Harrison County Jail Roster Overview
The official county channel is the Harrison County Current Inmates page, which links to an inmate report PDF. That report is the local roster for the Harrison County Jail. It is free and does not require a login. The inspected report was dated June 22, 2026, and listed a total of 21 people. It was not a vendor database with sort buttons, last-name fields, or individual profile pages.
The report should be treated as a current custody source. It can show people held on new charges, warrants, probation violations, no-bond orders, judge-set bond, and local sentence notes. A person may be missing because they have been released, transferred, sentenced to state prison, moved into federal custody, or held under an immigration process. Those cases require a fallback chain instead of repeated searches of the same PDF.
The county jail page and inmate report also reflect a local address transition. The current report lists the jail and sheriff complex at 978 East Market St., Cadiz, OH 43907. The sheriff contact page still lists Harrison County Jail at 114 Court St. Call before visiting, mailing, or sending funds.
Use the Harrison County Roster
Harrison County inmate lookup starts with the PDF, not with a search box. The practical task is to open the report, find the name, and then read the row carefully. Charge text may wrap across lines. Bond notes can sit near court labels or sentence notes. Case numbers may appear on some entries but not all.
- Open the sheriff's Current Inmates page and choose the inmate report PDF.
- Use browser or PDF find for the last name. Try alternate spellings if nothing appears.
- Confirm first name, middle name or suffix, arrest date, and court route before relying on the match.
- Read the charge, court, case number, bond, first-appearance, and sentence or release notes together.
- Call (740) 942-2197 or submit a written records request if the report is unclear or the person is not listed.
The county's current-inmates page is the public doorway to the roster. The image below comes from the official Current Inmates page.
The page shows why a searcher should expect a PDF report workflow rather than a live form with first-name and last-name fields.
Harrison County Roster Fields
The Harrison County roster has report fields instead of search fields. There is no login, no registration, and no county fee to open the report. The refresh schedule is not stated. Released-person retention is also not stated, so a current-report search should be followed by a records request or court search when older custody history is needed.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | PDF text | n/a | Last, first format varies; PDF find is the practical search method. |
| Arrest Date | PDF date | n/a | Observed in MM/DD/YY format. |
| Bond Out Date | PDF date or blank | n/a | Blank when not applicable or not available. |
| Charge | PDF text | n/a | May include ORC code, warrant text, or sentence language. |
| Court | PDF text | n/a | Observed values include County, Common Pleas, and Juvenile/Magistrate. |
| Bond | PDF text | n/a | Cash only, cash/surety, 10%, no bond, and judge-set examples were observed. |
Harrison County Inmate Record Details
The report gives enough information to identify a current inmate and understand the legal reason for custody. It does not function like a full jail profile. The inspected text did not show date of birth, full physical description, detailed housing, booking number, home address, or a text-visible mugshot field. That makes name confirmation and case-number matching important.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Person listed in current county jail custody. |
| Arrest Date | Date of arrest or booking into custody. |
| Charge / Warrant / Sentence Text | Legal reason for custody, sometimes with ORC section. |
| Offense Date | Date and time of alleged offense when the report includes it. |
| Court and Case Number | Bridge to CaseLook, County Court, Common Pleas, or clerk records. |
| Bond | Bond type, amount, no-bond status, or set-by-judge language. |
| First Appearance Deadline | Initial court appearance deadline when shown. |
| Release or Serve-Time Note | Sentence service, bond-out, or release timing when listed. |
When Harrison County Inmates Are Missing
A missing name can mean the person is not in the Harrison County Jail. It can also mean the report has not refreshed, the name is spelled differently, the person was released, the person was transferred, or the matter is in another system. Court posting can lag too. Harrison County CaseLook warns that court records may be delayed by at least twenty-four hours between filing or judicial action and online posting.
Lookup order: Check the county inmate report first, then call the jail, search CaseLook, search ODRC for sentenced prison custody, and use BOP or ICE for federal or immigration custody.
For older booking records, request the record from the sheriff's office. The sheriff's FAQ says written report requests take seven to ten business days and should include the report date, report number, or deputy if known. Emailed requests can be provided at no charge when available.
It also helps to separate custody status from case status. A released person may still have an open case in CaseLook. A sentenced person may stop appearing on the Harrison County jail report but appear in ODRC by name or offender number. A federal or immigration hold may not be visible in the local report in a clear field. When the report does not answer the custody question, ask the jail whether the person was released, transferred, or never booked into Harrison County Jail.
Harrison County Jail Contact Card
The Harrison County Sheriff's Office operates the local jail under Sheriff Mark A. Touville. The current inmate report identifies the East Market address for the sheriff and jail complex, while the sheriff contact page still carries the older Court Street jail reference. Use the phone line before visiting because the public entrance, mail handling, and records routing can depend on the current facility setup.

Harrison County Booking Process
Harrison County does not publish a detailed local intake manual on the jail pages reviewed, so the best source is the roster itself paired with Ohio full-service jail standards. A typical local arrest path includes arrest by a sheriff deputy, village officer, trooper, or other authorized agency; transport or citation decision; jail intake if the person is held; identity confirmation; property inventory; search; screening; charge or hold entry; bond status; court routing; and housing assignment.
Ohio Administrative Code 5120:1-8 includes reception and release standards for full-service jails. It also requires sufficient space and maximum-occupancy documentation for housing and holding areas. The Harrison County report shows the public result of intake: arrest date, charge text, offense date when present, court, case number when present, bond terms, and sentence or hold notes.
Some entries are simple. Others combine a warrant, bond note, court label, and sentence text in one block. That layout can make the report harder to read than a vendor roster, but it also gives a compact view of why the person is still in jail. First-appearance deadlines and no-bond entries deserve special attention because they can affect release timing even when a charge looks minor.
Harrison County Jail Visitation Rules
An official Harrison County jail visitation schedule, video-visit vendor, dress code, attorney-visit rule, child-visitor rule, and holiday schedule were not located in the jail pages reviewed. Do not assume a vendor or time slot. Call the jail before traveling or scheduling a visit, and bring government photo ID unless the jail gives different instructions.
| Item | Official Harrison-Specific Finding |
|---|---|
| In-person visitation schedule | Not located in official pages reviewed. |
| Video visitation | Not located. |
| Visitor ID requirements | Not located; call and bring government photo ID. |
| Dress code | Not located. |
| Attorney visits | Not located. |
| Lockdown or holiday rules | Not located. |
Harrison County Inmate Mail
The official mail-scanning PDF says personal mail from family and friends, including letters, pictures, and drawings, will be digitally delivered by tablet. Packages and legal mail should still be sent to the facility. The PDF also says mail must include the full facility name and state, the inmate's unique identifier, and the sender's full name and physical address in the top-left corner.
| Service | Official Finding |
|---|---|
| Personal mail | Digitally delivered by tablet under the mail-scanning notice. |
| Packages | Should still be sent to the facility. |
| Legal mail | Should still be sent to the facility. |
| Money deposits | No official vendor or fee table located. |
| Commissary | No official ordering portal located. |
Note: Confirm custody, mailing address, and deposit options with the jail before sending funds, packages, or legal mail.
ODRC, BOP, ICE, and VINELink
The county jail roster is not the right tool for every inmate record. A Harrison County defendant sentenced to Ohio prison moves to ODRC custody and should be searched in the ODRC Offender Search. A federal sentenced inmate should be checked through the BOP locator. Immigration detention uses ICE ODLS. Ohio VINELink can help with notifications where coverage exists.
The ODRC offender-search screen provides statewide search fields. The screenshot below comes from the Ohio ODRC Offender Search.
Use ODRC only after the custody question has shifted from current county jail detention to Ohio prison or state supervision.
VINELink is best understood as a notification tool, not the official jail roster. It can be useful for custody alerts when the person and agency are covered, but it should be checked alongside the sheriff report and direct jail contact. For immigration cases, ICE ODLS is separate from county custody and can require biographical information or an A-number. For federal cases, BOP may show a person as released or not in BOP custody even when another criminal-justice agency still has authority over the person.
