Floyd County Jail Mugshots Online

The Floyd County Sheriff's Office, led by Sheriff Steve Bush, maintains an online inmate information page where you can look up current inmates and booking records.

About the Floyd County Jail

The Floyd County Jail is located at 311 Hauss Square in New Albany, Indiana 47150. The facility houses pre-trial detainees, county-sentenced inmates, and state and federal offenders held under contract. Because it holds multiple categories of inmates, the jail can have a mix of people at various stages of the legal process at any given time.

An important note from the sheriff's office: all people shown in booking records are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty in a court of law. The fact that someone appears in Floyd County jail mugshots means only that they were arrested, not that they are guilty of any offense. Bond is set by the court, not the jail. There is a Court Cash Bond option at 10% of total, a Full Cash Bond at 100%, and a $5.00 Special Death Benefit Bond fee per case.

Commissary accounts for inmates can be set up through Tiger Accounting online or through a 24/7 kiosk in the jail lobby. Families wanting to reach an inmate by phone or put money on their books can use those options at any time.

What Floyd County Booking Records Contain

Indiana Code IC 5-14-3-5 spells out what arrest information must be made public. When someone is booked at the Floyd County Jail, the sheriff's office must release the person's name, age, and address. The date, time, and location of the arrest must also be disclosed. So must the arresting officer's name, the charges filed, and the bond or bail amount set by the court.

Booking photos, commonly called mugshots, are part of those public records. Under state law and guidance from Indiana's Public Access Counselor, mugshots are generally releasable upon request. You can review the PAC's position in their official mugshot opinion. There are some exceptions. IC 5-14-3-4 lets agencies hold back investigatory records in certain circumstances, and an active ongoing investigation may delay some disclosures.

Floyd County Jail Mugshots Through VINE

VINE is a free statewide notification system that runs every day of the year. Search by name at VineLink.com or call 1-866-959-8463 to check whether someone is currently in custody at the Floyd County Jail or anywhere else in Indiana. The system pulls from jail and prison data statewide, so it covers both county jails and state facilities.

One of the most useful VINE features is the alert system. Register your contact info and VINE will notify you when an inmate's status changes. Releases, transfers, and new court dates can all trigger a notification. This is free and available to anyone, not just crime victims, though victims are the primary audience.

Floyd County Court Records via MyCase

Indiana Courts runs a free public search portal called MyCase. At public.courts.in.gov/mycase, you can look up criminal cases filed in Floyd County courts. Enter a name and you'll see the charges, court dates, bond amounts, and outcomes. MyCase doesn't show mugshots, but it covers the full case history once an arrest leads to a court filing.

Floyd County criminal cases go through the Floyd Circuit Court and Floyd Superior Court. Both appear in MyCase. The tool is updated regularly and is open to anyone without needing to log in or pay a fee. If you know someone was arrested in Floyd County, MyCase can tell you whether charges were filed and what has happened in court since then.

Expungement and Floyd County Arrest Records

Not every arrest in Floyd County leads to a conviction. Indiana Code IC 35-38-5-5 allows some people to petition for expungement, which restricts government agencies from sharing records of certain arrests and convictions. If an expungement is granted, the official jail and court records are sealed for public access purposes.

Expungement does not automatically wipe records from all private websites, but it does limit what the Floyd County Sheriff's Office and courts can legally share. Anyone seeking expungement in Floyd County should speak with a licensed Indiana attorney or reach out to a legal aid organization serving the southern Indiana region. The Indiana Public Access Counselor handles complaints and questions about what records must or must not be released.

IC 36-2-13-5 requires sheriffs to photograph and fingerprint arrested persons. Those records are created at the moment of booking and become part of the official file. Expungement is the main legal route to restricting access to them later on.

State-Level Resources for Floyd County Inmates

If an inmate from Floyd County was sentenced to state prison and transferred out of the local jail, the Indiana Department of Correction's Offender Locator is where to look. It shows current facility, sentence information, and projected release dates for people in state custody. This is separate from the county jail search.

For broader criminal history that goes beyond a single Floyd County arrest, Indiana State Police criminal history services cover convictions statewide. IC 10-13-3-27 allows law enforcement agencies to release limited criminal history to the public. The scope of what is available depends on the type of request and who is making it.
