Visitation has also changed and is not offered only via video systems and operated by GTL, requiring an account on the app or website at lackawannacountypa.gtlvisitme.com/app. Visits can be scheduled during the approved visiting hours, and can be attended online from offsite or at the kiosk in the lobby. There are visiting hours each day of the week, with different housing assignments having a day and time for visits.
To plan a visit it is necessary to know the housing assignment and booking ID for the inmate, with hours being different each day.
As the facility houses inmates of all ages and demographics, it is necessary to keep minimum security and maximum security separated, as well as keeping juveniles from the rest of the population and maintaining separation of male and female inmates.
The original Lackawanna County Prison, built in the 1890s, was designed to house 250 inmates in approximately 128 cells. The approximate inmate population at the start of construction was 500. The new prison, consisted of the construction of 424 new cells in four towers. In addition, 288 inmates are housed in the new 11,000-square foot minimum security area. The total number of beds now is 1,166.
This gives you a clear idea of the contrast between the 'new' and the 'old' Lackawanna Prison, and how they came together as one.
To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Lackawanna County Prison, call the jail’s booking line at 570-963-6639.
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.
Lackawanna County Prison Booking Roster
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 Lackawanna 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.
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 Lackawanna County and other Pennsylvania 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.
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.
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.
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 Lackawanna County Prison 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.
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.
Call 570-963-6639 to find out the exact bond (plus other fees) amount, or look it up online by looking up the information on the Lackawanna County inmate locator.
Because Lackawanna County and Pennsylvania can change their bail bond procedures, it is always best to call either the Lackawanna County Prison at 570-963-6639, 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 Lackawanna County Prison or the Lackawanna County Court Clerk these specific questions:
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.
