Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Delaware County Jail
Members of the public can look for an inmate by using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. County jail rosters typically list the inmate’s name, booking date, listed charges, bond information when available, and current custody status. New bookings are not always searchable right away because intake, identification, medical screening, and record entry can take several hours. If a person was just arrested, check the roster again later or contact the facility for general booking information. Information can change as charges are updated, bond is set, or the inmate is released or transferred.
