Finding Someone in Custody in New Albany
The county jail, run by the Floyd County Sheriff's Office, holds everyone kept in custody after an arrest in New Albany, from every agency.
SearchSystems opened and checked the jail page of the Floyd County Sheriff's Office at in.gov/counties/floyd/department/sheriffs-department (page title: Floyd County: Sheriff's Department), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on October 4, 2026.
That page is the office's jail information page rather than a roster.
