Coshocton Justice Center Overview
The Coshocton County Justice Center is a full-service county jail operated by the Coshocton County Sheriff's Office. Current sheriff materials identify Sheriff Christopher Walters as the elected sheriff, and the sheriff administration page identifies Captain Charles Udischas as Jail Administrator. The jail serves the sheriff, West Lafayette Police Department prisoners, local courts, probation and parole holds, fugitives from other counties or states, people awaiting transport to Ohio prison, and some federal-agency custody. That mix is why a Coshocton County inmate lookup should start with the local roster, then branch to state or federal systems when the person is not listed.
The current Justice Center address used for facility location is 504 North 4th Street, Coshocton, OH 43812, based on the 2025 Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction final compliance letter for the new Justice Center. The sheriff's office main address remains 500 N. 3rd St., Coshocton, OH 43812, and inmate mail still appears in sheriff FAQ material with the 328 Chestnut Street address. Those addresses should not be merged. The 4th Street address is the facility location, the 3rd Street address is the sheriff office contact point, and the Chestnut Street address is used where the sheriff gives mail instructions.
The Coshocton County Sheriff's Office homepage is the official agency source for sheriff contact information tied to the Justice Center.
The sheriff source anchors the facility page because the Justice Center, Records Bureau, roster links, and jail contacts all route through that office.
Coshocton Justice Center Population
The sheriff inmate information page says the jail was built in 1973 and designed for 60 inmates. ODRC inspection materials give dated snapshots that help place that older design figure in context. The 2021 inspection reported 60 actual general housing capacity with 36 inmates on the inspection date. The 2022 inspection reported 62 capacity with 46 inmates. The 2024 inspection noted that several housing units exceeded Bureau recommended capacity, while the 2025 final compliance letter for the new Coshocton County Justice Center said deficiencies had been corrected after a December follow-up and the jail reached 100% Essential and Important Standards.
The public jail roster printed June 23, 2026 listed 75 records. That is a dated roster count, not an annual average daily population, but it shows why the original design capacity still matters to the Coshocton County inmate population. The roster also does not group people by charge level, race, sentence status, or court stage. It shows the listed current inmate count and enough identifiers to help a reader move to court records, release reports, VINE, or the Records Bureau.
Lookup Coshocton Justice Center Inmates
The official Coshocton County inmate lookup is a free PDF roster linked from the sheriff inmate information page. It is not a live search form and does not open a profile page for each person. The roster fields are Housing Area, Inmate, Jacket #, Sex, DOB, Book #, and Booking Date/Time. Charges, mugshots, bonds, court dates, and release dates are not in the main roster PDF. For a field-by-field roster explanation, use the Coshocton County jail inmate records page; for a deeper custody record, use the release PDF, the sheriff Records Bureau, VINE, or the court portals based on the question being asked.
- Open the sheriff's inmate information page and choose the Jail Roster PDF for the current custody list.
- Use the PDF viewer's find function to search by name. There are no first-name, last-name, date-of-birth, or booking-number fields on the county page.
- Read the housing area, jacket number, book number, and booking date carefully. Those values help distinguish people with similar names.
- Check the Scheduled Releases PDF for tentative release dates, bond labels, judge notes, and holds that do not appear on the main roster.
- Use VINE for custody-status notifications. The sheriff VINE material lists 1-800-770-0192, and Ohio VINELink is available online.
- Search ODRC, BOP, or ICE separately if the person has transferred out of county custody or is held under a separate federal or immigration process.
Coshocton Justice Center Contact
For facility location questions, use the new Justice Center address from the ODRC compliance letter. For sheriff business, records, and jail questions, the sheriff's main office and Records Bureau contacts are the practical route. The sheriff FAQ also lists a family emergency message line, but it warns that the line is not continuously monitored and that jail staff verify emergencies before passing a message. Routine messages and telephone numbers are not relayed to inmates.

Coshocton Justice Center Visits
Coshocton County Justice Center visitation is video-based through IC Solutions/The Visitor. The official visitation PDF says correctional staff do not schedule visits, and visitors must use the vendor account system. Offsite video visits are available every day and must be scheduled in advance. Onsite visitation was listed as unavailable due to COVID precautions in the sheriff visitation material, but that same material describes the future onsite schedule through lobby kiosks when onsite visits are active again. Confirm onsite availability before traveling.
| Visit Type | Hours | Scheduling and Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Offsite video | Daily 7 AM to 11:40 PM | Schedule 24 hours ahead through IC Solutions; $5 for 20 minutes; unlimited offsite visits. |
| Onsite video status | Listed unavailable due to COVID precautions | Call first because lobby kiosk access may change before public pages are updated. |
| Future onsite weekend hours | Saturday and Sunday 7 AM to 11:40 PM | Two free onsite visits weekly through lobby kiosks when available. |
| Future onsite weekday hours | Monday to Friday 7 AM to 8 AM and 4 PM to 11:40 PM | Same lobby-kiosk rules when onsite visits resume. |
Coshocton Justice Center Money
Mail must include a return address and must be sent in the inmate-name format listed by the sheriff. The sheriff FAQ says discolored paper or envelopes are not delivered, and greeting cards are photocopied while the original goes into the inmate's property. Money can be deposited through the lobby kiosk, Access Corrections online, or the phone deposit line. Depositors need the inmate name or number from the roster, and the jail warns that it cannot fix deposits made to the wrong inmate.
| Service | Provider or Rule | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Sheriff FAQ address | Inmate's Name, 328 Chestnut Street, Coshocton, Ohio 43812; return address required. | |
| Lobby deposit | Justice Center lobby kiosk | Available 24 hours; accepts cash in $5 bills or higher plus credit and debit cards. |
| Online deposit | Access Corrections | Use inmate name or inmate number; wrong-inmate deposits are not corrected by the jail. |
| Phone deposit | 1-866-345-1884 | Credit or debit card deposit by phone. |
| Commissary | Keefe Commissary Network | Orders are placed Wednesday, arrive Friday, and funds should be in by noon Wednesday. |
| Inmate phones | IC Solutions account options | Inmates cannot receive calls; phones generally run 6 AM to midnight unless restricted. |
Coshocton Justice Center Booking
Coshocton County booking begins when a person is brought to the Justice Center after arrest, warrant service, court commitment, or another agency hold. Public roster fields show the practical intake record: the jail assigns or uses a jacket number, creates a book number, records sex and date of birth, logs booking date and time, and places the person in a housing area. Housing labels on the inspected roster included dorms, blocks, and a Booking Area. The roster is useful for custody confirmation, but it is not a full arrest report.
People reporting to serve a jail sentence must follow the court's reporting time. Sheriff FAQ material says late arrivals are reported to the courts and can create additional penalties, while early arrivals are not accepted for early credit. Personal items are generally not accepted because of contraband concerns, with prescribed medication handled as an exception and inspected by medical staff. After booking, the case may move through Municipal Court, Common Pleas Court, probation, parole, or transport to ODRC depending on the charge and sentence status.
Note: The roster and scheduled release PDFs are public snapshots, so use VINE or direct records contact for status changes.
Coshocton Custody Transfers
A person who leaves Coshocton County Justice Center for state prison should be searched through the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction offender search. ODRC records may show the institution, DRC number, status, admission details, offense data, county of commitment, docket, sentence terms, and release or supervision information. That locator is for prison and Adult Parole Authority records, not for a person who is still in the county jail waiting on court.
Federal and immigration custody also use separate systems. The Federal Bureau of Prisons locator is for sentenced federal inmates from 1982 to present, while the ICE Online Detainee Locator System searches immigration custody by A-number and country or by name, birth date, and country. The sheriff source says the jail serves other federal agencies, so a federal hold can touch the county jail. Still, no BOP prison, ICE detention center, or separate city jail was located in Coshocton County research.
About Coshocton Justice Center
The Coshocton County jail has a long local role, with sheriff materials saying the facility was built in 1973 and designed for 60 inmates. Recent state records add a newer chapter. ODRC's 2025 final compliance letter identifies the new Coshocton County Justice Center at 504 North 4th Street and says deficiencies noted during inspection were corrected after a follow-up visit, leaving the jail at full Essential and Important Standards compliance. The 2024 inspection's recommended-capacity concern and the 2026 roster count make capacity a real part of the local inmate-population picture, but those facts should be read as dated source points rather than a live crowding dashboard.
Programs and services documented in public sheriff material are basic jail operations rather than a published treatment or work-release menu. The available sources confirm video visits, phone access, commissary, mail rules, prescribed-medication review, VINE notifications, and records-request access. No official GED schedule, religious-services schedule, substance-use program list, or work-release program description was located in the public jail pages reviewed for Coshocton County.
Note: Confirm custody, onsite visitation status, and entrance instructions with the Sheriff's Office before traveling to the Justice Center.
