Locate Jackson County Correctional Facility Inmates

Jackson County Correctional Facility Overview

Jackson County Correctional Facility, commonly called JCCF by the sheriff's office, is operated by the Jackson County Sheriff's Office. Official sheriff material identifies Sheriff Tedd E. Frazier as responsible for the Correctional Facility and dispatching center. ODRC inspection material also refers to the site as Jackson County Jail and classifies it as a full service jail. That classification matters because full service jail standards cover reception, release, classification, security, housing, sanitation, communication, visitation, medical and mental-health services, recreation, discipline, grievances, staffing, and training.

The facility holds adults arrested in Jackson County, pretrial detainees, locally sentenced misdemeanants, people awaiting transport to Ohio prison after sentencing, and people held on court or agency holds when accepted by the jail. It is not an Ohio prison, a BOP facility, or an ICE detention center. Once a person moves to Ohio prison custody, the correct locator becomes ODRC Offender Search. If a person is in federal or immigration custody, the BOP and ICE tools are separate from JCCF.

Jackson County Correctional Facility Population

ODRC's 2025 annual jail inspection gives the most specific facility count in the research file. The inspection was conducted on October 23, 2025, and the letter was dated October 28, 2025. It listed 40 actual general housing beds and 40 as the recommended capacity. On the inspection date, 49 people were incarcerated. ODRC found compliance with 178 standards, including 53 Essential and 125 Important standards, plus one noncompliant Important standard related to sufficient space and day-space documentation.

The inspection still classified the jail as compliant because all Essential standards and at least 90% of Important standards were met. The dayspace deficiency means the facility was operating above the Bureau-recommended capacity, not that every service area failed inspection. For population research, the key point is that JCCF had more people than its recommended general housing capacity on that official inspection date.

Look Up JCCF Inmates

No official public Jackson County Correctional Facility roster was located on the sheriff's current Ohio site. The jail page publishes service rules and directs court-date, bail, and bond questions to Municipal Court or Clerk/Common Pleas records. For a current custody check, use the jail first. For the court case that follows a booking, use the court portals. For sentenced prison custody, use ODRC instead of the jail.

1. Call JCCF at 740-288-1338 and ask whether the person is currently housed, in intake, released, or transferred.
2. Use the full legal name and date of birth if known, since no public booking-number search is available from the official local source set.
3. Check Municipal Court CaseLook for municipal, traffic, misdemeanor, warrant, and preliminary case records.
4. Check Common Pleas CourtView for felony-level docket entries through the Clerk of Courts.
5. Use ODRC Offender Search if the person has been sentenced to Ohio prison.
6. For federal or immigration custody, use BOP or ICE, not the county jail.

Jackson County Correctional Facility Contact

The public address for the sheriff and jail complex is the address to use for lobby, deposits, records questions, and visitor arrival unless staff gives different instructions. The inmate-mail address is a nearby but different Portsmouth Street address, so visitors and mail senders should not treat the two as interchangeable.

Visit Jackson County Correctional Facility

JCCF publishes weekend visitation. Visits are not listed as walk-in visits, and the sheriff page says appointments must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance because space is limited. Each inmate is allowed 30 minutes of visit time. That time can be one 30-minute visit or two 15-minute visits over two days. The source material does not publish remote video visitation, a full dress code, a list of approved identification, a locker policy, or a separate attorney-visit schedule.

Visitors should call JCCF before traveling to confirm identification rules, visitor entry, parking, and any limits that are not listed on the public page.

JCCF Mail Phone Money

Mail to an inmate uses the inmate-mail address, not the public lobby address. The sheriff page says to address mail to Jackson County Correctional Facility, Attn: inmate name, 372 Portsmouth St., Jackson, Ohio 45640. Since February 8, 2021, non-privileged incoming mail, including photographs, has been photocopied, and inmates receive the photocopies. The located source does not publish a detailed legal-mail rule, so privileged-mail questions should be confirmed with the jail.

JCCF Commissary Deposits

Commissary requires a positive balance after the booking and entry pack fees are paid. The booking fee is $20 if booked into the facility, and the entry pack fee is $2 for toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, comb, and deodorant. Orders are sent out Mondays and Thursdays by 9:30 a.m. and delivered Tuesdays and Fridays. No commissary is provided on a national holiday, and a weekender pack costs $12 when available and when the inmate has money.

Booking at Jackson County Correctional Facility

Booking begins after an arrest or warrant action when the person is taken to JCCF and accepted for local jail custody. The public source does not disclose a booking-number format, pod names, property-release forms, or detailed medical-screening steps. It does show that fees are assessed, phone access is available through pod phones, and court dates or bond information should be checked through the court systems. ODRC full service jail standards supply the broader intake context by requiring standards for reception and release, classification, housing, communication, medical and mental-health services, grievances, and staffing.

Municipal arraignments are normally listed for Thursdays at 8:30 a.m., 10 a.m., and 1 p.m. Incarcerated arraignments may be held during regular court hours as the schedule permits. Felony-level cases can begin with lower-court or preliminary proceedings before moving into Common Pleas Court, so a jail booking label and the later filed court charge may not match word for word.

Jackson County Jail Conditions

The most recent official jail-condition source in the research file is the 2025 ODRC inspection. It found one Important-standard deficiency under the housing rule because the facility was above the recommended capacity and did not provide adequate day space for each incarcerated person. It did not list noncompliant Essential standards. No official DOJ consent decree, jail closure notice, new jail construction page, or recent death-in-custody release specific to Jackson County was located during the research pass.
