Switzerland County Jail — Vevay, Indiana

The active adult Sheriff jail is Switzerland County Jail / Detention Center at the Sheriff's official 405 Liberty Street, Vevay, IN 47043. Use the direct jail line 812-427-2057; 812-427-3636 is the Sheriff's main number. A third-party 305 Liberty Street listing conflicts with official sources and should not be used for travel or mail. The 2023 average daily population of 39 is workload evidence, not current capacity.

No live Switzerland County roster was verified on the official Sheriff site. Call 812-427-2057 with the full legal name, spelling variants and date of birth; save the booked name, booking identifier, housing, charges, court and bond details staff confirms before traveling, mailing or paying.

Use Indiana SAVIN for notification and MyCase for filed court events, then call the jail. A missing or stale result can reflect booking delay, release, hospital care, youth placement or transfer.

The official August 14, 2013 page says video visits run daily 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., no contact visits are allowed, and each resident and visitor is limited to one 30-minute visit per day. Call 812-427-2057 before planning because the county does not publish booking method, lead time, location or a later revision date.

The dated rule allows one 30-minute visit per resident and visitor per day, says all visits are video, and warns they may be recorded and monitored. It does not say whether visits are remote or at a lobby terminal, whether limits vary by housing, or whether legal visits follow this rule. Confirm the specific session before paying or traveling.

The 2013 page bars a former Switzerland County Jail resident until 45 days after release and bars anyone with known pending criminal charges or on probation or parole.

The dated rule permits a visitor under 18 only with a parent or guardian or proof of marriage to the resident.

Official pages say video visitation but name no provider, website, app, remote option, account fields, lead time, price or support number.

The dated page says attorney-client correspondence is opened in the resident's presence. It also listed cash and money orders among items that could be mailed; do not treat that as a current safe instruction until 812-427-2057 confirms payee, memo, receipt and whether cash is still accepted. Counsel should confirm legal marking and confidential delivery directly.

A family relationship does not itself authorize clinical disclosure. Switzerland County publishes no jail release-of-information form, medical-record address or response deadline.

The jail does not publish its resident grievance form, filing deadline, response time, emergency grievance or appeal levels.

Switzerland County Probation at 212 W Main Street is a court-supervision alternative, not the jail.
