Daviess County Program Center
The Daviess County Community Corrections page describes a local corrections program focused on behavioral change, rehabilitation, re-entry, and public safety. Its published components include Home Detention for juveniles and adults, Work Release, Community Transition Program, and Day Reporting. The facility address used in official reports and board materials is 415 W Walnut Street in Washington, with the main phone listed as 812-254-8665.
This facility should not be treated as a standard jail roster source. A participant may live in a work-release setting, be confined at home with monitoring, report to the office for day reporting, or move through a court-approved community transition plan. Some participants may have jail ties, but the question is usually court supervision rather than ordinary booking status. For a new arrest or jail booking, use the Daviess County Security Center custody channels. For a Community Corrections placement, search MyCase and call the program office.

Daviess County Corrections Statistics
The official 2025 Daviess County Community Corrections annual report gives the best public snapshot of program volume. It reported 244 individual clients supervised for 40,308 days, with an average of 165 days per client. The same report counted 61 work release cases, 157 home detention cases, 27 day reporting cases, nine pretrial cases, one Community Transition Program case, and nine juvenile home detention cases. It also calculated 110 years in jail bed stays diverted and used a local jail per diem of $79 per day.
The program numbers show why Community Corrections belongs in the local detention map even though it is not a general jail. Work release and home detention still restrict liberty, require court approval, and can return a participant to jail after a violation. The county jail page separately says the work release center houses an additional 52 beds, but the Community Corrections annual report did not publish a separate daily work-release bed count.
Lookup Daviess County Program Status
There is no public Daviess County Community Corrections roster in the inspected official sources. The correct lookup path depends on why the person is in the program. A court order, sentencing entry, pretrial order, probation contact, or Community Corrections case manager is more useful than a jail search form. Indiana MyCase can show the criminal case, court dates, orders, and sometimes supervision-related entries when they are public.
- Search MyCase by name or cause number and select Daviess County if the portal allows county filtering.
- Review the sentencing, bond, pretrial, or violation entries to see whether Community Corrections was ordered.
- Call Daviess County Community Corrections at 812-254-8665 for program-status questions that the court record does not answer.
- Use probation, the supervising court, or the attorney of record when the question involves a court order, hearing, or violation.
- Use VINE or the Security Center phone only when the person may have been booked into the county jail after an arrest or violation.
The DCCC Handbook is the best source for program procedures, forms, CaseBase scheduling, and employer verification rules. It identifies Community Corrections staff roles and says forms are available in the lobby of the Community Corrections Office.
Daviess County Jail Differences
The Daviess County Security Center handles arrests, booking, jail housing, bond, visitation, mail, commissary, and jail release dates. Daviess County Community Corrections handles court-ordered community custody and supervision. A work-release participant may report to a job, return to the approved facility or residence, submit schedules, and follow drug testing or treatment rules. A home-detention participant may be monitored away from the jail. Day reporting participants must appear for ordered programming or check-ins.
| Issue | Security Center | Community Corrections Program Center |
|---|---|---|
| Main role | County jail for booking and local custody | Work release, home detention, day reporting, pretrial, and transition supervision |
| Lookup source | VINE, sheriff phone, MyCase, IDOC after transfer, APRA | MyCase, court order, program phone, probation or court channels |
| Visitor issue | Jail visitation rules and InmateSales schedule | Approved schedules, office contact, and program rules rather than standard jail visiting |
| Money issue | Commissary and inmate account deposits | Program fees, monitoring fees, drug-screen fees, and transfer fees |
Violations can connect the two facilities. A missed schedule, unapproved absence, failed drug screen, or new arrest may lead to court action and possible jail custody. That makes it important to separate a current custody search from a program-status question.
Daviess County Program Fees
The 2025 annual report lists several Community Corrections fees. These are program charges, not jail commissary deposits and not bond. They may depend on the program type, monitoring equipment, transfer status, drug-screen method, and required classes or workbooks. A participant should verify the current amount with Community Corrections because court orders and program rules can change.
| Fee item | Reported amount |
|---|---|
| Interview fee | $50 |
| Initial start-up, all programs | $50 |
| Work release daily with GPS | $20 |
| Work release daily with GPS and alcohol unit | $25 |
| Home detention daily GPS | $15 |
| Home detention daily GPS and alcohol unit | $20 |
| Day reporting Level 1 with GPS | $15 daily |
| Day reporting Level 2 | $10 daily |
| Urine drug screen | $20 |
| Oral drug screen | $30 |
The report also lists a baseline drug screen at $100, a CBT program fee at $75, an MRT workbook at $30, an AM workbook at $15, journals at $10, local intrastate or interstate transfer fees at $100, an interstate state fee at $125, work-release transfer-in fees due at $710, and home-detention transfer-in fees due at $570.
Daviess County CaseBase Rules
The DCCC Handbook says weekly schedules are not submitted on paper. Participants submit schedules through CaseBase for the upcoming Monday through Sunday period. The schedule must list approved activities that require leaving the residence or work-release facility, such as work, treatment, recovery meetings, classes, appointments, or other approved obligations. If a schedule is late, the participant may not leave for activities other than approved employment. Once submitted, changes require a verified emergency and prior approval.
The official Community Corrections page is a suitable source for the program's components and mission.
That county source fits this page because the Program Center operates through structured alternatives rather than a public inmate roster. The image points back to the official program page, while the handbook supplies the more detailed CaseBase and form rules.
Note: A late or incomplete Community Corrections form can delay approval or create a disciplinary issue.
Daviess County Program Forms
Community Corrections forms document where a participant may go, who supervises work, what records staff can request, and whether an activity was verified. The handbook lists an Employer Work Agreement/Acknowledgement Form, Job Search Verification Log, Information Form, Appointment/Activity Verification, Consent for Release of Confidential Information, Work Record Verification, Medication Verification/Authorization, and Weekly Schedule Information. Changes in employment require a new employer form, and Community Corrections may approve or deny employment.
| Form or record | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Employer Work Agreement | Verifies work before a participant may leave for employment |
| Job Search Verification Log | Documents each job-search attempt and allows staff verification |
| Appointment/Activity Verification | Confirms classes, treatment, recovery meetings, appointments, or approved activities |
| Consent for Release of Confidential Information | Allows records and communication with courts, probation, employer, attorney, sheriff, or other approved parties |
| Work Record Verification | Used when an employer lacks electronic timekeeping or payroll records |
| Weekly Schedule Information | Lists approved departures for the coming week through CaseBase |
Daviess County Work Release
The handbook's employer rules are detailed because work release depends on verified, lawful work and staff's ability to confirm location and hours. Employers must provide pay stubs, payroll records, or electronic timekeeping records with pay-period dates, daily clock-in and clock-out times, total hours, and rate of pay. They must report absences, tardiness, leaving early, leaving the worksite without approval, being sent home, discipline, termination, unsatisfactory performance, and positive drug or alcohol tests if applicable.
Work release hours may not exceed 12 hours per day without prior approval. If employment involves multiple job sites, the employer must be able to verify where the participant is working. The employer also acknowledges that the participant is the employer's employee and is covered by the employer's insurance and workers' compensation, not by Daviess County Community Corrections.
| Employer Work Agreement field | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Company and supervisor name | Identifies who can verify work and conduct |
| Actual work site address | Shows where staff may verify the participant's location |
| Phone and start date | Gives staff contact details and employment timing |
| Full-time or part-time status | Documents the work arrangement |
| Scheduled work hours | Sets the approved departure and return window |
| Employer and participant signatures | Confirms both parties know the rules |
