Worth Center

You can call Worth Center 24 hours a day for inmate information at 419-222-3339.

This facility handles offenders arrested for misdemeanors and felonies, who are brought here for booking and processing. Depending on their charges, inmates may remain in custody until they are either bonded out, released on recognizance, or held until their trial is completed.

The inmate search tool can be used to view the jail's roster and find out who is in custody.

Offenders sentenced to less than one year will serve their time at this jail, while those with longer sentences will be transferred to either the Ohio State Prison System or the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

This page provides information on a range of inmate services, including the visitation schedule, inmate account funding, sending mail, phone calls, voicemail, emailing and texting, tablet rentals, bail bonds, and commissary purchases.

It’s a good idea to keep the inmate’s jail ID or booking number for future communication needs. If it’s not available online, call Worth Center at 419-222-3339 for further assistance.
