Ohio Inmate Search

Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections offers information on incarcerated offenders, 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 methods; 

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. Moreover, the search will offer a list of incarcerated inmates with similar names. 

Search by Offender Number 

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

Conducting Ohio Jail Inmate Search 

You can find a loved one 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. 

Conducting 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 department 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. 

Locating ICE Detainee 

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 custodyhttps://locator.ice.gov/odls/. 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 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 problems during the search, you should try checking out for misspellings and adding/removing a hyphen, versions, or reversed names.
