The opening of the Tri-County Regional Jail marked the end of an era in Madison County. The Jail was a two-story building separated by two sections, splitting up the male and female inmate population. Now closed, all offenders arrested by the Madison County Sheriff are held at the Tri-County Regional Jail.

The inauguration of the Regional Jail on December 8, 2000, signified a transformative milestone in the history of Madison County's correctional system. Before this, the county jail had consistently been situated adjacent to the courthouse since the county's establishment in the early 1800s. Over the years, two courthouses had been constructed and subsequently destroyed by fire by the end of the 19th century. In response to these losses, a new fireproof courthouse and Sheriff’s Office were erected in 1890 at the intersection of Main Street and High Street in London, marking the beginning of a more secure and enduring era for the county's judicial and law enforcement infrastructure.

Inmate Locator

Finding an Inmate at Madison County OH Sheriff

If you're trying to locate someone in custody at Madison County OH Sheriff in London, Ohio, the fastest path depends on how recently the arrest happened, what type of facility holds the inmate, and how quickly that facility updates its public records. There is no single nationwide inmate database that covers every detention facility in real time, so locating a specific person often means checking multiple sources or calling Madison County OH Sheriff directly at 740-852-1332.

Using the InmateAid Inmate Search

The InmateAid inmate search is the fastest starting point for locating someone at Madison County OH Sheriff. The search pulls from facility rosters, booking systems, and arrest record databases to return current custody status, charges, and housing facility. If the person was arrested or transferred recently and doesn't appear yet, the facility likely hasn't updated its public roster, which can lag by hours or a full business day. Try again later or call 740-852-1332 to confirm.

When the Inmate Doesn't Appear in the Search

Several explanations are possible if a person isn't showing up. The booking may not be complete. The person may have been released, transferred to another facility, or moved to federal or immigration custody. Some facilities deliberately delay public records by 24 to 72 hours for security reasons. Minors are never published in any public locator regardless of facility. To rule out a transfer or release, call 740-852-1332 and ask the booking desk to confirm current status.

What You'll Need to Search Effectively

Have ready: full legal name and any aliases, date of birth, and approximate date of arrest. If you know which agency made the arrest, that narrows results significantly. A booking number locates the record immediately. Without at least a full name and approximate date, searches return too many results to be useful.

Once You've Located the Inmate

When you confirm the person is at Madison County OH Sheriff, set up a prepaid phone account so you don't miss the first call, and arrange any money transfer or commissary funding needed. For phone discount plans, money transfer, and mail services available at Madison County OH Sheriff, see InmateAid's inmate services and call 740-852-1332.
