Sullivan County Jail Roster Overview
The official Sullivan County inmate search route is the county-linked JailTracker/Public Safety Cloud roster. The Sullivan County Jail page sends users there from its inmate-search link, so this is the first place to check for current local custody. The jail is operated by the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office, led by Sheriff Jason Bobbitt, and the sheriff/jail phone number is (812) 268-4308.
That roster does not cover every person who may be confined in Sullivan County. Wabash Valley Correctional Facility is a state prison in the county, but its prisoners are searched through the Indiana Department of Correction, not the county jail roster. Federal sentenced prisoners use the Bureau of Prisons locator, and immigration detainees use ICE ODLS. This split matters because a person may start in Sullivan County Jail after arrest, appear later in Indiana MyCase, and move off the county roster after transfer to state custody.
Use the Sullivan County Inmate Roster
Start with the exact county link instead of the statewide Indiana jail portal. Sullivan County was not listed among the participating counties in the Indiana County Jail Public Portal during research, so the county-specific JailTracker path remains the supported route. The portal is a JavaScript application, and the research pass found a CAPTCHA wall before live offender rows could be sampled.
- Open the Sullivan County JailTracker/Public Safety Cloud inmate search from the official county jail page.
- Search by last name first, then add a first name if the results need to be narrowed.
- Complete any CAPTCHA or session step the portal requires before assuming no record exists.
- Open the profile only if the public portal returns a match, then review available charges, bond, hold, and release fields.
- If the person is not listed, call the jail/sheriff number or check IDOC, BOP, ICE, SAVIN, and court channels as the facts fit.
Because the public roster could not be fully sampled without CAPTCHA validation, no page should claim that Sullivan County always displays every supported JailTracker field. Treat the online result as a lead. For urgent release, bond, or visitation decisions, confirm status with the jail before taking action.
Sullivan County Roster Search Fields
The JailTracker metadata showed a name-search flow, search-type settings, CAPTCHA, and release-related controls, but Sullivan County's exact public settings were not confirmed. The table below keeps the distinction clear: these are supported or observed search elements from the official linked app, not a promise that each field is always visible to the public.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | Unspecified | Metadata contains last-name search text and name-search flow. |
| First Name | Text | Unspecified | Used to narrow a name search when the portal exposes it. |
| Search Type | Option selector | Unspecified | SearchType settings exist, but Sullivan-visible options were not confirmed. |
| CAPTCHA | Challenge | Yes during inspection | The API required CAPTCHA before returning roster data on June 12, 2026. |
| Current or released filters | Configuration/filter | Unspecified | Release-related settings appeared in metadata; public retention was not confirmed. |
The official county page is still the most reliable starting point because it links directly to the jail's chosen portal. If the portal blocks access, returns no match, or does not display a field needed for a public-records purpose, use the sheriff's records channel rather than guessing from third-party sites.
Sullivan County Inmate Profile Fields
A live Sullivan County inmate profile was not opened during research, so the profile inventory must be framed as platform-supported and not guaranteed. JailTracker metadata can support identity, image, booking, arrest, charge, case, bond, hold, and release fields. Sullivan County public settings may hide charges or inmate images, and the CAPTCHA-gated session may affect what a public user can see.
| Field | What It May Show |
|---|---|
| Name | First, middle, and last name fields are supported by the platform. |
| Booking or arrest number | Booking-number and arrest-number fields are supported; Sullivan visibility was not confirmed. |
| Arrest date and agency | Arrest date and arresting-agency fields are supported in metadata. |
| Charges and court fields | Charge description, court type/date, case number, counts, and warrant number may be supported. |
| Bond | Bond amount and bond type are supported at platform level, but public display was not confirmed. |
| Release or hold status | Final release date/time, holds, cases, and status-related data may appear depending on settings. |
| Booking photo | Offender image fields exist, but JailTracker can hide inmate images unless public settings allow them. |
For the court side of a charge, use MyCase after filing. Jail roster charges are arrest-side or booking-side data. Filed charges, charge amendments, hearings, and dispositions are court records after a jail arrest, and those records come from MyCase or the Sullivan County Clerk.
Sullivan County Custody Lookup Chain
The access chain should follow custody type. Current local custody begins with the county jail roster and the jail phone. Released or historical booking questions may need a public-records request. State prisoners, including people held at Wabash Valley Correctional Facility, use the Indiana Department of Correction incarcerated database. Federal and immigration records use separate federal locators.
| Custody or Record Need | Where to Look |
|---|---|
| Current Sullivan County Jail custody | County JailTracker/Public Safety Cloud roster, then (812) 268-4308. |
| Incident or CAD report material | Email reports@sullivancounty.in.gov with enough detail for the sheriff's office to identify the report. |
| Sentenced state-prison custody | Indiana Department of Correction locator and, for notifications, Indiana SAVIN or VINELink. |
| Federal sentenced custody | Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator System. |
Indiana SAVIN and VINELink Indiana are notification tools, not full booking-record repositories. They are useful when a reader needs custody-status alerts, especially when a county roster result is incomplete or a person has moved between systems.
Sullivan County Jail Facilities
Sullivan County has two confirmed detention facilities that affect inmate-record searches. The county jail handles local arrests, pretrial custody, bond questions, short local holds, visitation, and commissary tasks. Wabash Valley is a state prison inside Sullivan County, and it holds sentenced adult state prisoners under IDOC authority.

Booking Records in Sullivan County
County-specific booking steps are not published in detail on the jail pages. The supported path is arrest or warrant commitment, transport to Sullivan County Jail, creation of an admission record, identity and authority-for-hold documentation, and later court processing if the prosecutor files charges. Indiana jail standards at 210 IAC 3-1-6 require admission records with information such as booking number, intake date/time, identity, aliases, address, and authority for commitment unless another law bars release.
The county does not publish a roster refresh rate, booking-photo display policy, release retention window, or full intake policy. If a person has just been arrested, the online roster may lag or may not be accessible until CAPTCHA/session steps are complete. MyCase may also lag because the court case appears after charges are filed and processed, not at the moment of booking.
Sullivan County Jail Visitation
The Sullivan County jail visitation page uses InmateSales for both onsite and remote video visitation. A visitor creates or logs into an InmateSales account, selects Sullivan County Indiana, buys the visitation product, and schedules the visit after account approval if the account is new. The page requires correct name, address, birthday, and valid legal ID. Remote or mobile visits require an internet-enabled device with speaker, camera, and high-speed internet.
| Facility | Visit Type | Scheduling | Published Schedule | ID / Approval |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sullivan County Jail | Onsite and remote video | InmateSales | Exact blocks not published; visitor schedules in vendor system. | Valid legal ID and correct account details; new account requires jail approval. |
| Wabash Valley Correctional Facility | IDOC visits | ViaPath / GTL VisitMe | Generally 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; J Unit has listed evening blocks. | ViaPath registration and approval required. |
Sullivan County Inmate Contact and Funds
After locating a person, use the county's own vendor links for contact and funds. Sullivan County links InmateSales for inmate email, phone deposits, Chirps, AXXS Mini, and visitation. It links JailFunds for commissary deposits. The jail page does not publish full personal-mail rules, so mail questions should be confirmed with the jail before sending anything other than the money-order method the county lists.
| Need | Channel | Local Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Commissary deposit | Lobby kiosk, JailFunds, phone, or mail | Kiosk accepts cash or credit; phone deposit line is 1-855-836-3364; U.S. Postal money orders may be mailed in the inmate's name. |
| Phone, Chirps, AXXS Mini | CPC kiosk, InmateSales, or phone | The communications deposit number listed in research is 702-829-3001. |
| Reports | Sheriff records email | Incident and CAD report requests go to reports@sullivancounty.in.gov with as much identifying detail as possible. |
| Bond or tax warrant payment | GovPayNet/AllPaid | Confirm the agency, payment type, and case before paying through the county-linked service. |
Note: Confirm custody, release status, and approved payment route with the jail before sending money or scheduling a visit.
Sullivan County Records Requests
The sheriff's Obtaining Reports page gives the most specific local records route. Accident reports are purchased through LexisNexis BuyCrash for $12.00 online. Incident Reports and CAD Reports can be requested by email at reports@sullivancounty.in.gov. The county asks requesters to provide as much information as possible and warns that not all incident reports are available for release.
That warning fits Indiana public-records law. Indiana APRA allows inspection and copying of public agency records unless an exemption applies. IC 5-14-3-5 requires access to specified arrest and jail lock-up information, including identity, charges or reason held, intake and discharge time, and fixed bond if any. Investigatory records may still be withheld under IC 5-14-3-4. Use precise requests and separate jail records from court records.
