This page helps users with an inmate search in Monroe County, Indiana by pointing to official custody search and jail information options.
For statewide custody and notification searches, use Indiana VINE. For local jail questions, the Monroe County Jail and Monroe County Correctional Center provide inmate information and family assistance.
Indiana VINE offender search
Indiana VINE is the main statewide search option for finding custody status information and registering for updates. Start with the Indiana VINE person search.
- Choose that you are searching for an offender.
- Select Indiana as the state.
- Use the required search selection shown on the search form.
The Indiana SAVIN offender search also supports searches by offender name, case or cause number, or offender ID.
- Enter a last name when searching by offender name.
- Add a first name or partial first name to narrow results.
- Use a partial or complete last name, offender ID, or case number before submitting the search.
Check results carefully. VINE states that offender information is not guaranteed for accuracy, timeliness, or completeness.
Monroe County Jail inmate information
The Monroe County Jail provides local inmate information for people held at the Monroe County Correctional Center. The jail page lists “Locate an inmate” and provides an inmate information phone line.
Use the Monroe County Jail information page for local jail details, including the jail location and current visitation notice.
In-person inmate visitation is suspended until further notice. Video visitation is arranged through the InmateSales website only.
Release notifications and account access
VINE provides custody status and criminal case notifications by text, email, phone, or in-app alerts. Users can register for updates through VINE, and phone support is available through the toll-free VINE service.
For release notification setup, Monroe County’s visitation and money page directs users to the Indiana Department of Correction website and the Alert Notification Service. You can also review the VINE service overview for access options and registration information.
VINE also notes that some agencies may be temporarily offline during service interruptions. During an outage, record and registration functions may be unavailable, though notifications continue under emergency protocol.

For video visits, phone services, chirping, and visitation funds, Monroe County directs users to InmateSales. For commissary deposits, Monroe County lists JailATM as the online deposit option.
