Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Lycoming County Prison
Members of the public can look for someone in custody by using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. County jail rosters typically list basic custody information such as the inmate’s name, booking date, listed charges, bond or custody status, and sometimes a housing or court-related entry. Records do not always appear immediately after an arrest because booking, identification, medical screening, and data entry can take several hours. If a person was just arrested, check again later or contact the facility directly for current custody information.
