The details you need.
In one place.

Sources reviewed

Adult Sheriff custody at 255 Brucke Strasse only; Community Corrections/work release, courts, probation, youth, municipal, state, federal, immigration, community providers and namesake systems remain separate.

  1. Confirm custody

    Check the live Sheriff roster, then call 812-482-3522 with full name and date of birth.

  2. Schedule contact

    Use InmateSales for video; confirm live visit hours and appointment type with the Security Center.

  3. Reserve transport

    Call Ride Solution at 812-254-3225 for both directions and the exact public curb.

PART 01

Confirm the active adult Sheriff system

Identity, lookup and task-specific contacts

Use the active adult Security Center

Dubois County Security Center is the adult Sheriff jail at 255 Brucke Strasse, Jasper, IN 47547. “Dubois County Jail” and “Security Center” refer to this same adult county custody system. Call 812-482-3522; non-emergency dispatch is 812-482-9111.

The county still links the Sheriff’s older-format site, and the current county directory corroborates the Security Center number. Confirm volatile procedures by phone before travel or payment.

Search the live roster, then troubleshoot identity

Start with the Sheriff’s live JailTracker roster. Search spelling variants and hyphenated names; the roster may lag a recent booking, release or transfer. If there is no match, call 812-482-3522 with full legal name, date of birth and approximate booking date.

Cross-check Indiana MyCase for the court case. MyCase shows case events, not necessarily current physical custody. Use IDOC, BOP or ICE locators only after staff identifies a transfer outside county custody.

Use a task-specific contact

Security Center: 812-482-3522. Non-emergency dispatch: 812-482-9111. InmateSales visit support: 866-340-7879. CPC phone/refund support: 877-998-5678. Clerk: 812-481-7035.

Say the task first—custody, visit, phone account, case or transport—because the published support numbers are not interchangeable.

PART 02

Plan contact and visits

Visits, exceptions, video, phone and unverified messaging

Create and schedule the video visit

The current Sheriff page directs visitors to InmateSales. Create or sign in to an account, choose the Dubois County facility and inmate, select remote or onsite video, enter the requested identity information, purchase minutes if required and schedule the visit. The published form asks for name, address, birthday and driver’s-license information.

The current page does not publish visit days, hours, duration, lead time, free allowance or onsite check-in location. Before traveling, call 812-482-3522 and ask which appointment types are active.

Sources: Dubois County Sheriff — Inmate Visitation · Combined Public Communications — InmateSales · Dubois County — Sheriff

Confirm ID, minors and exceptions before the appointment

The Sheriff’s visit image says children may visit only when accompanied by an adult and asks for driver’s-license information. It does not publish acceptable alternate ID, minor proof, guardian paperwork, age thresholds, dress code, cancellation rules, disability accommodations or attorney/clergy exceptions.

Call the Security Center before the appointment. Have the adult’s government ID, the child’s identifying document and any custody/guardianship order available, but do not assume a document will be accepted until staff confirms it.

Sources: Dubois County Sheriff — Inmate Visitation · Dubois County — Sheriff

Set up video on a supported device and isolate failures

Remote video needs a computer or internet-enabled mobile device with camera, speaker and high-speed connection. The published instructions point Windows/Mac users to Chrome and mobile users to the InmateSales app. Test camera, microphone, browser permission and connection before the start.

For login, purchase, scheduling or connection failure, record the error and transaction number and call 866-340-7879. For an onsite lobby or facility decision, call the jail; vendor support cannot override jail approval.

Sources: Dubois County Sheriff — Inmate Visitation · Combined Public Communications — InmateSales

Fund calls without confusing the phone and visit products

CPC publishes Direct Pay, PIN Debit and Calling Cards through InmateSales. The Sheriff page lists local, in-state and out-of-state calls at $0.21 per minute; international calling card rates start at $1.00 per minute and vary. Taxes and fees may apply.

Direct Pay does not work with ringback tones. For refunds, account questions or talk-time purchases call 877-998-5678. Facility staff says it does not manage the lobby communications kiosk and cannot make change.

Sources: Dubois County Sheriff — Inmate Telephone Services · Combined Public Communications — InmateSales · Combined Public Communications — support

Do not assume text, email or tablet service

The reviewed Sheriff pages verify phone and video products but do not publish inmate email, text, voicemail, tablet, e-card or photo-message availability. A button in a vendor account is not proof that the product is enabled for this jail or this housing unit.

Ask InmateSales whether the product is active for the named person, then confirm any facility restriction with the Security Center before paying.

PART 03

Send mail, publications, money and allowed property

Addressing, privilege boundaries and task-separated payment channels

Address personal mail exactly and use a return address

The Sheriff says mail is distributed within 24 hours after receipt and requires a return address. Address it to: Inmate Name, Dubois County Security Center, 255 Brucke Strasse, Jasper, IN 47546. The mail page uses ZIP 47546 while the Sheriff footer uses 47547; confirm the current postal ZIP before sending.

All nonlegal mail is searched. Mail from someone incarcerated at another correctional facility needs approval from both facilities.

Sources: Dubois County Sheriff — Inmate Mail · Dubois County Sheriff — official site · Dubois County — Sheriff

Send publications only through the stated channel

Magazines and newspapers must come from the publisher. Books must be purchased through Amazon.com. Individuals may not send books, magazines or newspapers. The Sheriff page does not publish binding, quantity, content or invoice limits, or rules for photographs, greeting cards and packages.

Before ordering, call the jail with title, format and seller. Keep the order record; do not treat an Amazon marketplace seller as automatically accepted.

Sources: Dubois County Sheriff — Inmate Mail · Dubois County — Sheriff

Use the published mail method; do not infer an online commissary vendor

The Sheriff permits money by mail and strongly recommends a money order or cashier’s check. Cash is accepted by mail but expressly not recommended; money is not accepted in person and personal checks are not accepted. Use the inmate’s full name and confirm any identifier/payee instruction before purchase.

The reviewed official pages do not identify an online trust/commissary vendor, deposit cap, posting time, fee, refund, debt deduction or release-balance method. The lobby kiosk described on the phone page is a CPC communications kiosk, not proof of a commissary deposit channel.

Sources: Dubois County Sheriff — Inmate Money · Dubois County Sheriff — Inmate Telephone Services · Dubois County — Sheriff

Bring only the narrow published property exceptions

Basic hygiene is provided; additional hygiene may be bought through commissary. The Sheriff says other accepted items generally must be new and unopened and remain subject to staff discretion: eyeglasses, contact lenses with unopened solution, and primarily white socks and underwear in unopened packages. T-shirts and underwire bras are not accepted.

Call before bringing anything. The page does not publish a drop-off window, quantity limit or property-release process.

PART 04

Relay health concerns and preserve rights

Medical, mental health, medication, grievance, access and sexual safety

Relay urgent health information through the jail

No reviewed current jail page identifies the medical contractor, family message line, sick-call process, copay, emergency notification standard or outside-hospital policy. For an urgent medication or health concern, call 812-482-3522, identify the person and ask how to send information to clinical staff. Call 911 for an immediate community emergency.

Deaconess Memorial Medical Center is a community hospital, not a verified jail contractor.

Sources: Dubois County — Sheriff · Deaconess Memorial Medical Center — Jasper · Dubois County — Health Department

Use the jail for custody welfare concerns and community crisis resources outside

For suicide risk, withdrawal, psychosis or another immediate custody concern, call 812-482-3522, state that it is urgent and ask staff to document a welfare/clinical message. The jail does not publish a dedicated mental-health family line or confirmation procedure.

LifeSpring at 480 Eversman Drive, 812-482-3020, and its Hope Center at 812-562-HOPE (4673) are community resources, not proof of jail treatment or eligibility.

Sources: LifeSpring Health Systems — Locations · LifeSpring — Open Access · Dubois County — Sheriff

Ask how to verify medication; do not deliver it unannounced

The jail does not publish who may deliver prescriptions, packaging/pharmacy-label rules, controlled-substance handling, medication continuity or records authorization. Call before bringing medication and be ready with medication name, dose, prescriber, pharmacy and last dose.

For records or consent forms, ask which clinical custodian handles the request; neither the county Health Department nor community hospital should be assumed to hold jail charts.

Sources: Dubois County — Sheriff · Dubois County — Health Department · Deaconess Memorial Medical Center — Jasper

Ask for the incarcerated grievance route and preserve dates

No reviewed public jail page states grievance forms, informal resolution, deadlines, appeal levels, emergency grievances or family submission. The incarcerated person should request the current form and keep dates, names and response copies. A family member may call the Security Center to ask where an external concern is logged, but cannot assume that call exhausts the person’s internal remedies.

Sources: Dubois County — Sheriff · Dubois County — Title VI and ADA

Request disability or language access before the task

Ask the Security Center for the accommodation needed for a visit, call, written communication or release task. The county Title VI/ADA coordinator is Markie Rhodes, 812-481-7046, jmrhodes@duboiscountyin.org. County discrimination complaints may be written or verbal and should be made within 180 days; the county says it investigates within 60 days.

This county civil-rights route does not replace an incarcerated grievance or urgent safety request.

Sources: Dubois County — Title VI and ADA · ADA.gov — File a complaint · Dubois County — Sheriff

Use an urgent safety relay; ask for the current jail PREA route

The reviewed jail pages do not publish a jail PREA coordinator, third-party reporting address, anonymous channel or retaliation procedure. For immediate risk, call the Security Center, state that the concern involves sexual safety or retaliation and ask for supervisory/medical response. For a report that may involve staff, ask for an external or supervisory channel rather than leaving detail with an uninvolved vendor.

Do not use Community Corrections PREA materials as if they governed the jail.

PART 06

Reach the correct public-facing location

Entrance, parking, demand-response transit and seven planning dates

Confirm the public entrance and parking before arrival

Navigate to 255 Brucke Strasse, not the Courthouse or Community Corrections next door. Reviewed official pages do not identify the public lobby door, visitor parking stalls, after-hours entrance, security screening, accessible route or drop-off curb. Call before leaving and ask which door and lot apply to the task.

Sources: Dubois County — Sheriff · Dubois County — Judicial Center/Security Center project · Dubois County — Emergency Management · Dubois County — Community Corrections Center

Reserve Ride Solution in both directions

Ride Solution provides public door-to-door service in Dubois County. Call 812-254-3225. Service is published Monday–Friday, 6 a.m.–6 p.m.; reserve at least 24 hours ahead when possible. Same-day rides depend on space and may add a fee.

Published base fares are $2 in-town, $4 in-county and $6 county-to-county, plus $1 per additional stop, exact change; confirm live fare. Give 255 Brucke Strasse and reserve the return. No fixed jail stop or exact secure-entrance curb is published.

Sources: Ride Solution — public transit · Ride Solution — Contact · Ride Solution — Schedule a Ride · Ride Solution — Fares · Ride Solution — Passenger Information · INDOT — Public Transit Systems

Treat seven dates as planning checks, not bookings

For September 30 and October 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8, 2026, the published weekday window is 6 a.m.–6 p.m. Each ride remains unbooked and capacity-dependent. Confirm holiday/weather changes, accessibility, exact pickup time, the correct public curb and the return trip with dispatch.

Sources: Ride Solution — Schedule a Ride · Ride Solution — Passenger Information · Ride Solution — Contact

Back to guide contents ↑
PART 07

Use local supports without crossing facility boundaries

Food, lodging, exclusions and victim safety

Use nearby food only as a same-day planning option

Official business pages list Subway at 620 W 6th Street, 812-481-2700, and Schnitzelbank at 393 3rd Avenue, 812-482-2640. These are community businesses, not jail vendors.

Check live hours, accessibility and transportation before leaving the jail area; do not rely on a posted restaurant hour for a time-critical visit.

Sources: Subway — 620 West 6th Street · Schnitzelbank — Contact

Confirm lodging price and accessibility directly

Clarion Pointe is listed at 272 Brucke Strasse, adjacent in the same corridor; Hampton Inn Jasper is at 355 Third Avenue, 812-481-1888. Neither is affiliated with the jail.

Confirm rate, taxes, cancellation, parking, accessibility, distance to the correct jail entrance and late arrival directly. Proximity does not mean a safe pedestrian route is documented.

Sources: Choice Hotels — Clarion Pointe Jasper · Hilton — Hampton Inn Jasper · Dubois County — Sheriff

Keep adjacent and outside systems separate

257 Brucke Strasse is Dubois County Community Corrections, a separate 170-bed residential/work-release, home-detention and pretrial system. Emergency Management is a county office at the 255 campus, not a custody unit. The Courthouse and Probation are at One Courthouse Square. Municipal police, youth custody, IDOC, BOP and ICE systems have different rules.

Do not import Community Corrections PREA, visitation, release or program rules into the adult Sheriff jail guide.

Sources: Dubois County — Community Corrections Center · Dubois County — Emergency Management · Dubois County — Judicial Center/Security Center project · Dubois County — Probation Department · Indiana DOC — Find an incarcerated person · Federal Bureau of Prisons — Find an inmate · ICE — Online Detainee Locator

Use victim notification and safety channels separately

Indiana SAVIN/VINE provides custody-event notification; it does not guarantee exact release time. Dubois County Victim Assistance publishes SAVIN help at 866-891-0330 and Crisis Connection’s 24-hour hotline at 800-245-4580. Call 911 for immediate danger.

Do not give a protected address or safety plan to an incarcerated person, public roster or unrelated vendor.

Facility record / Indiana

By capacity it is the 41st-largest of the 49 county or city jail records listed for Indiana with a published capacity.

Where this record came from. The contact, status and security fields, with capacity and population, come from the HIFLD and Federal Bureau of Prisons directory release refreshed February 2026. They describe the record, not today’s population. Check the facility’s current official website.

Finding someone held here

Use the county system for a recent arrest. A state corrections search covers people in state custody. It generally will not list someone booked into a county jail this week. Bookings, bail, release, and visiting are all handled by Dubois County Sheriff’s Office.

Before you travel, pay, or mail anything

Get two things first: which facility the person is actually in, and their booking or ID number. Almost nothing works without them. Then check this facility’s current instructions — rules and service providers change.

Clear information.
Clear boundaries.

Jail411 is an independent information resource for families and friends. We are not a government agency, jail operator, law firm or live custody-records service.

Can Jail411 tell me if someone is in custody right now?

No. Jail411 does not hold live custody records. Use the official locator for the county, state, federal or ICE system that has the person; start here if you do not know which.

Does posting bond mean the person comes home?

Not always. A probation or parole hold, another county's warrant or an immigration detainer can keep someone in custody after bond is posted. Ask the jail what holds are on the booking before you pay.

What should I confirm before visiting?

The person's current facility, the visiting schedule, approval requirements, accepted identification and arrival instructions. Check the facility page and its official sources before you travel.

What if I find something that needs correcting?

Send us the page and the detail that needs attention. Include the official source when you have one. Do not send private booking documents or other sensitive personal information.
