Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Tioga County Prison
Members of the public can look for an inmate by using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility roster. County jail rosters typically list basic custody information such as the inmate’s name, booking date, charges, bond or bail information when available, and current custody status. After someone is booked, it can take several hours for processing to be completed and for the record to appear online, so a new booking may not be searchable right away. If the person does not appear in the roster, check again later or contact the facility directly for general custody information.
