Luzerne County was established in 1786 and is one of the several counties within PA that have a sheriff’s office and a jail that is operated by that office. As officers are making arrests in the community and protecting the safety of the county, each arrest results in transportation to the correctional facility for booking and holding for the arraignment, but services can also be served at this location after the sentence has been completed.
There are 16 local Magistrate District Justice Offices within this jurisdiction, and each is served by this facility. It also supports the Court of Common Pleas and represents the largest criminal justice agency within the county. The correctional facility is supported by several administrators, security officers, program managers, and volunteers who all focus on helping inmates leave the jail in a better mindset and with more skills than when they arrived. These efforts help with reintegration to go more smoothly and to reduce recidivism. Religious services are provided for those who choose to attend, and inmate accounts provide funds for their commissary purchases and phone calls.
SAVIN Inmate Lookup (aka Vinelink) allows for family, friends, police officers, attorneys, and victims to be notified about any change to the status or location of an inmate, including notifications of their release. This can help create a sense of security for those who are involved in cases.
Other programs that are available include commissary accounts, communication programs, and visitation privileges. To fund an inmate's commissary account deposits can be made at the kiosk in the lobby of the jail or online. Inmates at this facility are permitted two visitation days each week with one visit of 30 minutes on each of these days. Each housing unit has different days, with hours beginning at 8am and going as late as 9pm. When the inmate calls it is necessary to determine their housing unit and their visitation schedule to select an appropriate visitation time.
Mail is delivered to inmates as soon as possible after delivery but will first be checked for any contraband and to ensure the photographs are within guidelines. Phone calls are also monitored and can only be made to those who are on the phone call list, with calls and visits between inmates and lawyers being less monitored and not recorded or limited.
All the inmate services information referenced here is explained in detail below, with links to the various websites and phones. If you have further questions about an inmate or any of the subjects referenced on this page, call the jail ay 570-829-7741.
To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Luzerne County Correctional Facility, call the jail’s booking line at 570-829-7741.
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.
Luzerne County Correctional Facility 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 Luzerne 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 Luzerne 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 Luzerne County Correctional Facility 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 570-829-7741 to find out the exact bond (plus other fees) amount, or look it up online by looking up the information on the Luzerne County inmate locator.
Because Luzerne County and Pennsylvania can change their bail bond procedures, it is always best to call either the Luzerne County Correctional Facility at 570-829-7741, 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 Luzerne County Correctional Facility or the Luzerne 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.
