About the Pickaway County Jail
ocated just outside of town, the sprawling landscape of the Pickaway County Jail houses up to 120 inmates at any one time. With two levels in the housing unit, male and female inmates remain separated throughout their stay. As a holding facility it accepts new bookings from the local Sheriff’s Office and completes the original booking process then holds them until their first hearing. Detainees will remain in this facility throughout their trial and may serve any sentence up to one year in the same location. Those with a longer sentence may find themselves transferred to another location. This facility began operations in 1978 and averages over 4300 bookings each year. Only adult inmates are detained here with any juveniles being held at the nearby juvenile facility. Visits, phone calls, and mail are all encouraged to maintain relationships outside of the jail for the duration of the incarceration. Visits may be completed either at the facility via the video terminals or from home on a desktop computer or a mobile device that has internet access. All potential visitors must first be registered and approved, and then may book visits in advance. To book visits jpay.com has 30 minute blocks availalbe from 8am to 11am, 1pm to 4pm and 6pm to 9pm.

Recent Bookings & Arrests

How do I find out if someone has been arrested and booked into the Pickaway County Jail?

To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Pickaway County Jail, call the jail’s booking line at 740-477-6156.

There may be an automated method of looking them up by their name over the phone, or you may be directed to speak to someone at the jail. Sometimes the jail staff may ask you the offender’s date of birth to ensure privacy of the offender’s status.

Keep in mind that after an arrest, the information on an offender may not be publicly available for several hours.

If you don’t want to check up on an offender by calling the jail, you can also try looking up people recently booked online.

Pickaway County Jail Booking Roster

What happens during booking in Pickaway County?

After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Pickaway County for booking.

Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.

What is the booking process like at the Pickaway County Jail?

Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Pickaway County and other Ohio and USA jurisdictions.

If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.

It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.

What kind of questions are asked during booking?

The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.

What happens to an offender’s personal property during booking?

During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.

Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.

What happens after booking?

At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.

If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the Pickaway County Jail will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.

Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.

How long does the Pickaway County Jail Booking process take?

Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.

If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.
