Active adult jail
Use Sullivan County Jail at 77 E Justice Dr., Sullivan, IN 47882 for current adult Sheriff-jail custody. The county jail page and Sheriff page publish that address and 812-268-4308. A separate administration page still lists the Sheriff's Office at 24 S State St.; do not use that administrative address as the jail arrival or inmate-mail address. The administration page names Sheriff Jason Bobbitt.

Capacity evidence is dated and conflicting
Do not publish a current capacity. A March 16, 2024 open-house report said 197 beds, the construction manager describes a 200-bed housing pod, and a detention supplier describes room for 190 people. These are project or opening-era figures, not a current licensed or operational count. Ask the jail at 812-268-4308 if capacity matters for a legal or placement question.

Confirm custody
Start with the JailTracker link published by Sullivan County, then verify that the record is for Sullivan County, Indiana and retain the displayed booking or case identifiers before paying any vendor. If the person is absent, check spelling and recent transfers rather than assuming release. The operator-linked roster returned a 502 error in the review browser on October 1, 2026, so the jail phone is an essential fallback.

No-result and transfer checks
Call 812-268-4308 with the person's full legal name and date of birth when JailTracker fails or gives no reliable match. Check Indiana MyCase for the court and case number, SAVIN for custody notifications, Indiana DOC only after a state transfer, and the federal or immigration locators only when that custody is plausible. Do not pay a communications account until the facility is confirmed.

Use task-specific contacts
Use 812-268-4308 for the jail, custody, visit approval and local operating questions. InmateSales visit help is 866-340-7879. The county's phone, Chirp and AXXS Mini funding pages publish 702-829-3001. Commissary card deposits by phone use 855-836-3364. Court records go to the Clerk at 812-268-4657; do not ask a payment vendor to interpret a release order.

Visits and communication
Use these 10 locally researched topics in sequence and confirm every exception.
Create and approve the visit account
Both onsite and remote visits are visitor-scheduled through InmateSales. Create or sign in, choose New Purchase, select Sullivan County Indiana, choose the visit product, enter the requested personal details, purchase minutes and schedule. A new account must be approved by jail staff before a visit can occur. The county requires the correct name, address, birthday and a valid legal ID for the account.
Sources: Sullivan County — Jail Visitation · InmateSales
Published visit scope and unknown rules
The county confirms onsite and remote video visitation, not contact visiting. It does not publish current universal days, hours, check-in cutoff, housing-unit schedule, visitor-list rule, conduct standard or cancellation consequence. Treat the time offered in the approved InmateSales scheduler as provisional and confirm local access at 812-268-4308 before travel.
Sources: Sullivan County — Jail Visitation · Sullivan County — Jail
Minors and guardians
No current county page states whether minors may visit, what proof of relationship is required, or which adult must accompany them. Before adding a child to a booking, ask 812-268-4308 about age, birth-certificate or guardianship documents and whether every child counts toward a session limit. Do not rely on rules copied from another Sullivan County jail.
Sources: Sullivan County — Jail Visitation · Sullivan County — Jail
Dress, belongings and infant supplies
The county visit page does not publish a dress code, property-locker rule, permitted keys, infant supplies or screening process. Ask the jail before arrival and bring only the approved legal ID unless staff confirms more. A vendor screen showing an appointment does not waive local security rules.
Sources: Sullivan County — Jail Visitation · Sullivan County — Jail
Duration, frequency and exceptions
No current operator source states a universal visit duration, frequency, advance-booking window, free onsite allowance, long-distance exception, disability exception or religious exception. Use only the choices shown after account approval, save the confirmation, and call 812-268-4308 for an exception before purchasing remote minutes.
Sources: Sullivan County — Jail Visitation · Sullivan County — Jail
Prevent and resolve failed video visits
Use the Inmate Sales App on an Apple mobile device; the county directs Windows and Mac computers and Android mobile devices to Chrome. Confirm a working camera, speaker and high-speed internet, sign in before the appointment and keep the receipt and error screen. Call 866-340-7879 for the friends/family visit account; call 812-268-4308 when approval, housing status or a local cancellation is the issue. The county publishes no refund rule.
Sources: Sullivan County — Jail Visitation · InmateSales · Sullivan County — Jail
Counsel and professional visits
The family InmateSales instructions do not establish attorney, clergy, consular or other professional-visit procedures. Professionals should call 812-268-4308, identify their role and ask about credentials, confidential meeting method, scheduling and document exchange. Counsel should not buy a family video product as a substitute for a confidential legal visit without confirmation.
Sources: Sullivan County — Jail Visitation · Sullivan County — Jail
Fund phone time without mixing accounts
A resident may buy phone time from commissary funds at the kiosk. Family may fund through the CPC lobby kiosk with cash or credit card, InmateSales by credit card, or 702-829-3001 by credit card; transaction fees apply. The county also says the family can use those channels to place prepaid money on one phone number so calls are limited to that number. Confirm the selected product before paying.
Sources: Sullivan County — Purchasing Phone Time · InmateSales
Phone connection and account failures
The county does not publish call hours, rates, blocked-number steps, three-way-call rules, transfer handling or refunds. For funding or account trouble use 702-829-3001 and retain the receipt. For a local restriction, housing move or inability to place any call, contact 812-268-4308. Do not move money between phone, Chirp, AXXS Mini, visit and commissary products unless the provider confirms that exact transfer.
Sources: Sullivan County — Purchasing Phone Time · Sullivan County — Purchasing Chirps · Sullivan County — Purchasing AXXS Mini Time · Sullivan County — Jail
Email, Chirps and AXXS Minis
The county jail page links InmateSales as “Email an Inmate” and separately publishes funding instructions for Chirps and AXXS Mini time. Each uses the CPC lobby kiosk, InmateSales or 702-829-3001, with fees. The county does not publish content limits, delivery timing, photo availability, device access or refunds; verify the product shown for Sullivan County Indiana before paying.

Mail and money
Use these 6 locally researched topics in sequence and confirm every exception.
Personal mail remains unverified
Do not infer a personal-mail policy from the street address. The county publishes 77 E Justice Drive for the facility and expressly allows a U.S. Postal money order in the resident's name to that address, but it does not publish a current personal-letter format, resident ID requirement, return-address rule, inspection process or rejected-mail disposition. Call 812-268-4308 before mailing correspondence.
Sources: Sullivan County — Jail · Sullivan County — Commissary Deposits
Legal mail is separate
No county source located in this review publishes the legal-mail address, required attorney markings, privileged inspection process or delivery route. Counsel and courts should confirm those details directly with 812-268-4308 before sending deadlines or originals. The commissary money-order instruction does not prove that legal mail uses the same workflow.
Sources: Sullivan County — Jail · Sullivan County — Commissary Deposits
Books, photos and packages
The operator does not publish current rules for books, magazines, photos, greeting cards, packages, publisher-only shipments, hardcover limits or returned originals. Do not order merchandise based on a commercial jail directory. Ask 812-268-4308 for the exact current format, approved sender and rejection handling before purchase.
Sources: Sullivan County — Jail
Deposit to commissary
The county publishes four commissary paths: the lobby kiosk with cash or credit card, JailFunds online with a credit card, 855-836-3364 with a credit card, or a U.S. Postal money order mailed in the resident's name to 77 E Justice Dr., Sullivan, IN 47882. Transaction fees apply to electronic methods. Checks are not accepted. Confirm identity in JailTracker or by phone before paying.
Sources: Sullivan County — Commissary Deposits · JailFunds · Sullivan County — Jail · Sullivan County JailTracker
Keep money products separate
Commissary uses JailFunds and 855-836-3364; phone, Chirp and AXXS Mini use InmateSales and 702-829-3001; bond/tax warrants use a separate county-linked GovPayNet surface. A correct resident and facility match is required before each payment. The county does not publish limits, posting times, refunds, chargeback rules or remaining-balance handling, so save every receipt and contact the responsible provider first.
Sources: Sullivan County — Commissary Deposits · Sullivan County — Purchasing Phone Time · Sullivan County — Purchasing Chirps · Sullivan County — Purchasing AXXS Mini Time · GovPayNet
Indigent supplies and medical charges
No current county source describes indigent hygiene, writing supplies, postage, commissary eligibility, medical copays or debt deductions. The resident should request the local procedure inside the jail; family can ask 812-268-4308 which office handles the question. Do not assume that lack of funds stops an urgent health request.
Sources: Sullivan County — Jail · Indiana Jail Standards
Health and rights
Use these 5 locally researched topics in sequence and confirm every exception.
Urgent and routine health communication
The county does not identify a jail medical contractor or a family health-message line. For imminent danger call 911 and also alert 812-268-4308 with the resident's full name, the specific risk and a callback number. For non-emergency medication, mental-health, glasses or dental information, ask the jail how the resident must request care and how a clinician can receive outside records. Privacy law may limit what staff can disclose to family.
Sources: Sullivan County — Jail · HHS health-information privacy · Sullivan County Health Department · Sullivan County Community Hospital
Resident grievance
No public Sullivan jail source states the resident grievance form, filing channel, deadline, appeal or emergency path. The resident should request the current grievance procedure inside the jail and keep dates and response copies. A family complaint to the Sheriff is not automatically a substitute and may not preserve an internal deadline.
Sources: Sullivan County — Jail · Indiana Jail Standards
External operational complaint
For an operational issue, contact the Sheriff's Office at 812-268-4308 or sheriff@sullivancounty.in.gov and state the resident name, date, unit if known, requested remedy and safe callback method. Use the Sheriff reports page only for its published records function. Emergencies, resident grievances, PREA reports, ADA requests and court filings are separate channels.
Sources: Sullivan County Sheriff's Office · Sullivan County Sheriff — Obtaining Reports · Sullivan County — Jail
Disability accommodation
Federal Title II explains the public-entity duty, but Sullivan County does not publish a jail-specific request form, coordinator, response time or appeal. Call 812-268-4308 before a visit and describe the functional need and requested accommodation. Ask which official receives a written request and how an urgent communication need is handled; do not treat the county website accessibility page as the jail procedure.
Sources: U.S. DOJ Title II primer · Sullivan County accessibility statement · Sullivan County — Jail
Sexual safety and PREA
No local public source located here gives an outside Sullivan County Jail PREA reporting number, third-party channel or retaliation contact. In immediate danger call 911 and notify 812-268-4308; ask the jail for the confidential local reporting method. The national PREA Resource Center directory can help identify reporting information but is not itself the jail's investigation office.

Court and release
Use these 5 locally researched topics in sequence and confirm every exception.
Find the controlling case
Use Indiana MyCase to identify the court, case number, next hearing and filed entries. Sullivan County has Circuit and Superior Courts at the courthouse; the Clerk at 812-268-4657 handles records, while the jail handles custody. A roster or vendor screen does not replace a filed order, and court staff cannot give legal advice.
Sources: Indiana MyCase · Sullivan County Circuit Court · Sullivan County Superior Court · Sullivan County Clerk's Office
Counsel and public-defense questions
Ask the court or Clerk which attorney is appointed in the specific case and confirm through MyCase when available. The county pages reviewed do not publish a single public-defender intake number. Do not ask the Prosecutor to provide defense advice; its 812-268-6008 office is a separate prosecution and victim-services function. Private counsel should arrange confidential jail access directly.
Sources: Indiana MyCase · Sullivan County Clerk's Office · Sullivan County Prosecutor's Office · Sullivan County — Jail
Bond and release orders
First verify the amount, case number, holds and court conditions in MyCase and with the Clerk or jail. The Sheriff's site links GovPayNet for “Bond Out and Tax Warrants,” but does not publish the local pay-location code, accepted in-person instruments, card fee, hours, refund route or whether every bond is eligible online. Confirm at 812-268-4308 before payment and keep the receipt; only the filed order controls release.
Sources: Sullivan County Sheriff's Office · GovPayNet · Indiana MyCase · Sullivan County Clerk's Office · Sullivan County — Jail
Property release
No current county page publishes who may collect property, required authorization or ID, pickup location, hours, storage deadline or unclaimed-property rule. Call 812-268-4308 before travel with the resident's name and ask what signed authorization is needed. Do not assume the visit lobby or the old administrative address handles property.
Sources: Sullivan County — Jail · Sullivan County Sheriff — Administration
Release and pickup planning
The jail does not publish release time, exit door, pickup curb, discharge medication, clothing, remaining-money method or transport assistance. Confirm the order and holds, then call 812-268-4308 shortly before travel. Arrange a flexible driver who can wait offsite until staff identifies the safe pickup point; do not promise a time or rely on an unverified transit ride.
Sources: Sullivan County — Jail · Indiana MyCase
Travel and local help
Use these 6 locally researched topics in sequence and confirm every exception.
Arrive at the current jail
Navigate to 77 E Justice Dr., Sullivan, IN 47882 and verify the destination by the facility name, not merely “Sheriff's Office.” The separate administration page lists 24 S State St., while the current jail and main Sheriff pages use Justice Drive. The county does not publish the visitor entrance, check-in desk or security sequence, so confirm at 812-268-4308 before travel.
Sources: Sullivan County — Jail · Sullivan County Sheriff's Office · Sullivan County Sheriff — Administration
Parking and accessible path
No official source reviewed names a jail visitor lot, accessible stall, overflow area, towing rule or step-free route from parking to check-in. Call 812-268-4308 and ask for the approved lot and entrance before driving. Do not use courthouse parking instructions or map imagery as proof of jail access.
Sources: Sullivan County — Jail · Sullivan County Sheriff's Office
No verified public transit to the jail
No current official source establishes public transit service to 77 E Justice Drive. INDOT's current system directory does not identify a Sullivan County operator, and Thrive West Central's current transportation page expressly lists Clay, Parke, Vermillion and Vigo counties—not Sullivan. No stop, demand-response eligibility, fare, reservation window, final walk or seven-day service calendar is published for this jail. Arrange a confirmed ride and call 812-268-4308 about release pickup.
Sources: INDOT Indiana public transit systems · Thrive West Central rural transportation · Sullivan County — Jail
Mobility and release transportation
Because no Sullivan jail transit service is verified, do not refer a wheelchair user or released person to Thrive as if coverage were established. Ask 812-268-4308 whether the jail has a current accessible pickup procedure or approved local resource. Indiana 211 can search current community options at 2-1-1 or 866-211-9966, but a referral is not a guaranteed ride and must be confirmed for the date, origin and mobility need.
Sources: Sullivan County — Jail · Indiana 211 · Indiana FSSA food-assistance map · Thrive West Central rural transportation
Food and practical local help
The Sullivan County Tourism Commission maintains a current food directory and can be reached at 812-905-0131 at 25 S Main St. It lists downtown Sullivan options, but Jail411 does not assume hours, cost, accessibility or availability; call the business directly. For food assistance rather than visitor dining, Indiana FSSA directs families to Indiana 211 at 2-1-1 or 866-211-9966.
Sources: Discover Sullivan — Food and Drinks · Indiana FSSA food-assistance map
Lodging for a family visit
The county tourism directory lists local lodging and advises calling smaller properties because hours and seasons change. One direct standard-room option is Days Inn by Wyndham Sullivan, 907 West SR 154, 812-638-4209. Confirm same-day availability, price, check-in ID, accessibility and transport before travel; the jail does not endorse or arrange lodging.

Programs and boundaries
Use these 4 locally researched topics in sequence and confirm every exception.
Jail programs remain unverified
No current jail page publishes education, treatment, religious services, work assignments, tablets for coursework or enrollment contacts. The resident should ask classification or program staff inside the jail. Sullivan County Community Corrections is a separate office at 812-268-0941 and must not be described as an in-jail program or automatic release option.

Build a release plan with direct contacts
For behavioral health, Hamilton Center's Sullivan office is at 2134 Mary Sherman Dr., 812-268-6376; its 24-hour crisis line is 800-742-0787. Indiana 211 can search food, shelter and transport. Sullivan County Public Library at 100 S Crowder St., 812-268-4957 can support computer and information access. Indiana BMV and Social Security publish ID-replacement paths. These are community resources, not proof of a jail discharge plan.

Keep nearby systems separate
This guide covers the adult Sheriff jail at 77 E Justice Drive. Community Corrections and Probation are separate supervision offices; Circuit and Superior Courts and the Clerk control court functions; Wabash Valley Correctional Facility is an Indiana state prison near Carlisle. Juvenile, municipal, hospital, federal, immigration, private, transitional and former facilities require their own confirmation. Never transfer this jail's rules to those systems.

Preserve a family case record
Save the legal name and date of birth, JailTracker or case identifiers, court and case number, housing information if confirmed, every vendor product, receipt, scheduled visit, support ticket and the name/date of any jail confirmation. Use MyCase for filed court entries and the Sheriff's obtaining-reports page for its records function. The JailTracker refresh interval is not published, and the linked roster failed during this review, so date every screenshot and recheck before acting.

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 Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office.
Call this facility directly: (812) 268-4308
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.
