And getting info about the arrest? Not always easy. That's where this webpage comes in handy. It's here to help you get a handle on how things work at Lake County OH Adult Detention Facility so you can stay connected and support your loved one behind bars.
The Lake County OH Adult Detention Facility is a detention center located at 104 E Erie St Painesville, OH which is operated locally by the Lake 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. Lake County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Painesville 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 Lake County Sheriff’s Department, Division of Corrections currently offers one of the most extensive inmate programming curriculums found in Ohio’s County Jails, supported by a wide use of volunteers throughout the area.
Why is such programming critical to Lake County? A quick look at inmate demographics nationwide illustrates the problems we are faced with.

If we fail to address the major issues of drug/alcohol abuse, mental health, lack of education and homelessness we will be releasing back into our neighborhoods the same people who came to jail, with the same problems, only with increased problems associated with incarceration.
It is the philosophy of the Lake County Adult Detention Facilities to return inmates back to society better then when they first came to us. If we can help send inmates back home who are able to deal with their mental issues, who can stay off of drugs and alcohol, and who can obtain a GED so they can get better jobs, then we will be able to make homes safer for their children; our neighborhoods safer for the entire community; and reduce the burden of financial assistance for local government.
To address these issues and make real progress to realizing our goals, our programming offered to the inmates of the Lake County Jail includes:
Narcotics Anonymous sprang from the Alcoholics Anonymous Program of the late 1940s, with meetings first emerging in the Los Angeles area of California, USA, in the early Fifties. The NA program started as a small US movement that has grown into one of the world's oldest and largest organizations of its type. Narcotics Anonymous provides a recovery process and support network inextricably linked together. One of the keys to NA’s success is the therapeutic value of addicts working with other addicts. Members share their successes and challenges in overcoming active addiction and living drug-free productive lives through the application of the principles contained within the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of NA. These principles are the core of the Narcotics Anonymous recovery program.
Principles incorporated within the steps include:
In May 2014 the average number of inmates who attended NA meetings per week at the Lake County Jail are as follows:
G. E. D. General Educational Development
GED - General Educational Development
In November 1942, the United States Armed Forces Institute asked the American Council on Education (ACE) to develop a battery of tests to measure high school-level academic skills. These Tests of General Educational Development gave military personnel and veterans who had entered World War II service before completing high school a way to demonstrate their knowledge. Passing these tests gave returning soldiers and sailors the academic credentials they needed to get civilian jobs. More than 15 million people have received a GED credential since the program began.
The General Educational Development (GED) test measures secondary school academic proficiency equivalence and is recognized as the equivalent of a high school diploma. A new computer-based GED test was initiated in January 2014 and consists of four tests which can be studied for and taken separately. For Ohioans who did not finish high school, earning their GED credential is important to getting a good job, applying for a better job, and entering a workforce program or college.
Currently, the new computer-based GED test is administered at official GED test centers. Students must sign-up at MyGED.com in order to pay for and schedule tests at a nearby testing center. MyGED.com is the only official website for the test and is a helpful resource for anyone wishing to learn more.
GED classes at the Lake County Jail are part of the Auburn Career Center ABLE program. Class is held twice weekly to prepare for the test by strengthening skills in math, reading, and language. Adults 19 and older are eligible for services. Those who are 18 must provide an official withdrawal form from their school district before being admitted to the program.

Volunteer Librarians Dee Trepal and Edward Lord spend 10 hours or more per week facilitating the donations, up-keep, and distribution of books to the inmate population. Reading material includes educational, fiction, and non-fiction material.
Women In Transition Through Support Programming
The development of the jail Women in Transition Through Support Services program was created to offer on-site services and support for women during incarceration, as well as providing them with a continued resource and linkage to agencies within the area that can assist them in making a good transition back to the community, and to their family. W.I.T.T.S. is geared to facilitating quality changes in the lives of female offenders so that they can achieve their true potential to be active and contributing members in society, and most importantly, in the lives of their children and families. The program offers the female population services such as a Victim’s Assistance group that focuses on being a Victim, Female support Group, Parenting Classes, Zumba Classes, Yoga Classes, Vision Boarding, Domestic Violence, Blasts Groups and Employment series. http://www.lakecountyohio.gov/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=8pS29%2bxktpw%3d&tabid=1207

Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation
The Jail Treatment Program was developed in response to the needs of the Criminal Justice System. For Lake county judges and probation officers, it provides structured intensive chemical dependency treatment for clients in a setting where abstinence is insured. It also provides a unique opportunity to mete out logical consequences for crimes while simultaneously addressing the root cause of those crimes. For those offenders who have failed to successfully arrest their addiction through less restrictive means, the Jail Treatment Program provides a logical and cost effective alternative. #
Agencies and Services used for Continuing AfterCare Treatment include but not limited to:
The Lake County Detention Facilities offer inmates access to indoor and outdoor (weather permitting) recreational areas, as well as housing area exercise programming. An exercise video is shown everyday at 9:00 am and 6:00 pm so that the inmates can have additional exercise in their housing units.
Note: Contrary to misconceptions, there are no weight machines or swimming areas provided to the inmate population.
The Mental Health Counselors and area organizations provide Anger Management therapy to the inmate population. The goal of anger management is to reduce both your emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that anger causes. You can't get rid of, or avoid, the things or the people that enrage you, nor can you change them, but you can learn to control your reactions. Often the Jail works in conjunction with the Courts to provide inmates training on curbing the anger before returning back to their families.
The jail system has two full-time Mental health Consultants and a part-time psychiatrist employed by Beacon Health. These two mental health counselors are responsible for the screening of incoming prisoners for significant psychological issues and illnesses, whether it be from depression, suicide risk, schizophrenia, bipolar disorders or any other form of psychological illness or distress. They screen and prioritize those inmates needing to see the psychiatrist who may evaluate them a determine a treatment which includes possible medications. The counselors also supervise the placements of inmates into the designated mental health/special needs housing unit. Further, they respond to inmates in mental health crises, as well as monitoring the status of inmates on the mental health caseload, including those referred by the Lake County Courts.
The Medical Department provides and coordinates medical, dental and psychiatric services to the inmate population of the Lake County Adult Detention Center. These services include:
In addition to providing services to inmates, the medical staff provides first aid, TB tests and hepatitis inoculations to employees.
