The Clark Co Jail is a detention center located at 120 N Fountain Ave Springfield, OH which is operated locally by the Clark County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Clark County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Springfield Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for Ohio here.

Incarcerated individuals in Clark County have access to a diverse range of services and programming aimed at supporting their rehabilitation and successful reintegration into the community upon release. These services, offered at no cost to the inmates, are provided by various agencies and organizations within the county. The overarching goal is to empower inmates to become productive members of society and reduce recidivism rates. Key areas of focus for these services and programming include mental health support, substance abuse treatment, educational opportunities such as GED programs, and spiritual guidance through chaplaincy services. These resources are essential in addressing the complex needs of incarcerated individuals and equipping them with the skills and support necessary for a positive transition back into the community. For further information on available service providers and resources, individuals can refer to additional resources provided by the Clark County authorities.

Books and magazines ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate.

Commissary is available weekly, with orders submitted via kiosk two days in advance. On holidays, orders may be doubled. Indigent inmates must miss two commissary days to receive a weekly indigent pack containing basic hygiene items, and indigent mail is stamped only for the Attorney of Record or the Court. Upon receiving commissary items, inmates must present their ID, check their order, and sign for it in the presence of the commissary employee.

The jail offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Alternatively, setting up an account through a third-party phone company may entail high fees per minute of usage. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged. You may send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at $8.00.
