This is a private reference site, not a Vermillion County office. We cannot confirm custody status, release anyone, post bond, schedule jail services, or retrieve official booking records. Use the official office or locator that controls the record you need.
Where to Check for an Inmate or Record
For current local custody, start with the Vermillion County Sheriff's Office and Jail, operated by Sheriff Mike Holtkamp at 1888 S. State Road 63, Hillsdale, IN 47854. The main sheriff number is (765) 492-3838, and published jail/contact numbers include (765) 492-3737, (765) 492-3838, (765) 665-0142, and (765) 832-7785. Vermillion County's public-records form at vermilliongov.us/general/public-records-request/ can be routed to the Sheriff for booking records or releasable jail records. County courthouse hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; confirm jail lobby and visitation hours by phone before traveling to Hillsdale.
For court records after arrest, use MyCase first. The Vermillion County Clerk is listed at P.O. Box 10, Newport, IN 47966-0010, with phone (765) 492-5350 on the county page and 765-492-3500 in the court directory. The Vermillion County Prosecutor is Bruce D. Aukerman, 255 S. Main Street, P.O. Box 249, Newport, IN 47966, phone 765-492-5370.
- For someone who may be in Vermillion County Jail, use the steps on jail inmate records and call the jail because no official online Vermillion roster or sheriff/police app lookup was confirmed.
- For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots and the Sheriff-routed public-records request process.
- For filed charges, hearings, and dispositions, use court records after a jail arrest and Indiana MyCase.
- For the local detention facility, use the Vermillion County Jail page listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced Indiana prisoner, search the Indiana Department of Correction locator at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System, depending on the agency involved.
