When someone is first arrested they will be brought to the jail, then arraigned the following business day by video. If you want to be present, you need to go to Municipal Court, 70 N. Union St., Delaware, 2nd floor. The arraignement hours are 9:30 a.m. Monday, and 10:00 a.m. Tuesday thru Friday. The acytual times may vary based on what is gpoing on in court that day.

If you wish to pay bond, and don't want to use a Bail Bond Agency in Delaware County, this is also done at the Municipal Court building, 70 N. Union St.

In order to help inmates to reintegrate into society there is both a program with that focus as well as visitation and other communication with their family and friends who are able to visit and accept phone calls. Visits are available at the jail using their video visitation service on Tuesday and Thursday evening, and both day and evening visits on the weekends. A complete schedule is located in the Visitation section below. Mail can be sent to inmates, though it will be checked for contraband before being given to the addressee. There are limits on what you can send so check the rules in the Mail Section below or on the Inmate Mail page.

Some inmates are offered jobs working in the office or administration jobs for the jail. This program offers an opportunity to have a task and a purpose each day, as well as encouraging involvement in their community and working together, all while reducing some of the cost of staff to complete the jobs. These tasks include laundry, clothing, cooking, and more. Work Release Programs are also run by the same staff, however it is located down the street from the jail itself. This program assists inmates to find local work and to help them reintegrate into society upon their release. Both of these programs are intended to provide inmates hope for a strong reintegration and help make their release easier for both them and their families.

Recent Bookings & Arrests

How do I find out if someone has been arrested and booked into the Delaware County Jail?

To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Delaware County Jail, call the jail’s booking line at 740-833-2840.

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.

Delaware County Jail Booking Roster

What happens during booking in Delaware County?

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 Delaware 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.

What is the booking process like at the Delaware County Jail?

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 Delaware County and other Ohio 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.

What kind of questions are asked during booking?

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.

What happens to an offender’s personal property during booking?

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.

What happens after booking?

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 Delaware County Jail 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.

How long does the Delaware County Jail Booking process take?

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.

Inmate Bail and Bonding

If you wish to pay bond, and don't want to use a Bail Bond Agency in Delaware County, this is also done at the Municipal Court building, 70 N. Union St., Delaware, Ohio.

Delaware County Bail Bond Information

Because Delaware County and Ohio can change their bail bond procedures, it is always best to call either the Delaware County Jail at 740-833-2840, 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 Delaware County Jail or the Delaware County Court Clerk these specific questions:

  1. Is the defendant eligible for bail or a bond?
  2. How much will the bail or bond be, and what are the additional fees?
  3. Where do I go to pay it?
  4. Are there any days or times of the day or night when I cannot post bail?
  5. What types of payment are allowed? Cash? Money order? Credit card? What types of credit cards? Property or other collateral? Surety bonds?
  6. Do I have to use a bail or bond agent?

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.
