Mahoning County Justice Center Inmate Lookup

Mahoning County Justice Center Overview

Mahoning County Justice Center, also described locally as the Mahoning County Jail, is operated by the Mahoning County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff contact material identifies Jerry Greene as sheriff, and the jail sits at 110 Fifth Avenue in downtown Youngstown. For adult custody records, this is the county facility tied to the public Mahoning Sheriff roster at Public Inmate Info. The roster is the county's active inmate search, not a statewide prison locator or a court docket.

The jail holds adult pretrial detainees, sentenced county inmates, and people held for other agencies when those holds are reflected in the county booking system. The research record notes that the sample roster included arresting agencies such as ICE and Youngstown U.S. Marshal Service, which is why some federal or immigration-adjacent holds can appear in the county jail roster. That does not mean every federal, immigration, state-prison, or contract-facility prisoner in Youngstown is listed there.

The sheriff's inmate-information page is the official county gateway for roster, visitation, deposit, phone, and handbook links. The Mahoning County inmate-information page shows those jail-service links in one place.

The screenshot is useful because it shows the Justice Center services are routed through the sheriff's inmate-information page, while the actual public roster opens as a separate inmate-search application.

Mahoning County Justice Center Capacity and Population

The best located official capacity figure is dated, so it should be read carefully. A 2019 ODRC jail inspection snippet stated that the Mahoning County Justice Center had 562 general housing beds, and the inspection-day population was 476. The current county public pages reviewed for this build did not republish a newer rated capacity. On June 24, 2026, the active public roster displayed 515 active records. That is a live roster snapshot, not an official average daily population.

Those two numbers answer different questions. The 562 figure describes inspected general housing capacity. The 515 figure describes how many active roster records were visible on one day. Actual jail operations can be affected by classification, medical housing, administrative segregation, sex separation, maintenance closures, and staffing, so a countywide inmate population paragraph should not treat every general housing bed as equally usable at all times.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Mahoning County Justice Center

Use the county roster for adults currently active in Mahoning County Justice Center custody. The official roster is Public Inmate Info - Mahoning County Sheriff's Office. It is free and does not require a login. The roster says it shows only current active inmates, though it also has report buttons for recent bookings and recent releases. A search can begin with a name, age, status, race, or gender, and at least one criterion must be entered unless the user selects one of the report buttons.

1. Open the public roster at pii.mahoningcountyoh.gov.
2. Search by last name, first name, age, status, race, or gender, or choose Show All Active Inmates.
3. Use sorting controls such as Newest Booking First, Oldest Booking First, Alphabetical by Name, or Newest Release First.
4. Click the person's name to open the detail profile for booking number, booking date, arresting agency, assigned pod, status, security level, offense, bond, and court fields.
5. If the person was sentenced to Ohio prison, search ODRC Offender Search instead of the county jail roster.

For more information than the roster displays, call the jail information line at 330-480-5000, Jail Administration at 330-480-4920, or the Records Division at 330-480-5030. Ohio VINE and the local VINE phone channel at 1-800-770-0192 are separate notification tools, not replacements for the roster.

Mahoning County Justice Center Address and Contact

Use the Justice Center contact channels for current custody, visitation, property, commissary, and facility questions. For formal booking materials that are not available online, the Records Division channel is the better route. Public lobby hours located in the research are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; confirm before traveling because jail schedules and security procedures can change.

Visiting Someone at Mahoning County Justice Center

The official visitation schedule is organized by housing unit and 30-minute blocks. The research source says each inmate is afforded 30 minutes of visiting time per week, and O Pod administrative-segregation visits are scheduled one at a time during assigned hours. Video visits must be approved at least 24 hours in advance and can be scheduled through Securus or Video Visit Anywhere.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Mahoning County Justice Center

The sheriff inmate page links online deposits through JailATM and lists Inmate Commissary at 330-480-4955. The inmate handbook says money is deposited into the inmate account for commissary and any remaining balance is returned on release. During booking, property is inventoried and receipted, while valuables are secured in the property room.

Phone accounts are handled through Securus Technologies. Family or friends can set up accounts at 1-800-844-6591 or securustech.net. Calls are subject to monitoring and recording. The handbook also states that pornographic material or mail that creates a security or safety risk may be censored, packages require pre-approval, and family or friends may not send clothing, shoes, books, or similar items from home unless the jail has approved it.

Booking and Intake at Mahoning County Justice Center

Booking at the Justice Center is the administrative process after an adult arrest. The inmate handbook says the process is standard for all people, regardless of the charge or length of confinement, and it must be completed before release. Booking includes intake questions, photographing, property inventory, and classification into an assigned housing unit. The jail uses minimum, medium, and maximum classifications, and inmates may appeal a classification through request and grievance forms.

The public roster is where much of that booking information becomes visible. A profile can show the inmate number, booking number, arresting agency, booking date, release date if any, assigned location, assigned pod, custody status, security level, offense, conviction type, bond amount, bond type, next court date, and court. A roster charge is not always the final court charge, so court records should be checked separately after arraignment, complaint, indictment, or other formal filing.

About Mahoning County Justice Center

The Justice Center is part of the downtown Youngstown court and jail corridor, near other county offices and court buildings. The jail's records, roster, visitation, phone, property, and commissary details are closely tied to sheriff operations. Current active inmates can be searched online, but older booking materials, removed photos, sealed matters, and records outside the public roster may require a Records Division request under Ohio public-records rules.

The sheriff's mobile app is another local access channel. County material advertises the Mahoning Sheriff app as a way to search and view jail information and local inmates, view most-wanted information, access crash reports, submit tips, and receive alerts. It should be treated as an additional route to jail information, not as a substitute for the official web roster or a court record.
