About the Licking County Justice Center

Located in Newark, Ohio, the Licking County Justice Center is a full service detention center and is connected with the county's Sheriff's office. To limit the transportation of inmates there is an office that is designed for attending court appearances such as the arraignment via video rather than moving them to the courthouse and back. The address is 155 E. Main Street, Newark, OH 43055 and you can phone them 24 hours a day by calling 740-670-5501. The Sheriff maintains a Jail Roster and Inmate List in real time that has names, criminal charges, bond amounts and a lot of personal information on each of the inmates. 

The Licking County Justice Center has a capacity of 332 inmates, both male and female, and has approximately 305,000 square feet of space, which includes the sheriff's office, jail cells, dorms, day rooms, a kitchen, booking center and medical and laundry facilities. Inmates are both offenders arrested for misdemeanor crimes up to serious felonies such as assault, rape and homicide. Inmates are either awaiting trial because they cannot afford bail, are not offered bail because of the seriousness of their crime(s), or are sentenced and serving less than one year.

A mix of both full time and part time employees keep the jail manned around the clock every day of the year, and ensure that the health and safety needs of each detainee are met. People can find themselves here directly after arrest for booking and fingerprinting, while awaiting their arraignment or their trial, awaiting the results of a trial, or serving a sentence. As some are housed for an extended period of time it has increased offerings including educational programs and assistance with substance abuse. Visitors are encouraged to help maintain ties with the outside world and there are visiting hours nearly daily. By visiting the website for the jail, friends and family can register for no contact visitation via the video stations at the jail or through their own devices at home. Onsite visits are Wednesday through Saturday, 8:15-10:45 am, 11:15-3:45pm, and 4:15-5:15pm. Offsite visits are each day of the week with additional hours 5:45-10pm. Anyone unsure if their loved one is being held in this facility can use the online look up to find their location, the charges, and if there is a release date available.

Mail can be received every day and is processed and passed to the inmates quickly. Friends and family of inmates in the Licking County Justice Center can arrange to visit inmates by video, both at the jail and remotely from home. They can also communicate using an online text/email system, send them money and buy them commissary online, and set up a phone account that allows the inmates to call them during the day and evening seven days a week.

All the information on these inmate services can be found in the sections below.  If you still have questions, you can phone the jail 24 hours a day by calling 740-670-5501.
