Recent bookings compared with the inmate lookup

The recent booking records page is focused on recent jail booking entries. The Sheriff’s Office also provides an Inmate Lookup page for broader custody searches, including a larger current inmate record set.

Use the recent booking page when the booking is new and you want the latest listed entries. Use the search the inmate lookup option when you need to check a person’s current jail listing beyond the recent bookings view.

Charges and bond information

Booking entries may show charge descriptions, charge bond amounts, and a total bond amount. Some listings may show “No Bond,” while others show a dollar amount.

The Sheriff’s Office states that it takes at least one hour, and sometimes longer, for a person to move from arrest through completion of the booking process. Until booking is completed, the jail will not have information on that person.

For bond posting, the person posting bond must have a state-issued photo ID and the exact bond amount in cash or credit card. The credit card must belong to the person posting bond. Credit card payments include a non-refundable convenience charge based on the bond amount.

Bond posting locations and hours

Bond posting depends on the charge type and time of day.

Cash-only bonds cannot be posted with a surety bond. For a surety bond, contact a bail bondsman of your choice.

Court times after a new arrest

People arrested on new charges will either appear in court or be seen by a judge within 72 hours of arrest. Initial appearances generally follow these court time patterns, but times can change based on court requirements.

Questions about a specific court case should be directed to the inmate’s attorney or the court hearing the case.

Release dates and custody notifications

Release dates are calculated from court documents. If the person is sentenced to the Vanderburgh County Jail, release date questions can be directed to the jail by phone. On the release date, the inmate is released at 5:30 AM from the main entrance of the Vanderburgh County Jail.
