To get an inmate search in Montgomery County done, you could go to the sheriff’s office. However, before you take the trouble of using their internet based inmate finder service or venturing out to their office in person, it would help to know about the kind of information they can offer in response to an inmate lookup.

The sheriff’s office has a division of corrections. This branch of the law enforcement agency has the responsibility of overseeing the workings of the Montgomery County jail. This is a detention facility that is locally based and is used to detain those convicted of misdemeanor crimes and sentenced to no more than a one year prison term.

If you are wondering what happens with convicts who are charged with serious crimes, these offenders are handed over to the Ohio Department of Corrections after sentencing. So, the only time they spend in the county jail is when they are being held while the case is tried. In other words, those defendants who are not granted bail are also kept in these correctional centers.

As stated, the OH DOC only assumes custody of the convicts after sentencing and exclusively when the punishment exceeds one year in incarceration. Given the varying sets of data that one would be offered in response to a Montgomery County inmate lookup done through these two agencies, it is understandable why it would make sense to connect with the appropriate agency when considering an inmate search.

To get in touch with the sheriff’s office, you have two choices. You could visit them at 345 W 2nd St, Dayton, OH 45402 or call them on 937-225-4357. There is also a second choice available for conducting Montgomery jail inmate search through the law enforcement agency. Their inmate finder program can be found on their website at http://mont.miamivalleyjails.org/.

If you want the DOC to undertake your prison inmate search for Montgomery, you can use the inmate locator tool on their web portal at http://odrc.drc.ohio.gov/OffenderSearch/Search.aspx or you could approach them by paying a visit to their office at 770 West Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio 43222. Inmate locator inquiries from victims of crime are also entertained over the phone. The hotline for this service is 1-888-VICTIM4.
