If you have a friend or family member who has been incarcerated in Ohio, you may be wondering how you can find them and stay in touch. Fortunately, there are several options available for locating inmates in Ohio correctional facilities, including state prisons, federal prisons, and county jails. 

The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) is responsible for maintaining state prisons in Ohio. This includes overseeing the custody, care, and treatment of inmates, as well as providing rehabilitation programs to help offenders successfully re-enter society. 

There are 27 state prisons in Ohio, including the Ohio State Penitentiary, the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility, and the Marion Correctional Institution. If you know the name of the prison where your loved one is being held, you can contact the prison directly for information about their status and visitation policies. 

You can also use the ODRC's online inmate search tool to locate inmates in Ohio state prisons. This database allows you to search for inmates by name or offender number and provides information on their location, sentence length, and release date. 

If your loved one has been sentenced to a federal prison in Ohio, you can use the Federal Bureau of Prisons' (BOP) inmate locator tool to find them. This database allows you to search for inmates by name, age, race, and gender, as well as their current location and release date. 

There are two federal prisons in Ohio: the Federal Correctional Institution in Elkton and the Federal Correctional Institution in Morgantown. These facilities house male and female inmates with varying levels of security. 

County jails in Ohio are managed by the local sheriff's office or the county government. If your loved one is being held in a county jail, you can contact the sheriff's office or the county clerk of courts for information on their location and status. 

Many county jails also have online inmate search tools that allow you to locate inmates by name, booking date, or release date. Some examples of county jails in Ohio include the Franklin County Jail, the Hamilton County Justice Center, and the Cuyahoga County Jail. 

The Victim Information and Notification Everyday (VINE) platform is a free service that allows you to receive updates on the custody status of offenders in Ohio. This includes notifications of their release or transfer to another facility. 

To use VINE, you can register online or by phone and provide the name or offender number of the inmate you wish to track. You can then choose to receive notifications by phone, email, or text message.
