Pike County Inmate Search Overview
The Pike County Correctional Facility is the local facility for county inmate and detainee questions. The county page lists the facility at 175 Pike County Boulevard, Lords Valley, PA 18428, phone 570-775-5500. It names Craig A. Lowe as Warden and Jonathan J. Romance as Assistant Warden. The facility was built in 1995, is an 87,800-square-foot non-smoking facility on 268 acres in Blooming Grove Township, and has 375 beds for male and female offenders.
The county correctional page links to several custody-related services, including VINE or VINELink, ICE Online Detainee Locator System, and Access Corrections for funds. It does not show a public Pike County jail roster form in the researched material. That means a county inmate search should not assume the county website provides mugshots, booking numbers, charge lists, housing units, bond amounts, court dates, or projected release dates online.
The facility also has a dual local and federal context. It houses male and female offenders for county purposes, and ICE publishes a Pike County Correctional Facility page for immigration detention questions. That does not mean every person in the facility is searchable through ICE ODLS. It means the custody path should be selected by the legal custody source: county facility contact for local detention, ICE ODLS for immigration detention, and Pennsylvania DOC for state prison or parole.
The facility page is the source for the local custody channel: Pike County Correctional Facility.
This county source anchors the Pike County inmate record process even though it does not publish a searchable public roster.
How to Use Pike County Custody Channels
Because there is no official Pike County public roster form in the researched county page, use a channel-by-channel process. Local county custody starts with the facility. Victim or family notification can use VINE. Immigration detention may use ICE ODLS. State prison or parole custody belongs in the Pennsylvania DOC locator, which the state says is updated daily and does not include county-facility inmates.
- Call the Pike County Correctional Facility at 570-775-5500 for local county custody questions and facility-specific instructions.
- Use Pennsylvania VINELink for custody-status notification and offender lookup where VINE has the record.
- Use ICE ODLS when the person may be an immigration detainee connected to the Pike facility.
- Use the Pennsylvania DOC Inmate and Parolee Locator for state-sentenced inmates or parolees.
- Use UJS Case Search for related court dockets, but do not treat a court docket as a live custody roster.
Pike County Inmate Search Fields
The official field inventory is mostly an absence inventory for the county page. The Pike County site provides facility contact and links to outside custody tools, but it does not publish a county roster form with name and booking fields. The table separates the county channel from statewide and federal custody tools.
| Portal | Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pike County site | No jail roster search form found | n/a | n/a | County page gives facility phone, VINE, ICE locator, and funds links. |
| PA DOC locator | Inmate or parolee identifying details | Text fields | Unspecified | State-sentenced inmates and parolees only, excluding county-facility inmates. |
| ICE ODLS | A-Number and country of birth, or biographical search | Text and dropdowns | Yes for selected path | Use for immigration detainee searches. |
| VINELink Pennsylvania | Find an offender or custody status | Text fields | Unspecified | Free custody notification and offender lookup channel. |
Pike County Inmate Profile Limits
No official Pike County public roster profile was available from the county correctional page reviewed in the research. The sample field inventory below therefore states what the official county page does and does not provide, instead of inventing a profile layout that Pike County did not publish.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| County booking profile | No public county roster profile was found on the official Pike County correctional page. |
| Mugshot | Not published through the researched county custody page. |
| Booking number | Not published through a county public roster in the researched material. |
| Charge list or bond | May be checked through court dockets or facility contact, but not shown as a county roster profile. |
| Housing unit or pod | Not published as an online public county roster field in the researched source. |
| Release date | Not published as a Pike County online roster profile field in the researched source. |

175 Pike County Boulevard
Lords Valley, PA 18428
570-775-5500
County facility contact; ICE detainee information phone hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. per ICE.
The linked funds service appears on the county facility page: Access Corrections.
Access Corrections is relevant for inmate and detainee trust-account deposits, not for confirming custody status.
Pike County Custody Channel Table
Different Pike County inmate record questions route to different systems. A person held at the county facility, a person held for immigration proceedings, and a person sentenced to state prison are not searched through the same database.
| Custody Channel | Use When | Record Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Pike County Correctional Facility | The person may be in local county custody or family needs facility instructions. | Official page gives phone and service links, but no public roster form. |
| VINELink Pennsylvania | A victim, witness, or family member wants custody-status notification. | Notification channel, not the county court file. |
| ICE ODLS | The person may be an immigration detainee associated with the Pike facility. | Federal detainee locator, separate from county criminal case records. |
| PA DOC locator | The person is state-sentenced or on parole under Pennsylvania DOC. | State system updated daily, excluding county-facility inmates. |
| UJS Case Search | The question is about charges, court dates, disposition, fines, or warrants. | Court docket, not a live custody roster. |
VINELink is an official Pennsylvania custody-notification source: Pennsylvania VINELink.
VINELink helps monitor custody status, while court records still come from UJS and the Pike County court offices.
ICE and State Pike County Inmate Records
The ICE facility page for Pike County says detainee information may be requested by calling 570-775-5500 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. ICE ODLS is the federal search path for immigration detainees. The Pennsylvania DOC locator is the state search path for state-sentenced inmates and parolees, and the DOC page says that locator does not include people incarcerated in another state or in a county facility.
The ICE facility page is a federal source for detainee questions at Pike County Correctional Facility: ICE Pike County Correctional Facility.
The ICE channel should be used only for federal immigration custody, not for every Pike County inmate search.
The Pennsylvania DOC locator covers state custody and parole records: Pennsylvania inmate and parolee locator.
The DOC image reinforces the state-custody limit: it is useful after sentencing or parole, not for local jail intake.
Pike County Booking and Court Records
The research did not provide a Pike County booking-sequence schedule or a public booking sheet. What it does show is the court path surrounding local custody. Magisterial District Courts handle preliminary arraignments and preliminary hearings for adult misdemeanor and felony cases. Summary criminal and minor traffic matters usually begin in the MDJ court for the municipality. Common Pleas criminal cases are maintained by the Clerk of Courts.
A person arrested in Pike County may therefore appear in more than one official record stream. Custody status belongs to the jail or custody locator. Charges and hearing dates belong to the MDJ or Common Pleas docket. Formal statewide criminal-history reporting belongs to Pennsylvania State Police PATCH. Mixing those systems can lead to wrong conclusions, especially when a person has been released from custody but the court case remains open.
For charge, hearing, warrant, bail, disposition, and sentencing information, use UJS Case Search and the appropriate court office. For the full criminal case file, the Pike County criminal court records page is the better internal route. For custody status, use the correctional facility, VINE, ICE ODLS, or PA DOC depending on the person's custody category.
Pike County Inmate Visitation and Mail Schedule
The visible county correctional page reviewed in the research does not publish a general public visitation schedule. It links to virtual attorney visitation, volunteer materials, PREA materials, a community resource guide, and notices about personal mail going digital. Because the official page does not provide day-by-day visiting hours in the researched text, the schedule table uses a no-published-schedule format.
| Topic | Published Schedule in Research | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| General public visits | No day-by-day public schedule found | Call 570-775-5500 for current visiting rules before travel. |
| Attorney visits | Virtual attorney visitation link noted | Use the facility's official attorney-visit instructions. |
| Personal mail | Mail is changing and going digital | Use the facility's visitor and family mail notice for current vendor details. |
| ICE detainee inquiries | Phone inquiries 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. | Call the facility number for detainee information during that window. |
Contact, Mail, Funds, and PREA
Trust-account and commissary deposits for Pike County inmates and detainees can be made through Access Corrections. The county page lists the Access Corrections telephone number as 1-866-345-1884, and says a kiosk in the facility lobby accepts cash or credit-card deposits to the inmate or detainee account. Those deposit channels do not confirm custody or court status, but they are part of the official facility support path.
The facility states that inmate personal mail is changing and that all inmate personal mail is going digital. Use the official facility notices before sending mail. The facility also states a zero-tolerance policy for institutional sexual harassment, assault, or abuse under PREA standards. PREA Coordinator Lt. Todd Schweyer may receive reports by email at tschweyer@pikepa.org, and the research also lists jromance@pikepa.org as a reporting email. Mail reports may be sent to the PREA Coordinator at 175 Pike County Boulevard, Lords Valley, PA 18428.
Programs listed by the county also help explain why the facility page is more than a simple custody contact. H.O.P.E. serves female offenders, while A.R.R.O.W., C.O.R.E., and M.O.R.E. are named male-offender reintegration or change programs. Those program names do not create a public roster, but they are useful when a family member needs the official facility page for more than booking status.
For records tied to court status, keep the custody channel separate from the docket channel. The facility can answer facility questions, VINE can help with notification, ICE and DOC cover their own custody populations, and UJS or the Clerk of Courts covers the Pike County criminal case record.
PREA reporting is another record-related facility channel, but it is not an inmate lookup tool. The county page gives reporting contacts for institutional sexual harassment, assault, or abuse allegations. Use those contacts for safety reports, not to request booking details, court charges, or certified copies of case records.
