Ripley County Jail Roster
The Ripley County Sheriff's Office is the local jail and custody source. Its official page links a current list of inmates, a daily arrest report, jail visitation information, bond fees, public-records requests, accident reports, sex-offender registry information, tax warrants, and sheriff sale procedures. The sheriff's office is at 102 W. First North Street in Versailles, with a separate mailing address at 210 N. Monroe Street. The listed 24-hour contact number is 812-689-5555.
The county inmate list is a download, not a typed search form. That means the local roster may work more like a current report than a database profile page. For a name search, use the download's find function in the browser or PDF viewer, then compare any listed offense or court abbreviation with MyCase. Jail custody is not the same as a conviction. It can reflect a new arrest, a warrant arrest, bond status, sentence service, or a hold pending court action.
The official Ripley County current inmate list is the local roster source.
Because the roster is a current list, confirm time-sensitive custody details with the sheriff's office when accuracy matters.
Use the Ripley County Inmate List
The current inmate list and daily arrest report answer local custody questions first. The statewide Indiana county jail offender locator is the fallback when a person may be held in another Indiana county jail or when the county download is not enough. MyCase should be used for court charges and hearings tied to the arrest. If the person has moved to state prison after sentencing, county jail tools may no longer show the active custody location.
- Open the sheriff's current inmate list from the official county sheriff page.
- Search the downloaded list by name if the viewer supports text search.
- Review booking number, name, statute, offense description, court offense abbreviation, and class or level if listed.
- Check the daily arrest report for recent booking activity that may not be easy to find in the current list.
- Use MyCase for the filed court case, bond entries, hearing dates, and disposition history.
The local list should not be treated as a full jail profile. The research did not verify public fields such as mugshot, pod, medical status, protective-custody flag, projected release date, or full bond amount in the county download. Do not assume those fields exist unless the current file shows them.
Ripley County Inmate Search Fields
The county source is a report-style download. The statewide Indiana jail locator has a portal-style search mode, but static research did not capture every live field label. The practical field table below separates what the official Ripley County download provides from what may be used in the statewide county-jail locator. It also shows why a court case search may be needed after an inmate is located.
| Field label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current List of Inmates | Download link | No form | Official sheriff page download for current local custody. |
| Daily Arrest Report | Download link | No form | Official sheriff page download for recent arrest activity. |
| Name search | Text | Unspecified | Use report text search locally or statewide portal search when available. |
| County or facility | Dropdown | Optional | Select Ripley when the statewide portal provides a county filter. |
| Search or submit | Button | Yes for portal search | Used on the statewide portal, not the county report download. |
The Indiana county jail offender locator is the statewide jail fallback linked through Indiana court public-records resources.
The statewide locator helps when the person may be held outside Ripley County or the local download is not enough.
Ripley County Roster Fields
The research inventory found a public list pattern rather than a full profile page. That is why a field inventory is more accurate than a claim that every inmate has a detailed profile. The list may identify the person and offense enough to connect the custody record to a court case, but the court case is still the better source for filed charges, pleas, dispositions, sentencing, and costs.
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Booking number | The jail booking identifier attached to the custody entry. |
| Name | The inmate name as listed by the sheriff report. |
| Name number | An internal identifier associated with the listed person. |
| Statute | The Indiana law or offense reference tied to the listed custody reason. |
| Offense description | A plain description of the alleged offense or custody basis. |
| Court offense abbreviation | A short label used in the report for the offense or court category. |
| Offense class | A class or level such as AM, BM, CM, F6, F5, F4, or F3 when shown. |
| Report generation detail | The report title and generation date when present in the download. |
Ripley County Jail Contact
The research did not identify multiple jail facilities or a separate published capacity table. The local custody contact is the sheriff's office and jail operation in Versailles. Use the 24-hour number for time-sensitive custody questions, and use administrative hours for non-urgent records, visitation, bond, and public-records questions. Confirm visit, mail, and bond procedures before arriving because jail rules can change without a separate public notice.

Ripley County Booking Process
A typical booking starts when an arresting officer takes a person to the county jail. Jail staff identify and book the person, and the arrest may appear in the daily arrest report or current inmate list. The prosecutor then reviews whether formal charges should be filed. Once charges are filed, the court case can show the charge list, bond, initial hearing, pleas, disposition, and sentence if the matter reaches those stages.
This is why inmate records and court charge records should be read together. The jail roster answers who is in custody now or who was recently booked. The court charge record answers what the prosecutor filed. A person may be in jail before a public MyCase entry is easy to locate, or a court case may continue after the person is released. Custody status can also change faster than public downloads update.
Ripley County Jail Visitation
The official jail visitation page gives the clearest rules for family and friends. Visits are by appointment only, and the inmate must sign up for visitation. Family or friends cannot set up the visit themselves. Jail officers are not authorized to set visitation or tell visitors when an inmate's visit time is. Visitors need photo ID, and people on probation, parole, or with pending charges will not be permitted to visit.
| Rule | Official detail | Practical effect |
|---|---|---|
| Scheduling | By appointment only. | The inmate must sign up and contact visitors. |
| Visiting hours | Sunday 11:00 a.m.-9:55 p.m. | Visits occur during the Sunday window by appointment. |
| Length | One-half hour. | One visitor may use the full time or two visitors may split 15 minutes each. |
| ID | Photo ID required. | Visitors without proper ID may be denied entry. |
| Restrictions | Probation, parole, or pending charges bar visitation. | Check eligibility before travel. |
| Phones and dress code | Cell phone use is prohibited and dress code is enforced. | Visitors can be turned away for rule violations. |
| Clergy | Special clergy visits require approval as ordained clergy by the jail commander. | Clergy should confirm approval before coming. |
The sheriff's jail visitation page is the official source for visit rules and bond notes.
Use the posted rules before planning a visit, since jail staff will not set appointments for outside visitors.
Bond Mail and Funds
Bond rules are better supported than commissary or phone-vendor details. The jail visitation page states that during courthouse business hours, Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. excluding government holidays, bonds must be paid at the clerk's office. It also states that inmates can be bonded out through GovPay, with a service fee, and gives GovPay phone number 1-888-604-7888. Always confirm the bond amount and payment location before paying.
The research did not verify a commissary vendor, phone-call vendor, video-visit vendor, deposit kiosk, remote video fee, or tablet program from official county pages. Mail instructions were also not fully captured beyond the sheriff mailing address. The safest supported path is to call the sheriff or jail for current mail format, commissary deposit, phone, and money procedures. Do not assume a vendor such as Securus, GTL, HomeWAV, or Access Corrections without official confirmation.
IDOC BOP and VINELink
Not every custody record is a Ripley County inmate record. A person sentenced to state prison should be searched through the Indiana Department of Correction offender information resources. A person in federal prison after a federal sentence should be searched through the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator. A victim-notification or custody-notification need can be checked through VINELink. These tools do not replace the county jail list, but they answer different custody stages.
| System | Use it for | Not for |
|---|---|---|
| Ripley County current inmate list | Local jail custody and current county roster checks. | State prison, federal prison, or old court disposition research. |
| Indiana county jail offender locator | Searching county jail custody statewide. | Federal prison or certified court records. |
| IDOC offender information | Sentenced state-prison custody after transfer. | New county jail bookings. |
| BOP inmate locator | Federal prison custody. | Ripley County jail detainees. |
| VINELink | Custody-status and victim notification. | Certified case documents or court filings. |
The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator is for federal custody, not local jail custody.
Use BOP only when the person is in the federal prison system or may have a federal sentence.
The VINELink custody status portal supports custody and victim-notification searches.
VINELink is useful for notification, but court filings and official copies still come from court and clerk sources.
Ripley County Custody Limits
Research did not locate an official Ripley County Sheriff mobile app or app-only inmate lookup. The county sheriff page did not display verified App Store or Google Play badges for a Ripley-specific records app. Statewide or public-safety apps may exist, but they should not be described as official Ripley County inmate tools without a verified county source.
Jail records also have public-access limits. Medical details, protective-custody information, juvenile custody records, certain addresses, and sensitive identifiers are not ordinary public fields. A roster can be incomplete or out of date. Court documents may be sealed, expunged, or restricted. For official court charge history after booking, use MyCase and the Clerk of the Circuit and Superior Courts.
Note: A current jail roster entry proves custody at the report time, not a conviction or final case outcome.
