address, conviction information, and a photo where available. The registry is maintained and updated regularly as new registrations come in or existing addresses change.

Requesting Records Directly

If you need a formal copy of a jail record from Harrison County, such as a booking log or release sheet, you can submit a public records request. Indiana's access law applies. Your request should include the person's full name and approximate dates of custody to help staff find the right record. Submit written requests to the Harrison County Sheriff's Office, 1445 Gardner Lane NW, Suite 1000, Corydon, IN 47112. You can also email nick.smith@harrisoncounty.in.gov or call (812) 738-2195 first to ask about the process.
