Facility and guideStreet addressPhone
Orange County Jail →205 E Main Street, Paoli, IN 47454812-723-2417

Local arrests and bookings: Police/court records and jail custody records remain separate; verify the present custodian. Court case and bond: The court controls the order; the Clerk and jail confirm execution/payment steps. South Central Indiana Community Resources: SCICR serves Orange County with community corrections and youth/family programs, but its office and eligibility rules are not Sheriff-jail rules. Pending state transfer: Use the county jail path until transfer is confirmed, then use IDOC. Federal or immigration hold: A hold does not prove BOP or ICE transfer; use federal locators only when transfer is plausible. Health and community providers: Outside providers offer bounded support; they do not set jail rules or disclose custody information. Orange County Transit riders: Transit reservation, fare, assistance and pickup rules apply to riders, not jail operations.

Different custody systems.
Different places to start.

A Orange County arrest usually means the county jail. A state sentence, a federal case or an immigration hold means a different system with its own locator and rules.

Who holds someone arrested in Orange County?

Usually Orange County Jail, (812) 723-2417. The arresting agency books the person and the jail holds them; ask the jail what holds are on the booking before you act on anything.

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, and ask the bondsman what happens if there are, before you pay.

What should I confirm before visiting?

Confirm the person\'s current facility, the visiting schedule, approval requirements, accepted identification and arrival instructions. Check the facility guide before you travel.

What if I find something that needs correcting?

Send us the page and the detail that needs attention. Do not send private booking documents or other sensitive personal information.
