The Floyd County IN Jail is a detention center located at 311 Hauss Sq New Albany, IN which is operated locally by the Floyd County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Floyd County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, New Albany Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for Indiana here.

The current jail was built in 1982 and was renovated in 1996 as a result of a special purpose local option sales tax (SPLOST).
