This facility is for adult inmates.

The Floyd County IN Jail is a medium-security 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, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the New Albany Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

The Floyd County Jail is the largest building owned by the Floyd County Government. It is 256,000 square feet and contains 828 beds. The jail serves Floyd County, The City of Rome, and Cave Spring housing pre-trial detainees as well as county-sentenced and state-sentenced inmates. The current jail was built in 1982 and was renovated in 1996 as a result of a special purpose local option sales tax (SPLOST). The jail facility continues to utilize SPLOST funds to improve infrastructure issues through the Jail Infrastructure Restoration Project (JIRP).
