Identity and active adult jail
The active adult Sheriff jail is Pike County Jail in the Pike County Sheriff's Office at 100 South 4th Street, Petersburg, IN 47567. The current official main line is 812-354-6024. Use this destination only after the live roster or staff confirms present Pike County custody; do not transfer rules from namesake Pike County facilities in other states.

Find a person in current custody
Use the official Sheriff inmate search. Each result can show booking date, arrest number, age, race, gender and charges. Save the exact booked name and arrest number, then call 812-354-6024 before travel, mail, payment or a visit because the roster does not publish its refresh interval.

No-result, release and transfer troubleshooting
A blank result can mean a spelling or alias problem, booking delay, release, hospital care, youth custody or transfer. Retry name variants, check MyCase and SAVIN, then call 812-354-6024. Use IDOC only for state custody, BOP only for federal custody and ICE only when immigration custody is plausible.

Use the right contact
Call 812-354-6024 for Pike custody, local approval, mail, medication, property and release questions. Use CPC/InmateSales for its account or session problems, JailATM only for the transaction selected on that platform, the Clerk at 812-354-6025 for court records, and 911 for an immediate outside emergency.

Visits and communication
Use these 7 locally researched topics in sequence and confirm every published exception.
Set up and verify a video visit
The Sheriff's indexed official visitation evidence assigns video visits to Combined Public Communications through InmateSales. Create the visitor account, select the exact Pike County facility and booked person, keep the approval and reservation, then call 812-354-6024 because the live route is currently displaying another page's content.
Sources: Pike County Sheriff's Office inmate visitation · InmateSales / Combined Public Communications · Pike County Sheriff's Office home and contact
Onsite and remote visit limits
The indexed Sheriff policy says onsite lobby video visits are free, offsite visits charge a fee, and each person can receive two no-cost visits per week. The incarcerated person must communicate the assigned daily hours and be at the kiosk; staff will not remind them. Confirm duration, current housing schedule and holiday changes before booking.
Sources: Pike County Sheriff's Office inmate visitation · Pike County Sheriff's Office inmate mail
Identification, minors and special visits
Every visitor needs an InmateSales account, and an unauthorized visitor can end the session. Pike does not currently publish accepted identification, minor supervision, custody papers, infant supplies, clothing, belongings, disability exceptions, clergy, attorney-video or long-distance exceptions. Call 812-354-6024 before travel or adding another person.
Sources: Pike County Sheriff's Office inmate visitation · InmateSales / Combined Public Communications · U.S. Department of Justice ADA guidance
Technical preparation
Use a charged device with reliable internet, camera, microphone and speaker; test audio and video, use a private well-lit setting, and keep the reservation and payment reference. Confirm whether the product says onsite or remote before paying. Do not use JailATM merely because it appears elsewhere on the Sheriff site.
Sources: Pike County Sheriff's Office inmate visitation · InmateSales / Combined Public Communications · Pike County Sheriff's Office inmate communication
Failed, canceled or interrupted sessions
For login, payment, camera, audio or connection problems, save the time, screenshot, device, transaction and session reference and contact InmateSales support at 877-998-5678. For local denial, housing, discipline or kiosk availability call 812-354-6024. Do not assume an automatic refund or replacement visit.
Sources: InmateSales support · Pike County Sheriff's Office inmate visitation · Pike County Sheriff's Office home and contact
Voice calls and account failures
The Sheriff navigation labels a combined commissary/phone page, but its current live body repeats bond information and does not safely establish the current voice product, rates, account type, blocked-number process or refunds. Confirm the voice provider with 812-354-6024 before funding; use 877-998-5678 only when the active product identifies InmateSales.
Sources: Pike County Sheriff's Office inmate commissary / phone calls · InmateSales support · Pike County Sheriff's Office home and contact
Messages, photos and tablets
No current local page safely publishes whether Pike offers electronic messages, photo attachments, tablets, content-review times, device repair or refunds. InmateSales may show products after facility selection, but product availability must be confirmed for the booked person before purchase. A vendor menu is not proof of local access.

Mail, books and money
Use these 6 locally researched topics in sequence and confirm every published exception.
Personal mail preparation
The official live medical route currently displays Pike's mail rules: incoming mail is scanned for electronic delivery, original mail goes into property for return at release, and mail without a legible sender name and return address is returned. Because the content is under the wrong page heading, call 812-354-6024 to confirm the current addressee format at 100 South 4th Street, Petersburg, IN 47567.
Sources: Pike County Sheriff's Office inmate medical · Pike County Sheriff's Office home and contact
Legal and privileged mail
The published mail text says attorney, court and government correspondence is inspected in the person's presence. Counsel should mark privileged mail accurately and confirm the current address, required identifiers and legal-visit procedure with 812-354-6024 before sending a deadline-sensitive document. Families should not mark ordinary mail as legal.
Sources: Pike County Sheriff's Office inmate medical · Pike County Sheriff's Office home and contact · Indiana Public Defender Council
Rejected mail and original items
Mail or a package with prohibited material can be marked return to sender or referred for investigation. The listed prohibitions include Polaroids, nudity or suggestive clothing, drug or gang indicators, images larger than 4x6, sound cards, glitter or glue, loose stamps, copied magazine/newspaper/internet/book material, perfume or foreign odor, lipstick, colored ink, marker or crayon. Ask how to challenge an error; no appeal deadline is published.
Photos, books and packages
Incoming writing must use blue/black ink or standard pencil. The published policy says packages, including books, may be accepted only from Amazon with prior jail-administration approval. Do not order first: call 812-354-6024 to confirm item, quantity, format, content rule, addressee and what happens if the shipment is refused.
Sources: Pike County Sheriff's Office inmate medical · Pike County Sheriff's Office home and contact
Trust, commissary and communication money
The official content says lobby kiosks accept cash or credit/debit cards, do not make change, and money orders or cashier's checks mailed to 100 South 4th Street must be payable to the incarcerated person. The same content points to InmateSales, while JailATM is linked for online bonds and embedded on the communication page. Confirm the exact account and task before every payment.
Sources: Pike County Sheriff's Office inmate visitation · Pike County Sheriff's Office inmate communication · Pike County Sheriff's Office bond information · InmateSales / Combined Public Communications · JailATM
Commissary, packages and indigent supplies
The current Sheriff page does not safely publish commissary order days, delivery schedule, spending cap, debt deductions, approved care packages, indigent hygiene/postage or release-balance procedures. Ask the person to use the jail request system and call 812-354-6024 before selecting a product displayed by InmateSales or JailATM.

Health, disability and safety
Use these 6 locally researched topics in sequence and confirm every published exception.
Prescription glasses, contacts and medication
The official paperwork route currently publishes QCC medical information and lists prescription glasses or contacts and approved prescription medications as accepted items. Call 812-354-6024 before bringing anything to confirm original packaging, drop-off hours, prescriber/pharmacy information and who must approve it. Do not hand medication to a visitor or mail it.
Sources: Pike County Sheriff's Office inmate paperwork · Quality Correctional Care · Pike County Sheriff's Office home and contact
Medical, mental-health and addiction care
The Sheriff identifies Quality Correctional Care as the in-house contractor for medical, mental-health and addiction assessment and care, with a provider, mental-health provider and nursing staff. The incarcerated person requests care through an electronic Sick Call form. No current public page gives response times, copays, formulary or outside-record procedure.
Sources: Pike County Sheriff's Office inmate paperwork · Quality Correctional Care
Urgent health communication
For a life-threatening outside emergency call 911. For an urgent concern about a person in Pike custody, call 812-354-6024, state that it is urgent, give the booked name, symptoms, medication, timing and callback number, and ask that the facts reach custody and medical staff. HIPAA can limit what staff disclose, but families may still provide facts.
Sources: Pike County Sheriff's Office home and contact · Pike County Sheriff's Office inmate paperwork · HHS health-information privacy
Complaints and grievances
No current Pike jail page publishes the internal grievance form, appeal level, deadline, emergency grievance path or outside jail-oversight contact. The incarcerated person should use the jail request/grievance process and keep dates and copies when allowed; family can call 812-354-6024 to ask where a written concern belongs. Do not substitute the county Title VI process for a custody grievance unless staff directs it.
Sources: Pike County Sheriff's Office home and contact · Pike County Title VI implementation plan · Indiana Jail Standards
Disability and communication accommodations
Ask the jail at 812-354-6024 for the custody-specific accommodation channel and describe the functional need, requested modification, visit or service affected and deadline. Pike County's published Title VI/ADA plan lists the county coordinator at 812-354-8448, but it does not replace urgent jail or medical communication. Ride Solution has separate vehicle-access rules.
Sources: Pike County Sheriff's Office home and contact · Pike County Title VI implementation plan · U.S. Department of Justice ADA guidance · Ride Solution general information
Sexual safety and PREA reporting
Pike does not publish a facility-specific confidential PREA reporting number, outside reporting entity or retaliation follow-up on the current site. For immediate danger call 911; otherwise call 812-354-6024 and ask for the current confidential internal and external reporting options. Preserve dates, names and exact words without confronting an alleged perpetrator.

Courts, bond, property and release
Use these 8 locally researched topics in sequence and confirm every published exception.
Court, hearing and order records
Use MyCase for the case number, court, hearing, charge and filed order; do not treat the jail roster as the controlling court record. Pike County Clerk is at 801 E Main Street, Petersburg, IN 47567, 812-354-6025; Circuit Court is 812-354-6026. Confirm public-access limits and certified-copy procedures before travel.
Sources: Indiana MyCase · Pike County Title VI implementation plan · Pike County courthouse directory
Appointed or retained counsel
Ask the court or Clerk which attorney is appointed and use the filed appearance, not a search result, as the controlling contact. Pike does not publish a local public-defender intake line on the reviewed pages. Counsel should confirm confidential visit, phone and legal-mail arrangements directly with 812-354-6024.
Sources: Indiana MyCase · Indiana Public Defender Council · Pike County Title VI implementation plan · Pike County Sheriff's Office home and contact
Bond posting
Pike says felony bonds are set case by case, not by a standardized felony schedule. Bonds can be posted 24 hours a day in person at the Sheriff's Office with cash or credit/debit card, or online through JailATM. A 10% convenience fee is added to debit/credit card payments. Verify the case order, exact amount, name, payment type and holds before paying.
Sources: Pike County Sheriff's Office bond information · JailATM · Indiana MyCase
Bond payment and release problems
Keep the receipt and transaction ID. A successful payment does not prove immediate release: another case, warrant, probation hold, transport, identification check or processing step can remain. Call 812-354-6024 after payment and ask which obligation was credited and whether any hold remains; dispute card or platform errors through the processor shown on the receipt.
Sources: Pike County Sheriff's Office bond information · Indiana MyCase · JailATM · Pike County Sheriff's Office home and contact
Signatures and inmate notary
If a signature is needed, mail the document to the person and have it mailed back; staff do not carry paperwork or verbal messages between the public and incarcerated people. A notary is available onsite for inmate use only. Tell the person not to sign until in the notary's presence, because paperwork signed earlier will not be notarized.
Personal property release
The current page titled Inmate Property displays only paperwork/notary instructions and does not publish who may collect property, identification, authorization form, hours, fees, storage deadline, transfer handling or abandoned-item disposal. Call 812-354-6024 before travel and ask the incarcerated person to initiate any required authorization.
Sources: Pike County Sheriff's Office inmate property · Pike County Sheriff's Office home and contact
Release and pickup planning
No current Pike page publishes routine release blocks, exit door, property/medication handoff, clothing, late-night pickup, transfer notice or discharge-document timing. Confirm custody and estimated readiness with 812-354-6024 shortly before departure; bring photo ID only if staff says it is needed and wait in the location staff designates.
Sources: Pike County Sheriff's Office home and contact · Pike County Sheriff's Office inmate property · Pike County Sheriff's Office inmate paperwork
Public records and factual corrections
Use the roster for current booking information, MyCase for filed court information and the Clerk for certified records. For a factual jail-record or website error, record the URL, date, screenshot and correct identifier and call 812-354-6024. The Sheriff's current site has visible page-label/content mismatches, so preserve the exact route when reporting an error.

Travel, transit and local help
Use these 7 locally researched topics in sequence and confirm every published exception.
Arrival, parking and entrance
The jail/Sheriff destination is 100 South 4th Street in downtown Petersburg. The official site does not identify a visitor lot, accessible stall, entrance door, after-hours buzzer, screening items or final pedestrian path. Before a lobby visit, payment, medication delivery or pickup, call 812-354-6024 for the correct door and parking instruction; do not assume the courthouse entrance.
Sources: Pike County Sheriff's Office home and contact · Pike County Title VI implementation plan
Ride Solution door-to-door planning
Ride Solution's official map includes Pike County. Service is door to door and point deviation, Monday-Friday 6:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m.; call 812-254-3225 at least 24 hours ahead when possible. Vans are first-come, first-served and same-day rides depend on the schedule. No fixed jail stop, exact curb, final walk or guaranteed release pickup is published.
Sources: Ride Solution · Ride Solution general information · INDOT public transit systems
Seven checked service dates
The published weekday calendar supports ordinary service on Thursday 2026-10-01, Friday 2026-10-02, Monday 2026-10-05, Tuesday 2026-10-06 and Wednesday 2026-10-07; Saturday 2026-10-03 and Sunday 2026-10-04 have no regular published service. None is a reservation or jail-door guarantee; call 812-254-3225.
Sources: Ride Solution general information · Ride Solution
Food, health and community contacts
Use Indiana 211 for current food pantry, meal, shelter and crisis openings instead of relying on undated lists. Pike County Health Department is the local public-health contact. For mental-health or substance-use treatment directories use Indiana FSSA. Confirm address, eligibility and hours directly before travel; none of these services has custody authority.
Sources: Indiana 211 · Pike County Health Department · Indiana FSSA mental health and addiction services
Overnight and emergency lodging
No county or Sheriff source establishes a jail-family hotel, shelter, guaranteed late-night room or walking-distance lodging. Search Indiana 211 for emergency shelter and use a current hotel booking channel for commercial lodging; call the property before travel for address, check-in time, identification, accessibility and availability. Pike County's seasonal campground is not a release shelter.
Sources: Indiana 211 · Pike County Parks Department
Reentry and benefit continuity
Before release, ask the person to request identification, court papers, medication continuity, prescriptions, benefit information and the next supervision address. Indiana 211 can screen food, shelter, transport and crisis resources; DFR handles SNAP/Medicaid/TANF, Indiana Medicaid handles coverage questions, BMV handles state ID and SSA handles Social Security card replacement.
Sources: Indiana 211 · Indiana Division of Family Resources · Indiana Medicaid member information · Indiana BMV identification cards · Social Security replacement card · Indiana FSSA mental health and addiction services
Probation, prosecutor and victim services
Probation is a court-supervision office, not the jail; the county directory lists 812-354-8034. The Prosecutor's criminal division is at 801 E Main Street, 3rd Floor, 812-354-8761, Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m., closed 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m. It includes a victim advocate. These offices do not control daily jail operations.

Keep systems and places separate
Pike County Jail is the adult Sheriff jail at 100 South 4th Street. Do not apply this guide to work release, Community Corrections, probation/home detention, youth custody, municipal lockups, IDOC prisons, federal or immigration custody, private contract housing, courts or the prosecutor. Reconfirm the receiving system after every transfer.

Keep provider products separate
CPC/InmateSales is locally evidenced for video visiting and some account funding; JailATM is officially linked for online bond and embedded on the communication page; QCC is the medical contractor; Ride Solution is transportation. None of those relationships proves every product, refund, trust, commissary, voice, mail, release or clinical detail. Confirm the task before paying or disclosing health information.

Final verification checklist
Before acting, recheck custody, exact booked name, arrest or case number, current provider/product, total fee, visitor approval, mail destination, medication acceptance, bond holds, release readiness, entrance and transportation. Keep receipts and screenshots. A current roster or vendor screen can change; a successful transaction is not proof of delivery, approval or release.

Facility record / Indiana
Pike County Jail / Sheriff is a county or city jail in Petersburg, Pike County, Indiana.
Jail411 does not hold custody records. A listing here does not mean anyone is held at this address. Confirm the person’s location with the responsible agency before you travel, send money, or pay for a service.
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 Pike 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.
