The Ottawa County OH Detention Center is a detention center located at 1862 E Perry St Port Clinton, OH which is operated locally by the Ottawa 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. Ottawa County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Port Clinton 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 Corrections Division is the largest division within the Sheriff’s Office, employing 24 full-time Corrections Deputies and an Administrator. The Corrections Division operates two jails, the Detention Facility (Full-Service) and a Minimum Security Jail.

The Detention Facility is a 41-bed facility housing adult men and women charged with or convicted of Misdemeanor and/or Felony offenses. The Minimum Security Jail is a 48-bed dormitory style facility. Even though the court might say that they will make it available, the jail makes a final determination of who can be housed there. If an offender qualifies for the Minimum Security jail then inmates are able to bring in certain things with you.

Inmates can bring two pair of plain gray sweatpants and sweatshirts, but they must not have zippers, hoodies, or writing of any kind on them. T-shirts and yoga pants will not be accepted. You may also bring in predominately white colored tennis shoes. Women can bring three pair of white regular underwear and a white bra as long as it has no underwire in it. You may bring in three books but they must be donated to the facility. If you bring your own bible in you may take it with you when you are released. If you bring in your own sweats then you may also bring in a $10.00 roll of quarters to do your own laundry. If you get work release then you may bring your work clothes with you but you only have a small locker so you can not fit a lot of items in there. Work release and House Arrest is set up through probation before coming to the jail.
