Contacting Inmates in Union County Facilities

Once you find an in­mate, you may want to make con­tact. Each place has its own rules.

Sending Mail

Mail is a key way to stay in touch.

• Ad­dress mail with the in­mate's full name and ID num­ber.

• Use the cor­rect ad­dress for the jail or fa­cil­i­ty.

Some jails now scan all mail and give the in­mate a dig­i­tal copy. This is to stop drugs from get­ting in. Check the rules for the right jail.

Phone Calls

In­mates can make phone calls out. They can­not take calls in.

• Phone calls are oft­en made through a ser­vice like Se­cu­rus Tech­nolo­gies or CPC (Com­bined Pub­lic Com­mu­ni­ca­tions). The Tri-Coun­ty Re­gion­al Jail site men­tions CPCjail.com for phone ser­vices.

• Fam­i­ly and friends can put mon­ey in an in­mate's com­mis­sary ac­count.

• Tri-Coun­ty Re­gion­al Jail's site or of­fi­cials may list pre­ferred ven­dors.

They list the case, the dates, and what the judge said. You can find out about the charges, fines, and if the per­son was found guilty. These files are kept by the courts.

Union County Clerk of Courts

The Un­ion Coun­ty Clerk of Courts keeps re­cords for the Court of Com­mon Pleas. This court hears big civ­il cases and fel­o­ny crimes.

• You can search for some court re­cords on­line through their Pub­lic Re­cords Search (Court­View) plat­form, if avail­able. Check the of­fi­cial Un­ion Coun­ty web­site.

Additional Ohio Resources

There are state-lev­el tools that can help.

• Vic­tim No­ti­fi­ca­tion: Ro­ber­ta's Law in Ohio gives vic­tims rights. They can be told of an in­mate's re­lease or pa­role hear­ings. The ODRC web­site has forms for this.

• Reg­is­tered Sex Of­fend­ers: The ODRC links to the state's sex of­fend­er list. You can search this to find of­fend­ers in your area. This is for pub­lic safe­ty. The lo­cal Sher­iff's Of­fice al­so keeps track of these of­fend­ers.

• Pa­role Vi­o­la­tors at Large: The ODRC web­site lists peo­ple who have bro­ken pa­role and are want­ed.

These state tools give a wide view. They are not just for Un­ion Coun­ty. But they can be use­ful if you can­not find some­one through lo­cal search­es. Or if the per­son was moved to a state site. Laws like the Ohio Sen­ate Bill 160 (Ro­ber­ta's Law) are there to help keep vic­tims safe and told what is go­ing on.
