⇓ Learn more ⇓ Show lessLocated in Hillsboro, Ohio, the Highland County Jail is operated by the Sheriff. An online database has been created that allows for friends and family to look up their loved ones. This will share their name and where they are being held, the charges that they are facing or that they were convicted of, and how long they will be serving.
It is also possible to book visitation online, and with the video visitation at several locations often visits can be done without leaving home.
Operating the jail requires a balance of nutritional needs, exercise and recreational spaces, and ensuring that each inmate is safe during their stay. There is a need to provide medical care, either with nursing staff or access to nearby hospitals and emergency care.
While the Sheriff is responsible for managing all of these needs, they are also responsible for the law enforcement in the community and programing to prepare the inmates for their release and reintegration.
Prisoner transportation is a key part of the process and ensures that they get to court dates and are able to be transferred to larger prisons for longer sentences, or back for their release in their own hometown at the end of their sentence.
To visit an inmate an appointment must be scheduled at least one full day in advance, and this can be done any time online or in the lobby of the jail. Visiting hours are 7 am until 5:15 pm every weekday.
