List of Jails and Prisons in Indiana

Unable to Locate an Inmate in Indiana

DOC information is a general term that applies to several areas. For some, this may be something simple such as a phone number and address for a specific facility or a list of jails and prisons in a given area or state, but for others, more specific information is needed. It can be difficult to navigate and locate specific information when under stress about a current or recent conviction of a friend or family member, but InmatesPlus can help. InmatesPlus provides a single place to find the DOC information you need for both specific institutions and general DOC information that can be applied to the majority of institutions and inmates. A list of all the jails and prisons in Indiana is included with links to each facility website if one exists. This allows you to quickly find the page you need and look up inmates, typically with little more than a legal name or inmate number. This can be important for friend, family member, and even victims that want to know where an inmate is located and for how long. Many times, this also lists charges that are pending or have been resolved and a sentence given.

For family members who need general information regarding inmates in Indiana, InmatesPlus can further help. There are articles and ideas on how to stay in touch with your loved one, what helps, and the types of items available through most commissaries. This can also help others to understand the need and importance of contact with those on the outside for inmates. Jail is scary, lonely, and disconcerting for both those in prison and those left behind. InmatesPlus can ease some fears through DOC information.

There are a number of reasons you may be unable to locate an inmate in Indiana, but none make the lack of knowledge any easier. InmatesPlus was created to help ease some of the burden of trying to locate an inmate or find reliable information about being in jail or prison. If you are unable to locate an inmate in Indiana for whatever reason, InmatesPlus can offer a list of facilities and basic info, but also offers a link to a third-party site called VINELink. This site was originally designed for victims of crimes to serve as a way to know when an inmate was convicted, for what they were convicted, and how long of a sentence was received. VINE stands for Victim Information and Notification Everyday and serves mainly as a victim notification network.

This serves to empower both victims and concerned citizens in a reliable way. Once registered, which is kept confidential, you can search for the inmate information you want with a state and full name for the inmate. Once found, information such as a mug shot, sentence length, list of charges, and more are provided free of charge. For added security, anyone can sign up for alerts about a specific inmate. This can come in the form of a text, email, phone call, or even through TTY services if needed. The peace of mind of being able to simply access this information can help victims more on with life and help concerned family members and friends to know how long a person will be missing from their lives.
