Logan County Inmate Population Overview
The local detention map is narrow but important. The official county and state sources identify one Logan County detention facility: Logan County Jail, operated by the Logan County Sheriff's Office. It is the first place to check for people arrested by the sheriff, Bellefontaine Police, village police departments, the Ohio State Highway Patrol on local charges, or another agency that lodges a person in county custody.
The Logan County inmate population counted at the jail is not the same as the Ohio prison population. The jail holds pretrial detainees, local jail sentences, people awaiting a hearing, people waiting for transfer, and work-release participants. A sentenced felony inmate from a Logan County case may later appear in the ODRC Offender Search instead of the county roster.
The older Miami Valley Jails page still appears online, but it should not be treated as the live Logan County roster. It shows the Logan County Sheriff's Office provider offline since November 14, 2022. The current county instruction is different: download the free Logan County Sheriff's Office app to view the inmate roster.
Logan County Inmate Population Statistics
The most useful current figures come from the county corrections page and the 2025 Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction jail inspection. The county describes the current jail as a 45,000-square-foot building built to hold up to 140 inmates. The 2025 ODRC inspection lists 136 actual general-housing beds and 65 inmates present on the September 30, 2025 inspection date.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Date |
|---|---|---|
| County-stated design capacity | Up to 140 inmates | Logan County Corrections, inspected June 24, 2026 |
| ODRC actual general housing capacity | 136 beds | ODRC Logan County Jail inspection, September 30, 2025 |
| Inmates present on inspection date | 65 | ODRC Logan County Jail inspection, September 30, 2025 |
| Standards met | 179 total | ODRC 2025 inspection: 53 Essential and 126 Important |
| Noncompliant standards | 0 | ODRC 2025 inspection |
Logan County Inmate Population Trends
The located inspection figures show a jail population below the current ODRC capacity in the most recent year and lower than the high point found in the research. The figures are inspection-day counts, not annual average daily population. That distinction matters because the Logan County inmate population can rise or fall with arrests, court schedules, bond decisions, transport timing, and state-prison transfers.
| Year / Source Date | Population Figure | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2018 ODRC snippet | 105 | Highest located inspection-day count in the research pass. |
| 2019 ODRC snippet | 76 | Lower than the 2018 count. |
| 2021 ODRC snippet | 59 | No official causal note was located. |
| 2023 ODRC snippet | 54 | Below the 136-bed current capacity. |
| 2025 ODRC inspection | 65 | About 47.8 percent of the 136-bed capacity. |
Logan County's jail capacity changed sharply over time. The county history describes an 1845-era jail that held up to 17 inmates, a 1983 facility with 34 beds, and the current jail opened in 2000 with a far larger design capacity. Those building changes explain why older local jail history should not be mixed with current inmate population limits.
Logan County Jail Capacity Rules
Ohio law and ODRC jail standards shape how the Logan County inmate population is housed and inspected. The ODRC report reviewed reception and release, classification, security, housing, sanitation, communication, visitation, medical and mental health services, food service, recreation, programming, discipline, segregation, grievance, staffing, and staff training.
Key Ohio rules:
ORC 149.43 is the public-records starting point for non-exempt jail and booking records held by public offices.
ORC Chapter 341 covers Ohio county jails and the sheriff's jail-custody duties.
ORC 5120.10 authorizes minimum jail standards, which support ODRC inspection of full-service jails.
OAC Chapter 5120:1-8 contains full-service jail standards for operations, housing, health, visitation, and security.
Who Is in Logan County Custody
The county jail holds more than one type of inmate record. A newly arrested person may be booked while awaiting a first appearance. Another person may serve a misdemeanor jail sentence. A third may be held on a warrant, a local court order, a transfer, or a work-release approval. The public roster should be read as a current custody tool, not a full criminal-history report.
- Pretrial detainee
- A person held before the case has been resolved in court.
- Sentenced inmate
- A person serving a jail or prison sentence after a court disposition.
- Detainer
- A hold or request from another agency that can affect release.
- Work release
- A program that lets an approved inmate leave for work and return to custody.
Official sources did not publish a detailed Logan County demographic split by race, age, charge type, felony level, or pretrial status. The county visitation schedule separates male and female visits, and ODRC inspection categories confirm classification and housing rules, but those sources do not give a demographic table.
Search Logan County Jail Roster
The primary current channel for a Logan County jail roster search is the Logan County Sheriff's Office app. The official corrections page says the inmate roster is viewed by downloading the free app. The same county page says JailATM funds and video calls can be reached by downloading the sheriff app and going to Inmate Services.
- Download the Logan County Sheriff's Office app from Google Play or the Apple App Store.
- Open the roster or Inmate Services area in the app.
- Search the current roster for the person in Logan County jail custody.
- If the app does not return the person, call the jail at 937-592-8111 or sheriff/dispatch at 937-592-5731.
- Use ODRC, BOP, ICE, or Ohio VINE if the person is no longer in local county custody.
The app roster fields were not visible in the research environment because the app was not installed. The old Miami Valley page exposes last-name filters and A-Z links, but it is offline for Logan County and should be used only to understand why an older web search may show no Logan records.
| Visible Legacy Field | Type | Use | Logan County Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last | Text or letter filter | Search by last name | Legacy page only |
| A-Z letters | Letter links | Browse by first letter of surname | Legacy page only |
| Link | Printable roster view | Legacy page only | |
| Last update | Timestamp | Shows provider freshness | LOGA-JAIL offline since 2022 |
Logan County Inmate Record Fields
If the app does not show a field, the practical next step is to call the jail or request the booking record from the sheriff. A sheriff booking record may include more than the public roster view, while medical, security, juvenile, victim, property, and sealed details may be withheld or redacted under Ohio law.
| Record Field | What It May Show |
|---|---|
| Name and aliases | Identifying names used in the booking record. |
| Booking or arrest date | When jail intake or arrest processing occurred. |
| Arresting agency | The sheriff, police department, patrol, or other agency involved. |
| Charges and statute references | Booking allegations entered at intake, which may differ from filed court charges. |
| Bond type or amount | Release conditions if a bond has been set and no hold blocks release. |
| Custody or release status | Whether the person remains in jail, was released, or was transferred. |
State and Federal Inmate Lookup
A person sentenced from Logan County to state prison leaves the county jail population once admitted to the Ohio prison system. ODRC searches cover people incarcerated in Ohio prisons, under department supervision, judicially released, released, under APA supervision, or listed as violators at large. County of Commitment means the sentencing county, not the person's home county.
| Custody Type | Where to Search | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Logan County jail | Sheriff app roster and jail phone | Pretrial custody, local sentences, work release, short-term holds. |
| Ohio state prison | ODRC Offender Search | Prison custody, APA supervision, released status, violators at large. |
| Federal custody | BOP Inmate Locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator | Current ICE custody and some recent CBP custody. |
| Notification | Ohio VINE | Custody status and victim-notification registration. |
Logan County Detention Facilities
Only one detention facility appears in the Logan County facility map. No state prison, federal prison, ICE detention center, city jail, regional jail, separate annex, or work-release center was identified in official county and state facility sources for Logan County.
- Logan County Jail is the full-service county jail for pretrial detainees, local jail sentences, work release, transfers, and short-term holds.
For a Logan County arrest that later becomes a prison sentence, the custody record moves away from this facility and into statewide ODRC systems. For federal or immigration cases, the correct locator is BOP or ICE, not the county jail roster.
Logan County Jail Visits
The county corrections page gives in-person visitation rules and times. Inmates may list up to three permitted visitors at booking and may change that list every 15 days. Visitors must be on the inmate's list. Visitors under 18 must come with a parent or guardian, and visitors cannot be on probation, parole, or registered sex offenders.
| Population | Day | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Males | Tuesday | 7:00 p.m.-8:30 p.m. |
| Males | Thursday | 9:00 a.m.-10:30 a.m. |
| Males | Sunday | 1:30 p.m.-3:00 p.m. |
| Females | Tuesday | 6:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. |
| Females | Thursday | 10:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. |
| Females | Sunday | 12:30 p.m.-1:30 p.m. |
The county also links JailATM for inmate account funds and video calls. It does not publish a detailed fee table, phone-call price list, mail scan rule, or book-vendor rule in the located official pages.
Logan County Court Records After Booking
Booking charges are not always the final charges. After a Logan County jail arrest, a case may route to Bellefontaine Municipal Court for many misdemeanor, traffic, and ordinance matters, or to Logan County Common Pleas General Division for felony-level matters. The Logan County CourtView/eServices portal states that Common Pleas public records begin with June 1988 and require a CAPTCHA before search.
For the court side of the arrest path, use the Logan County court records after jail arrest page. For booking photos, use the Logan County jail mugshots page. Those records overlap with custody, but they are not the same record.
