Auglaize County Jail Overview

Auglaize County Correctional Center is a full-service county jail operated by the Auglaize County Sheriff's Office. The official sheriff page names Sheriff Michael L. Vorhees and places both the sheriff's office and the jail complex at the Dearbaugh Avenue campus in Wapakoneta. For jail questions, the correctional center phone is the most direct line; the sheriff main office line is separate and is useful for broader sheriff office questions, public-record routing, or agency contact.

The jail holds people booked by the sheriff, city police departments, state patrol, courts, and other committing agencies. That population includes pretrial detainees, locally sentenced inmates, work release or inmate-worker classifications, medical housing, female violent and non-violent classifications, and short-term holds before court, release, or transfer. No official source reviewed identified a separate state prison, federal Bureau of Prisons facility, or ICE detention center inside Auglaize County, so the local facility page should not be treated as a statewide or federal prison locator.

Auglaize County Jail Capacity

The capacity facts for Auglaize County Correctional Center need two labels because the county and the state inspection use different frames. The county's correctional center page publishes a holding capacity of 101 by classification. ODRC's 2025 annual jail inspection reports an actual general housing capacity and recommended housing capacity of 72. On the June 17, 2025 inspection date, 24 inmates were incarcerated. Those figures are not interchangeable. The county table describes local holding categories, while the ODRC number is the general housing capacity used for state jail-standards review.

ODRC also found the jail compliant with 178 reviewed standards, including 53 Essential standards and 125 Important standards, with 0 noncompliant standards. The reviewed areas included reception and release, classification, security, housing, sanitation, communication, visitation, medical and mental health services, food service, recreation and programming, discipline, administrative segregation, grievance, staffing, and staff training. The inspection result is strong official context for the facility's conditions, but it should not be stretched into claims about current population, annual bookings, or average length of stay because those measures were not located in official Auglaize sources reviewed.

The county's Correctional Center page shows the facility capacity, video visitation schedule, and listed communication rates.

The screenshot is useful because it ties the county-published capacity table to the same official source that lists video visitation and NCIC communication details.

Auglaize County Jail Roster Search

The correct lookup path for Auglaize County Correctional Center starts at the sheriff's inmate lookup gateway. That gateway includes a scam warning, public-record notice, and data-currency disclaimer before sending users into the active database. The live Auglaize County Inmate Inquiry search is free and public. It searches county jail records, not Ohio prison custody, federal prison custody, or immigration detention.

Use the jail roster for current and recent county bookings. The Recent button can show both people still in custody and people already released, so the Release Date and InCustody fields matter. The Include Archive Records checkbox may broaden a search, but Auglaize County does not publish the archive range on the roster page. For a broader custody question, use the ODRC Offender Search after state sentencing, the BOP Inmate Locator for sentenced federal prisoners, or ICE Online Detainee Locator for current immigration detention.

1. Open the sheriff inmate lookup gateway and select the agreement link after reading the local notices.
2. Search by Booking # when known, because it is tied to one booking episode.
3. Search by Last Name first when the booking number is unknown, then add First Name if results are broad.
4. Use Recent to browse new bookings and recent releases, then check Release Date and InCustody before assuming the person is held.
5. Open the Booking # link to view the full detail page with mugshot, booking data, charges, statute, bond, case number, and disposition fields.

Auglaize County Booking Records

A public roster detail page for Auglaize County Correctional Center can show more than a results grid. The inspected sample showed a full mugshot, inmate ID number, booking number, booking date, release date field, name fields, city, state, zip code, DOB, race, sex, height, weight, hair, eyes, gang field, charge rows, statute, statute description, bond type, bond amount, case number, and disposition. Some fields can be blank. A blank field is not proof that no data exists in the internal jail file.

The sheriff gateway also warns that a Certificate of Arrest is provided by the booking or arresting agency and does not necessarily reflect final court charges, official indictments, or final dispositions. That means a jail profile is best read as a custody and booking record. Court charges after the arrest should be checked through the clerk's CourtView portals, while longer-term prison custody should be checked through ODRC after sentencing.

Auglaize County Jail Visitation

Auglaize County Correctional Center has moved from face-to-face visitation to video visitation. The county identifies NCIC as the remote visitation provider and says all remote visits must be reserved through NCIC. On-site video visitation is still available through a facility kiosk on the published weekend schedule, but it is not traditional face-to-face visiting. Visitors should confirm identification, dress, child-visitor, visit-length, and registration rules before planning a visit because those details were not located on the official county pages reviewed.

Attorney visits may be handled apart from public video visits, but no official Auglaize attorney-visit schedule or rule page was located in the reviewed sources. Attorneys, clergy, and professional visitors should arrange access directly with the jail or court rather than relying on the public family-visit schedule.

NCIC Fees at Auglaize Jail

The official correctional center page lists NCIC communication rates for calls, video visits, voicemail, messages, media messages, GIFs, and a live operator transaction fee for friends and family prepaid account funding. Those are the only detailed money-related fees located in the official jail pages reviewed. The county pages did not publish a complete commissary vendor, package policy, money-deposit kiosk process, or deposit fee schedule, so those items should be confirmed by calling the jail before sending funds or packages.

Auglaize Jail Mail and Commissary

No official Auglaize County jail mail rules page was located in the reviewed county sources. Ohio's full-service jail reception and release rule requires inmate rules to cover mail, correspondence, telephone access, visitation, hygiene, medical care, recreation, programs, discipline, and grievance procedures, but the public county pages did not expose a complete inmate handbook or mail-address format. Do not import another Ohio county's mail rules. Confirm the current address format and restrictions with Auglaize County Correctional Center before mailing letters, photos, books, money orders, cards, or packages.

No official Auglaize commissary page, package vendor, deposit kiosk instruction page, or full deposit fee table was located in the sources reviewed. The NCIC fee table covers communication and account funding fees listed by the county, but it does not answer commissary ordering or deposit rules. The safest phrasing is that commissary and deposit details were not located in official Auglaize sources reviewed, and the correctional center should be contacted for current instructions.

Auglaize County Jail Intake

Because ODRC classifies the facility as a full-service jail, Ohio Administrative Code 5120:1-8-01 is the best state rule for understanding intake. It requires reception and release documentation, legal commitment to the jail, officer identification, booking and identification records, photo or identification bracelet, telephone access after reception, property inventory, inmate rules, and release or transfer records. The public roster shows only selected fields from that larger internal record.

Intake begins after an arrest, court commitment, warrant service, or transfer by a committing agency. The public-facing result may not appear at once because the sheriff gateway says jail data can lag. If the booking is recent, a family member may need to search again later or call the correctional center. If the person is sentenced to state prison later, the county jail record may show release or transfer, and the ODRC locator becomes the better custody tool after state intake.

Auglaize County Records Channels

Public jail records in Auglaize County sit inside a larger access chain. The sheriff inmate lookup is available as a public service under Ohio Revised Code 149.43, and Ohio Revised Code 341.02 requires the sheriff to keep a jail register with prisoner name, commitment details, and discharge details. For records not visible online, the sheriff page states that public-records requests can be made by telephone, fax, email, or the county public website utility portal. The sheriff email listed in the research is sheriff@auglaizecounty.org, and the fax number is 419-739-6566.

The Auglaize County Sheriff iOS app and Google Play app exist as public-safety communication tools. Store descriptions mention reporting crimes, submitting tips, interactive features, and public safety news and information. No app-store text reviewed explicitly advertised an app-only inmate roster, warrant search, most-wanted list, records request tool, commissary deposit, or bail-payment feature, so those features should not be claimed for the app.

Note: For custody notifications rather than one-time roster searches, Ohio VINE is available at VINELink for Ohio.

Auglaize Jail Local Context

The Auglaize County jail and the county courthouse are different public destinations. Jail custody, video visitation, inmate records, and correctional center calls route to Dearbaugh Avenue. Court filings, formal charges, prosecutor matters, and clerk searches route through the court and courthouse systems. This distinction matters because the sheriff's roster may show arrest or booking charges before the court case reflects the final charging path.

A 2025 local news report said Auglaize County completed a $6.5 million jail expansion after earlier planning and construction work, with added space tied to female beds and medical or mental-health areas. That local report is useful background, but the official capacity authority remains the county correctional center page and the ODRC inspection. The inspected ODRC categories also support the facility's emphasis on medical housing, mental health review, segregation, grievance, and staff training.
