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.

Recent Bookings & Arrests

How do I find out if someone has been arrested and booked into the Licking County Justice Center?

To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Licking County Justice Center, call the jail’s booking line at 740-670-5501.

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.

Licking County Justice Center Booking Roster

What happens during booking in Licking 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 Licking 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 Licking County Justice Center?

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 Licking 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 Licking County Justice Center 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 Licking County Justice Center 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.

Inmate Bail and Bonding

The Licking County Sheriff recommends that you use a bail bond agent licensed to do business in Licking County.

  • You can pay a cash bond yourself, or use your home in Licking County, or in some cases the state of Ohio, but the benefit of using a bail bond agent is that they take responsibility for making sure the inmate shows up for court in Licking County, and if they don't, then they take the financial responsibility.
  • The typical fee for a bond will be between 10-20% of the bail amount; usually 15%.  So if an offender has a bail of $10,000.00, their bond will be $1500.00.

Call 740-670-5501 to find out the exact bond (plus other fees) amount, or look it up online by looking up the information on the Licking County inmate locator.

Licking County Bail Bond Information

Because Licking County and Ohio can change their bail bond procedures, it is always best to call either the Licking County Justice Center at 740-670-5501, or the court in the jurisdiction (i.e. Municipal Court, District Court, etc.) where the offender was charged, and do this right after an arrestee has been booked. 

Ask the staff at the Licking County Justice Center or the Licking County Court Clerk these specific questions:

  1. Is the defendant eligible for bail or a bond?
  2. How much will the bail or bond be, and what are the additional fees?
  3. Where do I go to pay it?
  4. Are there any days or times of the day or night when I cannot post bail?
  5. What types of payment are allowed? Cash? Money order? Credit card? What types of credit cards? Property or other collateral? Surety bonds?
  6. Do I have to use a bail or bond agent?

If you feel the bail is too high and you wish to get it reduced, contact a lawyer or the defendant's public defender and get them to look into what they can do to get a bail reduction. The sooner you get working on this the quicker you will get your loved one released. 

This entire process will go smoother and faster with a criminal attorney or bail agent handling it for you.
