Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Wabash Valley Correctional Facility
Members of the public can look for someone housed here through the official inmate search link available on this page. State inmate records typically list identifying details such as the person’s name, DOC number, housing location, custody status, sentence information, and offense information. Unlike county jail rosters, state prison listings may not show a local booking date or pending charges unless that information is part of the state record. Records may take several hours or longer to update after a transfer, intake, or status change, so a person may not appear immediately. If you cannot find the inmate, check spelling, try fewer search terms, or contact the facility or Indiana Department of Correction for guidance.
