Daviess County Jail Roster Limits
No official Daviess County current inmate roster, recent-bookings list, booking-report PDF, or county-hosted mugshot gallery was located in the inspected county and sheriff sources. That matters because many counties publish a name-search roster, but Daviess County directs users through a custody-status chain instead. The official Jail Command quick links include the county victim notification page, JailATM funding, Indiana Department of Correction offender search, and inmate communications. The practical first step is not a county roster profile. It is a custody-status check, followed by a direct jail contact if the person is not found.
The Daviess County Security Center is operated by the Daviess County Sheriff's Office at 101 NE 4th Street in Washington. Sheriff Gary Allison is identified by the sheriff's office and state public-safety sources as the county sheriff. Current custody questions should go to the Detention Center at 812-254-5974 or the Sheriff's Office and Security Center main line at 812-254-1060. Those phone channels are important for recent arrests, release-date questions, holds, and cases where the public VINE/SAVIN search does not return a match.
Important: Daviess County does not appear to publish a county-hosted live roster in the inspected official pages; use VINE/SAVIN, phone, MyCase, IDOC, BOP, ICE, and APRA requests as the records path.
Search Daviess County Custody Records
Daviess County inmate records are best searched in a fixed order because each system answers a different question. Indiana VINE/SAVIN can confirm custody status and notification options for participating jails. The jail phone lines can answer local custody and release-date questions that do not appear online. MyCase shows the court case after charges are filed. IDOC is for sentenced state prisoners after transfer, while BOP and ICE cover federal and immigration custody.
- Search Indiana SAVIN or VINELink for Indiana by last name, offender ID, or case number if known.
- If no match appears, call the Daviess County Detention Center at 812-254-5974 or the Sheriff's Office at 812-254-1060 for current custody status.
- For filed charges and hearings after booking, search Indiana MyCase and narrow the court or county to Daviess when available.
- If the person has been sentenced and transferred, use the Indiana Department of Correction offender locator.
- For federal or immigration custody, search the BOP inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
- For a booking sheet, jail incident record, or older custody record that is not online, ask the Sheriff's Office for its APRA records request process.
The county's official VINE page is the most local online starting point because it tells users to visit VINELink or call 1-866-959-8463 for custody tracking and notification registration. VINE is not the same as a full jail record. It is built for status and notices when custody changes.
Daviess County Roster Search Fields
Because no county-hosted Daviess County jail roster fields were found, the useful search-field table is the Indiana VINE/SAVIN table documented in the research. It should be read as a custody-status locator, not as a complete booking profile. If the result is incomplete, the jail phone line and a written records request are the next steps.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search By | Radio or dropdown | Yes | Use offender name, offender identification number, or case number. |
| Offender Last Name | Text | Required for name search | Partial or complete last name may be used. |
| First Name | Text | Optional or unspecified | Useful for narrowing common names when available. |
| Offender ID | Text | Required for ID search | Use the offender identification number if known. |
| Case Number | Text | Required for case search | Use the court or agency case number if known. |
The Daviess County report and permit information page shows the Sheriff's Office handles warrant searches, accident reports, criminal backgrounds, and record requests. That hub is a better match for documents than VINE when a user needs a report or a copy of a local record.
The Sheriff's report and permit information page is the local records hub for request routes that sit outside VINE.
Daviess County Inmate Record Fields
Indiana jail rules require county jails to maintain inmate records, but that does not mean every field is posted to the web. Under 210 IAC 3-1-6, jail records include intake and release data, name and aliases, commitment authority, charges, property, medical screening, classification, and related admission information. For Daviess County, the public view is split among VINE, jail staff, MyCase, and written records requests.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Not inspectable in a county-hosted roster; VINE should return the matched offender name when available. |
| Booking number | Required in the jail record by Indiana jail rule, but not verified as public online for Daviess County. |
| Booking date and time | Maintained in the jail record; not verified as a public online Daviess field. |
| Charges | Maintained at booking, while formal filed charges should be checked in MyCase. |
| Bond | Daviess publishes bond types and payment steps, but no public roster bond field was located. |
| Release date | County jail sentence release-date questions can be directed to 812-254-1060; IDOC handles release dates after transfer. |
Jail intake also creates property and medical records. Daviess County says clothing and other items are stored in a numbered property tote, while valuables are sealed in a separate bag in front of the arrestee. The county's medical page states emergency care is available at all times and that no inmate is denied treatment because of ability to pay, although medical visits carry a co-pay.
Daviess County Inmate Locator Channels
A Daviess County inmate search can fail when the person is in the wrong system for the tool being used. County jail custody covers people awaiting court, serving short local sentences, or held on local warrants. IDOC covers sentenced Indiana prisoners after transfer. Federal prisoners and immigration detainees use separate federal systems. A local bond may also fail to release a person if another hold, warrant, DOC hold, federal hold, ICE detainer, or no-bond order exists.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Pretrial or local jail | Indiana VINE/SAVIN and Daviess jail phone | Current custody, recent booking, local release status. |
| Sentenced state prisoner | Indiana Department of Correction locator | Facility assignment and IDOC release-date information after transfer. |
| Court charge record | Indiana MyCase and Daviess County Clerk | Filed charges, hearings, cause number, disposition, sentence. |
| Federal custody | BOP inmate locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present, not local Daviess bookings. |
| Immigration custody | ICE ODLS | Immigration detention status, not county roster data. |
The Daviess County release-date page is clear that DOC release dates are calculated by IDOC after transfer. That means the county jail may answer local sentence questions, but IDOC becomes the source once the person is received into state prison custody.
Daviess County Jail Facilities
The local detention map has two county custody-related facilities. The Daviess County Security Center is the secure jail. The Daviess County Community Corrections Program Center is a structured alternative that handles work release, home detention, day reporting, community transition, pretrial programming, and juvenile home detention. Community Corrections is not a general public jail roster facility, so custody status still starts with VINE or the jail when the question is whether someone is physically in the Security Center.

Daviess County Inmate Visitation
Visitation is handled through InmateSales and the Daviess County Security Center lobby process. The county publishes both lobby and at-home video windows. A visitor should confirm custody before scheduling because VINE status, court release, bond, or transfer can change quickly after a booking. The county also sets visit limits and rules, including one weekly 20-minute lobby visit for each inmate and no more than two adults per visit.
| Visit Type | Days | Hours | Cost or Limit | Scheduling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lobby visitation | Monday to Sunday | 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. | One 20-minute visit per inmate per visitation week | InmateSales.com, 1-866-340-7879, or lobby scheduling |
| At-home video visits | Monday to Sunday | 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. | Unlimited; 20 cents per minute | InmateSales.com |
Mail must use the inmate's full name and ID number, the Daviess County Security Center name, and the jail address. The county says USPS mail is inspected, privileged legal mail is opened in the inmate's presence, and many items are barred, including Polaroids, stickers, perfumed letters, sound or glitter cards, colored marker, and packages unless approved.
Daviess County Records Requests
Indiana's Access to Public Records Act gives a person the right to inspect and copy public records during regular business hours, subject to exemptions. For Daviess County inmate records, the written request should be specific. Name the person, approximate booking or arrest date, agency, and the record sought, such as booking sheet, jail incident report, property record, or booking photograph. Juvenile records, sealed or expunged cases, medical details, investigatory records, and security-sensitive data may be withheld or redacted.
| Record or Item | Fee | How to Request | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Incident report | $5 | In person or by mail | Pay by local-bank cashier's check or money order to Daviess County Sheriff's Department. |
| Accident report | $5 | In person or by mail | Photos and video have separate fees if available. |
| Accident photo | $1 per picture | In person or by mail | Call 812-254-1060 to ask how many pictures are on disk. |
| Accident video | $25 if available | In person or by mail | Availability must be confirmed. |
| Limited criminal history | $10 for most requestors | In person with form and ID, or employer fax with signed consent | Not a public record; limited to qualifying purposes, self-request, or waiver. |
The Daviess County criminal history request page is narrower than a jail roster. It covers local arrests or charges within Daviess County and is limited by Indiana law. For filed criminal charges after jail booking, use Daviess County court records after jail arrest and MyCase rather than treating the jail intake charge as the final court charge.
