Ohio Inmate Search

Ohio
Updated on: December 12, 2022

Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections offers details on incarcerated inmates, those on parole, and escapees. To perform the search, visit the DOC inmate website to initiate the search. The DOC offender search has the following searchable options;

Search by Name

You can find an inmate using the offender's first or last name. Using both names assists; you narrow down the search instead of the first name only. In addition, the search will offer you a list of incarcerated inmates with similar names.

Search by County

The state prisoner lookup categorizes offenders according to the county commissioner. Combining the search criteria with the name search will assist you in getting more specific results.

Search by Residential County or Zip Code

The search criteria will only provide results of offenders under APA supervision, such as parole violators and parole.

Search by Offender Number

You can use the offender's DOC number to perform the search. The offender numbers have a prefix that categorizes offenders by gender. The offender's number must have six digits; if the number has fewer digits, you should add zeros at the beginning.

Jail Inmate Search

You can find an inmate held in Ohio facilities using the inmate search tool available on the DRC website. To use the search tool, you must provide the inmate's name and the DOC number. Alternatively, you can contact the facility directly or the sheriff's office to find out if an inmate is incarcerated in any Ohio facility.

Sex Offender Search

The Ohio Revised Code in section 2950.01 defines a sex offender as an individual convicted of or pleads guilty to committing a sexually oriented crime. The state's sex offender registry is run by the Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), a division of the Ohio Attorney General's Office. As required by the law, all sex offenders must register with the law enforcement agency and report to the sheriff's office when there is a change in their schooling information, employment details, and address.

To find sex offenders in your neighborhood, visit the Ohio sex offender registry website. The sex offender registry contains details on convicted sexual offenders, child-victim offenders, and predators. To initiate the search, you must provide the offender's name, address, or county. In return, you will obtain the offender's details such as gender, arrests, photographs, fingerprints, address, physical description, release date, court date, bookings, bond amount, sex crime committed, and facility incarcerated.

Locating ICE Detainee

The ICE officers can make arrests in different places, such as homes, businesses, and courthouses. A loved one can end up in the ICE for different reasons, such as entering the country illegally if the judgment hasn't been given out on their political asylum cases, following orders given by a judge for their deportation, or while a removal proceeding is pending.

Using the ICE Detainee Locator System, you can find a loved one held in ICE custody. However, if the detainee is below the age of 18 years, you may not get the information from the search. Instead, you can contact the local field office to know the detainee's whereabouts.

The following are the two searchable methods;

Search by A-Number

Underneath the language section bar, you can search for a loved one using their Alien Registration Number and their country of birth. You can find the A-Number on different immigration documents such as the work permit, immigrant fee handouts, passport visa stamps, and green cards. If the A-Number has fewer digits, you should add zeros at the beginning for better results.

Search by Biographical Information

If you don't know the detainee's A-Number, you can use the detainee's name to search. The detainee's name should be an exact match. If you experience challenges during the search, you should try checking out for misspellings and adding/removing a hyphen, versions, or reversed names.
