Read inmate search answers
1. Is someone from Bath being held?
Phone 207-882-4268 and ask for ext. 1228. VINELink works too and can send release alerts. Call the jail for more information.
↑ Back to the question list2. How do I use VINELink for Two Bridges?
Pick Maine, type the full name, and look for Two Bridges in the results. Matches show whether the person is in custody. Add a cell number or email to get a notice when that changes.
↑ Back to the question list3. Mugshot requests
Two Bridges releases booking photos at its discretion, so media should ask the jail. For ICE detainees, use the ICE FOIA page. Federal photos are not public except some U.S. Marshals Service releases.
↑ Back to the question list4. What will the jail say on the phone?
Two Bridges answers questions at 207-882-4268. Give the full name and birth date. Staff can confirm custody, the booking charge, whether bail is set, and the next court date. Medical and case details stay private.
↑ Back to the question list5. What happens after a Bath arrest?
Officers from Bath, Topsham, and Richmond, sheriff's deputies, and troopers drive arrests to 522 Bath Rd. in Wiscasset. Booking includes prints, a photo, logging of belongings, a records search for open warrants, and medical questions. A bail commissioner can be called after that.
↑ Back to the question list6. How is bail set for a Bath-area arrest?
Two Bridges in Wiscasset accepts bail for arrests made around Bath. After hours, a bail commissioner sets terms and may charge up to $60 (15 M.R.S. §1023). Under 15 M.R.S. §1026, personal recognizance comes first, with cash or surety only when needed. See our bail page for paying at Two Bridges.
↑ Back to the question list7. Will a minor charge need cash?
Rarely. On minor charges, Two Bridges rarely collects money. When the top charge is Class E, Maine generally bars cash bail. Sagadahoc exceptions: abuse cases, certain sex charges, violations of release, and prior no-shows.
↑ Back to the question list8. Why is the person waiting for a judge?
Some bookings must wait for a West Bath judge. A commissioner is skipped for murder, probation holds, and most bail-violation arrests. Then the person waits to see a judge in Sagadahoc courts. The clerk at 207-442-0200 can give the date.
↑ Back to the question list9. Does this person have a Sagadahoc warrant?
Bath deputies with the Sheriff's Office handle these; phone 207-443-8201. No public statewide warrant search exists; dockets are covered on the electronic records page. An attorney can schedule the turn-in at the Two Bridges Regional Jail, 522 Bath Rd., or the West Bath clerk at 101 New Meadows Rd. (207-442-0200) can talk about a new date.
↑ Back to the question list10. Which court will hear the case?
Most first appearances are at West Bath District Court, 101 New Meadows Rd. Felony jury trials go to Superior Court, 752 High St., Bath. Both: 207-442-0200.
↑ Back to the question list11. Which deposit line serves Two Bridges?
The prepaid line 800-483-8314 takes deposits for trust, commissary, and phone accounts. See our money page, commissary page, phone page, and email page.
↑ Back to the question list12. Where does mail for Two Bridges go?
Since March 30, 2026, personal mail to Two Bridges is scanned offsite. Check the FAQ for the address. See our mail page.
↑ Back to the question list13. How do visits work at Two Bridges?
Two Bridges visits are by video and booked online; the scheduler is linked from the Two Bridges FAQ. Three visitors at most, one inmate a day. Arrive 15 minutes early if visiting on site. See our visitation page.
↑ Back to the question list14. How do property pickup and medicine work?
Two Bridges releases property at 522 Bath Rd. Property pickup is on Fridays with photo ID, after the inmate signs a release form. Bring medicine only in the original pharmacy container.
↑ Back to the question list15. Can the person call me from Wiscasset?
Inmates at Two Bridges can call out. Once booked, the person can call out collect or from a prepaid account, and tablet messaging may be offered. Expect every call to be monitored; save case questions for the defense attorney. See our phone page and email page.
↑ Back to the question list16. Who has the Sagadahoc court charge?
Two Bridges staff share the arrest charge. The district attorney files the court charge, which may change. The clerk has the court file, and the arresting agency keeps the police report.
↑ Back to the question list17. What happens at the first appearance?
West Bath District Court, 207-442-0200, hears the first appearance. The charge is read aloud, rights are covered, and a lawyer is lined up. Counsel can request smaller bail. People held in Wiscasset may join by video. The public can attend.
↑ Back to the question list18. How does someone get a lawyer?
West Bath judges appoint lawyers for cases. If paying is impossible, request a court-appointed attorney at that first hearing; they are assigned through the Maine Commission on Public Defense Services.
↑ Back to the question list19. What are the release conditions?
Release from Two Bridges always carries conditions. All orders bar new crimes. Many add no-contact, no-alcohol, or search terms. Breaking one is a separate crime under 15 M.R.S. §1092.
↑ Back to the question list20. What help do victims get?
A victim near Bath can follow Two Bridges releases. Sign up on VINELink for release notices. Sagadahoc prosecutors have advocates who guide victims through court. Report a broken no-contact order to police right away.
↑ Back to the question list21. Where are people released from Two Bridges?
People walk out at 522 Bath Rd., Wiscasset, with their property and any balance. Bath is across the bridge, so plan a ride. The discharge sheet shows the coming hearing and every condition.
↑ Back to the question list23. What about health needs and medicine?
Tell booking staff about health problems, and call the jail if you worry about a condition or a needed medicine. Pharmacy containers must be original. Staff cannot discuss medical details without the person's written permission.
↑ Back to the question list24. Could the person be moved elsewhere?
Yes. Inmates can leave Two Bridges. People may go to another county jail for space or security, to the Maine Department of Corrections after a prison sentence, or to federal custody. VINE alerts and a call to Wiscasset will tell you where they went.
↑ Back to the question list25. What if the name does not match?
The Two Bridges list may miss a name. Try a full legal name, a maiden name, or other spellings. If you still find nothing, the person may have been released, never booked, or held by another county. Call the jail with a birth date to check.
↑ Back to the question list26. Is an arrest the same as a record?
A Two Bridges booking is not a conviction. A booking is only an arrest entry. Bath residents can request a full record from the State Police SBI. West Bath clerks hold case results.
↑ Back to the question list27. What if the case is federal?
Federal arrests skip West Bath and Bath. Before sentencing, federal defendants are in U.S. Marshals Service custody. District of Maine headquarters: 156 Federal St., Suite 124, Portland; 207-780-3355. Bangor office: 202 Harlow St., Suite 321; 207-945-0416. Hearing dates come from the U.S. District Court clerk in Portland, 207-780-3356, or Bangor, 207-945-0575. After sentencing, try the BOP inmate locator.
↑ Back to the question list28. Where are juveniles held?
Sagadahoc teens go to the Long Creek Youth Development Center, 675 Westbrook St., South Portland, ME 04106; 207-822-2600.
↑ Back to the question list29. Was the person moved to state prison?
A long sentence from the Bath courts is served in state custody, not Wiscasset. See the Maine Department of Corrections search and our Maine state prisons page.
↑ Back to the question list30. Can Two Bridges hold someone for ICE?
When ICE asks Two Bridges to hold someone from Bath or Topsham, Maine law governs the answer. An I-247A detainer asks a jail to hold someone up to 48 hours after they would otherwise be released (8 CFR 287.7(d)). Under 5 M.R.S. §4763 and §4764, Two Bridges may not keep someone because of the detainer alone, and the person gets a copy. See the ICE detainee locator.
↑ Back to the question list31. What if Bath police gave a summons?
Then nobody went to Two Bridges. A summons sets a hearing and leaves the person at home.
↑ Back to the question list32. Are there fake bail collectors around Bath?
Sadly, yes. Two Bridges at 207-882-4268 can confirm real bail. They want gift cards or wires. Bail is paid in person at Two Bridges or the West Bath clerk only.
↑ Back to the question list33. Who confirms a West Bath hearing date?
The clerk at 207-442-0200. Our court guide lists the courts.
↑ Back to the question list34. Where do Bath families post bail?
At Two Bridges in Wiscasset, with the commissioner, or at the West Bath counter after a judge rules.
↑ Back to the question list35. Is a call needed ahead of crossing to Wiscasset?
Yes. Call Two Bridges at 207-882-4268 first. Make sure the person is still held and that bail or visits are possible that hour.
↑ Back to the question list36. Which jails are nearby?

Here you will learn how bail is set, how bonds are posted, and how release works for anyone arrested in Bath, Topsham, Richmond, Bowdoinham, or elsewhere in Sagadahoc County. Arrests go to the shared jail across the river in Wiscasset, so that is where money is paid. The county had 37,979 residents on July 1, 2025 (U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2025).
1. Which jail?
The Two Bridges Regional Jail, 522 Bath Rd., Wiscasset, ME 04578. Main number: 207-882-4268.

- Alternative number: Sagadahoc County Sheriff's Office, 752 High St., Bath, ME 04530; 207-443-8201
2. When can I post bail?
Two Bridges in Wiscasset, which holds arrests, takes bail around the clock. Any hour of any day. Go to the Two Bridges reception area. An officer confirms the amount, and the commissioner is called once your cash has been counted.
↑ Back to the question list3. Cash or surety?
At Two Bridges, bail is usually cash. Most bails are cash only. If a judge allowed surety, the bond needs a deed with it. Phone ext. 1310 first so you bring the right papers.
↑ Back to the question list4. Commissioner fee
Families paying at Two Bridges should bring the fee in separate cash. Plan on an extra $60, the cap under 15 M.R.S. §1023. Money for food or calls goes into a separate account; see our money page, commissary page, and phone page.
↑ Back to the question list5. Can release happen without cash?
Yes. Bath-area defendants are often let out on a signed promise or unsecured bond, which Maine sets as the starting point in 15 M.R.S. §1026. Most Class E crimes cannot get money bail, with exceptions such as domestic violence.
↑ Back to the question list6. Rules after release
A Sagadahoc release order bars new crimes and waives extradition, and may add more. A violation is a crime under 15 M.R.S. §1092.

- Sagadahoc County Superior Court, 752 High St., Bath, ME 04530; 207-442-0200

↑ Back to the question list9. Repayment
A Sagadahoc clerk mails the posted money back after final disposition, provided attendance was perfect. The $60 fee is not returned.
↑ Back to the question list10. ICE holds
Two Bridges can receive ICE requests on arrests. ICE sometimes sends Form I-247A, which asks for a hold up to 48 hours after they would otherwise be released (8 CFR 287.7(d)). 5 M.R.S. §4763 and §4764 prevents Two Bridges from keeping a Sagadahoc inmate solely because of it and requires sharing a copy with the person. The ICE detainee locator covers ICE custody.

ConnectNetwork Video Visitation (powered by GTL and ViaPath Technologies) allows friends and family members to schedule and conduct live, face-to-face video visits with incarcerated loved ones from home. Using an internet-connected smartphone, tablet, or PC equipped with a webcam, visitors connect directly through housing-unit video stations or assigned tablets, eliminating the need to travel to the correctional facility.
Important: Advance Registration and Visitor Clearance Required
Detention centers do not permit unscheduled or unverified video sessions. Correctional facilities require prospective visitors to submit government-issued photo identification and receive administrative clearance before booking an appointment, an approval process that can take up to 48 hours depending on facility staffing. You should verify your visitor approval status with the facility prior to scheduling. If you do not register well in advance, you will miss your loved one's scheduled visiting window for the week.
Step-by-Step Instructions to Register and Schedule a Video Visit
- Visit web.connectnetwork.com or download the ConnectNetwork mobile application.
- Register your account and upload a clear photograph of your valid government ID for institutional review.
- Search for your facility by state and agency name, then link your loved one using their legal name or booking ID.
- Wait for email notification confirming that facility administration has approved your visitor status.
- Select Video Visits, view the facility's open calendar schedule, and select an available time slot.
- Pay any required session fees using a debit or credit card and save your appointment confirmation.
- Log into the portal 10 to 15 minutes before your scheduled start time with a working camera, microphone, and stable high-speed internet connection.
What the Inmate Needs to Do
The inmate receives an on-screen prompt on their pod kiosk terminal or handheld tablet alerting them to the upcoming visit. At the scheduled time, they log into the terminal with their assigned PIN, position themselves in front of the screen, and conduct the session. Visitors and inmates must follow all facility dress codes and behavior rules; sessions are monitored and will be disconnected immediately if rules are broken.

The Sagadahoc County Sheriff's Office, 752 High St. in Bath, 207-443-8201, serves county warrants, with help from Bath and Topsham police.

Information for this service is currently unavailable.
ViaPath Technologies (formerly GTL / ConnectNetwork) operates secure banking software enabling family members to deposit cash or card funds directly into an incarcerated person's jail trust account. Deposited funds allow the inmate to purchase commissary food items, clothing, personal hygiene goods, and medical copays, or transfer balances to phone time.
Important: Jail Trust Account Policies Differ by Agency
Once a person is booked and moved to a cell, facilities do not always allow cash drop-offs or phone payments directly to the jail window. Some might and you should confirm this by calling the facility and asking. But if you do not register online and fund your loved one's trust account immediately, they may be forced to wait days or weeks for standard paper processing, leaving them without essential soap, clean undergarments, basic medical sundries or snacks.
Step-by-Step Instructions to Deposit Trust Funds
- Confirm the inmate's legal name, date of birth, and assigned booking or institutional ID number.
- Log into your account at web.connectnetwork.com or my.viapath.com.
- Select Trust Fund from the available services dashboard.
- Select the facility and confirm your loved one's profile matches the active housing roster.
- Specify the deposit dollar amount and enter your debit or credit card billing details.
- Authorize the transaction and record the confirmation tracking number for your financial records.
What the Inmate Needs to Do
The inmate does not need an internet connection to receive trust funds. Once payment clears, the balance posts directly to their accounting profile in the jail's internal system. The inmate can review their updated balance at the pod kiosk or on their tablet and place their regular weekly store order.

There are several methods for depositing money on an inmate's account:

2. If you prefer to use your credit or debit card and deposit money over the phone, you can call them at 877-650-4249.

The money order should be be made out to either the inmate or the Sagadahoc County Sheriff's Office, with the inmate’s name and ID# on the memo line of the check. To confirm this option call the facility at 207-882-4268.
*When mailing a money order or cashier’s check, send it an envelope by itself. Never send it with a letter or photos for your inmate, unless the facility allows it. Never send personal checks or cash.

Two Bridges Regional Jail in Wiscasset is the shared jail for Lincoln County and Sagadahoc County, run by a jail authority the two counties formed together. Since March 30, 2026, letters from friends and family are no longer accepted at the Bath Road building. They go to a separate scanning address, and the person inside reads them free of charge on a tablet in their housing pod. Scanning keeps out paper that was soaked in drugs such as meth or heroin and dried before it was mailed.
Family and friend letters (scanned, never delivered on paper):

Phoenix, MD 21131
Mail from a lawyer and approved packages:
Inmate's Full Name & Booking #
Two Bridges Regional Jail
522 Bath Road
Wiscasset, ME 04578
- Booking number first: Write the person's name and their booking number, with BN# in front of it, clearly on the front. Without a readable booking number the letter is never delivered, so check the number before you send.
- Wrong address: Personal mail that shows up at the Wiscasset jail is sent back to you.
- Timing: After the letter reaches the scanning box, it usually reaches the tablet in one to three business days.
- The paper copy: Your original is destroyed after scanning, though the inmate can pull up the scan for as long as they are held. Keep anything you want to save.
- Pictures: Photos are scanned with the letter unless they show nudity or something inappropriate.
- Sender information: List your full name and mailing address at the top left, or the mail may be destroyed.
- Writing: Blue or black ink. No crayon, colored ink, felt marker, lipstick or perfume, no drawings, and nothing tucked inside such as glitter or confetti.
- Postcards and cards: Pre-stamped postcards and untouched photo postcards are fine if they aren't obscene or violent. A greeting card must be plain and play no music.
- Legal mail: Attorney-client mail is sent to the jail building itself, not to the scanning address.
- No money in the mail: Money orders are no longer taken by mail. Use the lobby kiosk at the jail, which takes cash or a card, or deposit online.
- Stamps and packages: Stamps can't be sent in, since inmates buy them from commissary. A package can only come from the jail's commissary company.
- Who may write: Friends and family, but not a co-defendant, someone held in another jail or prison, or a person under a no-contact order.
Short notes and photos can also go through electronic messages, and you can call the jail at 207-882-4268.
AdvancePay is the primary prepaid telecommunications service operated by Global Tel*Link (GTL) and ConnectNetwork, which have unified under the corporate identity of ViaPath Technologies (and the myViaPath platform). By funding an AdvancePay account, telephone charges are deducted per minute whenever an incarcerated loved one calls your specific telephone number, preventing calls from being rejected by cellular carriers.
Important: Cell Carriers Automatically Block Jail Collect Calls
Inmate telephone networks do not permit incoming calls, and wireless cell providers automatically block traditional collect billing by default. While select traditional landlines may support operator billing, cell phones and internet-based lines require an active AdvancePay balance, which you can verify with your carrier. If you do not register your number online and add funds immediately, your loved one will hear an automated operator announcement stating your line is blocked from receiving correctional calls.
Step-by-Step Instructions to Open and Fund AdvancePay
- Visit web.connectnetwork.com or the updated my.viapath.com portal, or launch the ConnectNetwork / ViaPath mobile application.
- Click Sign Up and register using your primary 10-digit cellphone number and email address.
- Select Add Facility, pick your state, and choose the detention center or state prison where the inmate is held.
- Search for the inmate using their full legal name or facility booking ID number and link them to your contact directory.
- Select AdvancePay Phone and choose your deposit amount ($25, $50, or custom).
- Enter your debit or credit card billing details, accept the administrative transaction fee, and complete the payment.

The inmate approaches any housing pod telephone, enters their assigned PIN and voice biometric recognition phrase, and dials your 10-digit number. ViaPath's automated operator confirms your active prepaid balance and connects the call. All personal telephone calls are subject to recording and monitoring by facility investigators.

ViaPath PIN Debit (hosted on ConnectNetwork and myViaPath) provides incarcerated individuals with their own calling funds. Unlike AdvancePay (which only funds calls placed to your specific phone number), PIN Debit funds belong directly to the inmate, allowing them to call attorneys, bondsmen, employers, or extended family members across multiple approved telephone numbers.
Important: AdvancePay Only Funds a Single Phone Number
When someone is arrested, they often need to contact multiple people—including legal defense counsel, bail agents, employers, and relatives. If you only fund an AdvancePay account, your loved one will have no calling balance to dial anyone else, as rules and call authorizations vary by facility. Adding funds directly to ViaPath PIN Debit grants them the calling flexibility needed to handle critical legal and family arrangements without delay.
Step-by-Step Instructions to Fund a PIN Debit Account
- Sign into your account at web.connectnetwork.com or my.viapath.com.
- Click on PIN Debit under the communications menu.
- Select the state and facility, and link the inmate's booking identification number.
- Enter the deposit dollar amount and review the payment transaction fee.
- Enter your debit or credit card details and submit the payment.
- Notify your loved one that their personal PIN calling balance has been credited.
What the Inmate Needs to Do
The calling balance appears under the inmate's personal identification PIN. When they pick up any dayroom telephone or tablet, they select the 'PIN Debit' prompt from the automated menu to place calls to any approved number on their personal contact list.

GettingOut (a service of Global Tel*Link / Telmate) provides an instant two-way digital messaging and photo-sharing platform connecting families with incarcerated individuals via housing-unit kiosks and handheld tablets. The provider is actively rebranding as ViaPath Technologies (under the myViaPath platform); depending on the facility contract, local booking sheets and tablets may still refer to the service as GettingOut, GTL, or ViaPath, but both brand portals grant access to the same centralized messaging balance.
Important: Contact Authorization and Digital Mail Rules Vary
Inmate digital messaging rules are not uniform across all county detention centers. While some jails allow immediate two-way messaging upon registration, others require initial contact invitations or administrative ID verification, which you should verify directly with the facility. If you delay setting up an online profile and funding your Friends & Family messaging account, your loved one may face lengthy periods without direct family communication.
Step-by-Step Instructions to Register and Message an Inmate
- Visit www.gettingout.com or the newly branded my.viapath.com portal, or install the GettingOut / myViaPath mobile app.
- Create a user profile using your primary email address and 10-digit mobile phone number.
- Complete identity verification by uploading a clear photo of your government-issued driver's license or state ID and taking a verification selfie if requested.
- Search for the inmate by selecting the state, correctional facility, and their legal name or booking ID.
- Send an outside contact connection request to link your account to their tablet profile.
- Deposit funds into your 'Friends & Family Account' using a debit or credit card to cover message and photo-sharing costs.
- Compose your text message in the chat box, attach approved photos, and submit it for jail screening.
What the Inmate Needs to Do
The inmate powers on their assigned pod tablet or approaches a housing-unit kiosk and logs into the messaging application with their PIN. They accept your incoming contact invitation on the screen. Once approved by institutional monitors, incoming messages appear in their inbox, and the inmate types a reply directly on the screen.

GettingOut provides specialized, secure handheld tablets for county jail inmates, offering access to messaging apps, telephone calling, legal research tools, eBooks, vocational training, and premium entertainment rentals. As part of GTL and Telmate's transition to ViaPath Technologies, tablet firmware and management platforms are moving to the myViaPath system.
Important: Tablet Feature Availability Varies by Facility
Jails manage tablet distribution according to individual facility contracts. While basic educational and legal materials are often provided without cost, access to music streaming, games, podcasts, and premium movies requires an active funded account. You should confirm the tablet rules with the facility directly. Registering and funding their media balance right away ensures your loved one has productive resources and recreation during their stay.
Step-by-Step Instructions to Fund Inmate Tablet Services
- Confirm that GettingOut / ViaPath handheld tablets are active at your loved one's specific detention facility.
- Navigate to www.gettingout.com or my.viapath.com.
- Sign into your verified user profile and link the inmate's legal name and booking ID number.
- Select Make a Deposit and choose either your Friends & Family Account (for messaging) or the inmate's personal Inmate Account (for entertainment and song rentals).
- Choose your deposit amount, review convenience fees, and complete payment with a credit or debit card.
- Notify your loved one that their tablet account balance has been funded.
What the Inmate Needs to Do
The inmate unlocks their assigned tablet or signs one out from the pod charging station using their biometric verification or PIN. Once logged in, their available balance appears on the screen, allowing them to download songs, stream educational content, and communicate with approved family members.
