The EOCC is a low/medium-security detention center located at 470 SR 43 Wintersville, OH which is operated locally by the Jefferson Regional Authority and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates have been here for less than five years. EOCC accepts inmates from the Jefferson County Sheriff's arrests and surrounding towns, Wintersville 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.
The Eastern Ohio Correction Center (EOCC), also called the Wintersville Facility, is a regional facility serving the counties of Belmont, Carroll, Columbiana, Guernsey, Harrison, Jefferson, Monroe, and Noble. It is designated for adult male minimum-security state inmates who have less than one year remaining on their sentences.
The intake and screening process at EOCC follows eligibility and admission criteria established by the Judicial Corrections Board. Referrals come from the Courts of Common Pleas and involve felony offenders.
Upon admission, inmates participate in an Orientation Group that introduces the facility's rules and regulations in the EOCC Wintersville Inmate Handbook. This orientation outlines the expectations for successful completion of the EOCC program and the guidelines inmates must follow.
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.
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. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at $8.00.
Regarding medical information, the jail's medical staff is prohibited from discussing an inmate's medical status with family members due to medical privacy laws. When reporting to jail for a commitment, individuals may bring money for their commissary accounts and prescription medications in their original bottles. To expedite the booking process, it is advisable to bring a copy of the commitment to jail if available.
For male inmates, the Sex Offender Education Program (SOEP) aims to help offenders acknowledge their offenses and accept responsibility for their actions by the time of their release. This program uses the Ross and Loss psycho-educational curriculum for sex offenders and incorporates material from leading researchers and practitioners. The SOEP is delivered through didactic presentations in a group setting, utilizing lectures, handouts, classroom notes, and homework assignments. Objectives of the program include increasing awareness about sexual assault, understanding the impact on victims, identifying common motivations for sexual assault, recognizing cognitive distortions in the offending cycle, and implementing relapse prevention strategies.
