Custody status and victim notification

Clark County jail resources include victim notification. For custody status alerts or victim notification, use VINElink victim notification.

VINElink is useful when you want notification-related information rather than general jail programs, visitation rules, mail rules, or commissary instructions.

Case status and court dates

For the status of an inmate's case or court dates, Clark County jail guidance points users to Indiana court information online through mycase.in.gov. You may also contact the court directly or contact the jail for the information jail staff have available.

Bond information is handled separately. Cash or surety and court cash bonds are collected 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but during business hours the preferred payment location is the clerk's office. Cash-only bonds must be paid directly to the Clerk of Courts.
