Start With Floyd County Jail Records
Floyd County does not publish a simple sheriff-hosted public jail roster page in the official jail information material. The practical first stop is the Floyd County Jail automated information system, called AIS in the sheriff FAQ. Call AIS at 812-948-5406 and choose option #2 for information about an incarcerated person. For bond procedures and other jail questions, the Floyd County Sheriff's Department lists Corrections at 812-948-5404. Sheriff Steve Bush's office also points people to the MobilePatrol app as an inmate-information channel, which matters because the county website itself does not display a live roster list.
The Floyd County inmate records path should stay tied to the level of custody. The Floyd County Jail handles pretrial detainees, county-sentenced inmates, state offenders, and federal offenders held locally. Once a person is sentenced and moved into Indiana Department of Correction custody, the county jail phone line may no longer be the best source. Federal and immigration custody have separate systems. For filed charges and future court dates, use MyCase and the Clerk, not a jail roster. For the court side of a booking, see the Floyd County court records after jail arrest page.
Use Floyd County Jail AIS
The Floyd County Jail AIS chain is the most direct local lookup method found in official county sources. It is useful for current custody status, bond information, and basic booking questions when no county roster link is available. Have the person's full legal name ready before calling. A date of birth, rough booking date, arresting agency, or court cause number can help staff or the phone system separate people with similar names.
- Call Floyd County Jail AIS at 812-948-5406.
- Choose option #2 for information about an incarcerated individual.
- Use the person's full legal name, and add a date of birth or booking date if known.
- For bond procedure questions, call Corrections at 812-948-5404 or use the Clerk during business hours.
- If the arrest just happened, check again after the next court assignment cycle because new arrestees attend court on the following business day.
AIS is not the same thing as a full public case file. It can help confirm custody and bond status, but filed charges, hearings, and court outcomes move through Indiana court records. If a person has been released, transferred, or held for another agency, combine AIS with Indiana SAVIN, MyCase, IDOC, BOP, or ICE depending on the facts.
Floyd County Inmate Search Fields
The local AIS phone path does not expose a web form, so its exact prompts are not visible online. The official sheriff FAQ still makes the required search path clear: call AIS, choose the incarcerated-person option, and use the person's name. When a web-style search is needed, Indiana SAVIN is the statewide custody-notification tool, and INjail is an official Indiana county-jail portal that may not currently include Floyd County in its visible county list.
| Channel | Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Floyd County AIS | Inmate name | Phone prompt | Unspecified | Use 812-948-5406 option #2; full legal name is the practical starting point. |
| Floyd County AIS | Bond information | Phone prompt | Unspecified | Corrections at 812-948-5404 also handles bond procedures. |
| Indiana SAVIN | Search By | Radio choice | Yes | Choose offender name, case or cause number, or offender ID. |
| Indiana SAVIN | Last Name | Text | Yes for name mode | First name may be blank or partial. |
| INjail Public Portal | County | Dropdown | No | Floyd was not visible among participating counties during research, so do not rely on it as the Floyd roster. |
Floyd County MobilePatrol and SAVIN
The sheriff resources FAQ says people can use the mobile patrol app to find out if someone is in jail or to check bond. The relevant app-store listing is MobilePatrol: Public Safety, which advertises access to jail bookings, warrants, most wanted lists, sex offender information, and public-safety alerts. Floyd County-specific screens were not inspected inside the app during research, so the safer phrasing is that the sheriff names MobilePatrol as a custody-search channel, while AIS and Corrections remain the official local fallback.
Indiana SAVIN, also available through VINELink, is valuable when a person may move, be released, or transfer. Indiana's official FAQ says SAVIN provides custody status information in all 92 counties and lets users register at no cost for notifications about placement, release, transfer, or another custody-status change. SAVIN can search by offender name, offender ID, or case/cause number. It is a custody and notification tool, not the official source for filed criminal case documents.
Note: Use SAVIN for custody alerts, but use MyCase and the Floyd County Clerk for court filings and hearing records.
What Floyd County Inmate Records Show
Floyd County's official jail pages do not publish a sample public roster profile. The confirmed local records points are custody status, bond information, next-business-day court timing for new arrests, and release timing for sentenced jail inmates. Statewide systems show more structured fields. INjail's public portal front end includes a county-jail profile inventory for participating counties, while IDOC profiles show state prison sentence and location fields after transfer.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The person's full public name as listed by the jail, portal, or locator. |
| Booking number | A county booking identifier when a public profile is available. |
| Booked on | The date the person was booked into local jail custody. |
| Arresting agency | The police, sheriff, or other agency tied to the arrest entry. |
| Charges or cases | Arrest charges or linked case information, which may differ from later filed court charges. |
| Bond or hold | Whether a bond amount, no-bond status, or outside-agency hold affects release. |
| Released on | A release date when the portal or record publishes one. |
| DOC number | The Indiana Department of Correction identifier for sentenced state custody, not a county booking number. |
Floyd County Jail or IDOC
Most failed inmate searches start in the wrong system. The Floyd County Jail is the local detention facility for New Albany and the rest of Floyd County. It is used for new bookings, pretrial custody, local sentences, state offenders held at the jail, and some federal offenders. The Indiana Department of Correction incarcerated locator is for sentenced state prisoners after transfer. Federal Bureau of Prisons and ICE searches serve still different custody systems.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| New arrest or pretrial jail custody | Floyd County AIS, Corrections, MobilePatrol, SAVIN | Current local custody, bond, release, and jail status. |
| Filed criminal case | Indiana MyCase and Floyd County Clerk | Charges filed by the prosecutor, hearings, judgments, and public documents. |
| Sentenced state prison custody | IDOC incarcerated locator | DOC number, prison location, sentence data, and projected release date. |
| Federal custody | BOP inmate locator | Federal inmates from 1982 forward and some federal release records. |
| Immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator | ICE detainee searches by A-number or name, country of birth, and birth date. |
Floyd County Jail Contact
The Floyd County Jail is the only local detention facility identified for this site. It shares the sheriff headquarters location in New Albany. The official jail page says the facility handles care, custody, control, transportation, court services, and building security. The sheriff divisions page lists a 363-bed facility, while older official inspection data reported a smaller bed count before the renovation context. Use current sheriff information for contact and procedure, and use older population data only as historical context.

For custody and bond questions, call before sending money, scheduling a visit, or driving to the jail. If the person has a court date or case question, the Floyd County Clerk and MyCase are better sources than the jail phone line.
Floyd County Booking Timing
A typical Floyd County arrest starts with a law-enforcement agency taking a person into custody and transporting that person to the Floyd County Jail when jail booking is required. Intake creates the jail record. Indiana public-record law requires certain arrest and jail information to be available, including identifying information, charges, reasons for jail placement, custody timing, and bond amount if fixed. Some investigatory or confidential material can still be withheld or redacted.
Local timing is important. The sheriff FAQ says court assignments for new arrests are given by the Floyd County Clerk each morning and posted on TV monitors in the courthouse. It also says an arrested person will attend court on the following business day. Sentenced inmate releases begin at 9:00 a.m. unless a court order says otherwise. If another county has a hold, Floyd County states that transport must be scheduled within a reasonable time, with a general jail practice of within 10 days.
Floyd County Jail Visitation
Floyd County Jail visitation is split between a limited free on-site visit and paid video visitation through Securus. Visitors must schedule through the jail's visitation system, provide required identity and contact information, and follow clothing, conduct, and search rules. Visits are a privilege, not a right. Video visits are recorded and monitored except for approved attorney accounts.
| Visit Type | Schedule or Length | Requirements | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free on-site visit | One free 30-minute visit per inmate per month; Saturdays and Sundays only, based on availability | Schedule through the system; valid state-issued ID; arrive at least 15 minutes early | System emails cancellation or change notices. |
| Paid video visitation | Daily 8:00 a.m.-9:30 p.m. | Schedule at least 24 hours in advance through Securus; pay before visit | Non-refundable and monitored except attorney accounts. |
| Attorney visit | Regular business hours | State-issued ID and state-issued bar card | Private attorney visitation room or attorney video account. |
| Clergy visit | Approved volunteer times | Application, online orientation, and background check | Programs staff review and approve volunteers. |
Mail Money and Property
Regular non-legal mail for Floyd County Jail inmates is routed through the Securus Digital Mail Center, not sent directly to the jail. Legal and privileged mail goes to the jail's Spring Street address. Money can be deposited online through the Tiger Commissary path linked by the sheriff, at the lobby kiosk, or by mailed money order or cashier's check. Mailed funds cannot exceed $100.00.
Use Tiger Commissary for Floyd County Jail online deposits when the person is still in local jail custody. Do not send jail funds after a transfer to IDOC without checking the new system, because IDOC uses different trust-account services. Personal property releases occur outside normal business hours, before 8:00 a.m. and after 4:00 p.m., and the person picking up property needs valid state-issued ID. The inmate may refuse release unless a court order controls.
Note: Confirm custody with AIS or Corrections before sending funds, because transferred inmates may need IDOC, federal, or ICE procedures.
Request Floyd County Jail Records
When a jail record is not available through AIS, MobilePatrol, SAVIN, or MyCase, Indiana's Access to Public Records Act is the formal route. The request should identify the person, date of arrest or booking, case or cause number if known, and the exact record sought. Ask for a jail booking record, bond entry, release date, or booking photo only when that is the record needed. A broad request can slow the response or lead to clarification.
The Floyd County public-records page is the county-level starting point for records access, while sheriff and jail questions should be routed to the Floyd County Sheriff's Department. Court filings and certified copies belong with the Clerk or court that maintains the file. Indiana law favors access to public records, but agencies may limit investigatory records, juvenile matters, sealed or expunged records, and safety-sensitive material.
