Wyoming County Inmate Lookup
No official public online Wyoming County jail roster or inmate search portal was located in the county sources reviewed. The county publishes correctional facility pages, inmate information pages, rules, visitation schedules, phone rules, mail rules, FAQ material, and handbook downloads, but not a searchable public list of current detainees. That means online name-search claims should be treated with care unless they come from a state, court, or official custody source.
The local custody source is the Wyoming County Correctional Facility at 10 Stark Street in Tunkhannock. The facility detains pretrial and post-trial inmates as ordered by courts and provides programs tied to education, work, recreation, religious services, and health needs. For custody status, call or contact the facility. For court status, search UJS. For a state-sentenced person or parolee, use the Pennsylvania DOC locator. For custody alerts, use VINELink Pennsylvania.
The Wyoming County Correctional Facility overview describes the jail's public-safety role, detainee population, programs, and handbook links.
That overview is the main official source for the local facility because Wyoming County did not publish a public roster in the reviewed pages.
Use Wyoming County Inmate Channels
A useful Wyoming County inmate search starts by choosing the right channel. A person held at the county correctional facility will not appear in the PA DOC locator unless that person is a state-sentenced inmate or parolee. A court docket can show charges, bail, hearings, and disposition, but it is not a jail custody roster. VINELink can provide notification where participating custody data is available, but it should not be treated as the full county booking file.
- For current local custody questions, contact the Wyoming County Correctional Facility through the county facility page or published phone channels.
- For case status, search UJS Case Search by name, docket number, OTN, complaint number, incident number, or SID.
- For state-sentenced inmates or parolees, use the Pennsylvania DOC inmate and parolee locator.
- For custody alerts and victim notification, use VINELink Pennsylvania.
- For records that are not otherwise available, use the county Right-to-Know path while expecting restrictions for safety and privacy.
The county inmate information page links to visitation, phone, mail, and FAQ material for Wyoming County inmates.
Those official subpages supply the practical rules that replace a public roster for many family, visitor, and account questions.
Wyoming County Inmate Search Fields
Because no public county roster was found, the search-field table reflects the actual official channels documented in the research. Use names carefully. If a name is common, a docket number, OTN, complaint number, or state inmate number can prevent a mismatch. The court record may show criminal case progress, while the jail can answer custody and facility-rule questions.
| Channel | Fields or Inputs | Coverage | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wyoming County public roster | Not located | No official public roster found | Use phone, contact form, in-person, or Right-to-Know fallback. |
| PA DOC locator | Name or inmate/parolee identifying information | State-sentenced inmates and parolees | Does not include county-facility inmates. |
| UJS Case Search | Participant name, docket number, OTN, complaint number, incident number, SID | Criminal case and court status | Shows court record, not a live jail roster. |
| VINELink Pennsylvania | Name or custody notification search inputs | Custody notification where available | Useful for alerts, not complete court records. |
Wyoming County Inmate Record Details
A county inmate profile is not available through an official public Wyoming County roster in the reviewed sources. Still, custody questions often involve the same categories of information. Some fields are held by the facility, some by the court, and some by state systems. The distinction matters because a booking or custody record can change faster than a court docket, and a court docket can include charges that do not prove current custody.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The person being searched, which must be matched carefully against court or custody records. |
| Custody status | Whether the person is held locally, state-sentenced, on parole, released, or not found in the searched channel. |
| Booking or commitment date | Facility intake timing when available from the jail, not from a court docket alone. |
| Charges | Filed accusations or docket charges, usually confirmed through UJS or the Clerk of Courts. |
| Bail or bond | Release terms if public and shown in the court record. |
| Court dates | Scheduled criminal events in Common Pleas or Magisterial District Court. |
| Housing block | Facility classification detail, generally not published as a broad public roster field. |
Note: A UJS docket can help explain why a person is in court, but it does not prove current county jail custody.
State Custody and Alerts
PA DOC and VINELink fill gaps that a Wyoming County jail roster cannot fill. The Pennsylvania DOC inmate and parolee locator is for state-sentenced inmates and parolees, and the research notes that it is updated daily. It does not include people held in county facilities, people incarcerated in another state, or private information that is not released through the state locator. A person who has recently moved from county court custody into a state sentence may appear there after the state system updates.
VINELink Pennsylvania is a custody-notification service. It is useful when the goal is to receive alerts about custody changes where the person and agency participate in the notification system. It should be used with the local facility contact path and UJS, not as the only source. Court dockets can show pending hearings, bail, sentencing, and case disposition; VINELink can help with alerting; PA DOC can help with state custody. Each one answers a different inmate record question.
| Question | Best Starting Point | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Is the person in the county jail? | Wyoming County Correctional Facility contact path | No public county roster was found, so the facility is the local custody source. |
| Is the person state-sentenced or on parole? | PA DOC locator | The state locator covers DOC inmates and parolees, not county detainees. |
| What is the criminal case status? | UJS Case Search | The court docket can show charges, events, bail, disposition, and sentencing. |
| Can custody alerts be sent? | VINELink Pennsylvania | VINELink provides notification where custody data and registration are available. |

Wyoming County Inmate Visitation
Wyoming County describes visitation as important for preserving family and friend relationships, but it is a privilege subject to jail rules. Visitors need valid photo identification such as a driver's license, passport, or acceptable state or federal ID. Each visitor must sign in and provide name, address, and relationship to the inmate. The schedule is organized by block, with separate windows for disciplinary segregated males and females.
| Block or Status | Day and Time |
|---|---|
| Alpha | Monday 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m.; Thursday 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. |
| Bravo | Tuesday 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m.; Friday 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. |
| Charlie | Tuesday 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m.; Friday 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. |
| Delta | Monday 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m.; Thursday 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. |
| Echo | Saturday 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m.; Sunday 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. |
| Disciplinary segregated males | Wednesday 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m.; 30 minutes total. |
| Disciplinary segregated females | Wednesday 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m.; 30 minutes total. |
The official visitation rules page gives the cellblock schedule and visitor ID requirements.
The block schedule is highly local to Wyoming County and should be checked before travel because status changes can affect visits.
Wyoming County Inmate Phone and Mail
Cellblock phones use SecurusTech. Incoming calls are blocked. New commitments receive an Inmate Telephone Number Request Form, and up to ten numbers may be added to a call list. General population phone hours are 10:00 a.m.-2:25 p.m. and 4:15 p.m.-10:25 p.m. Phones must be ended during lockdowns. Securus support contacts in the research include 800-844-6591, Spanish support at 866-561-6718, fax 800-578-2627, customer_service@securustech.net, and www.SecurusTech.net.
Inmates may send and receive an unlimited number of USPS letters each week. Incoming non-legal mail is opened and inspected for contraband. Legal mail from attorneys, courts, DOC personnel, and public officials is opened and inspected for contraband in the inmate's presence. Correspondence with an alleged victim is prohibited. Books and magazines must come directly from vendors, and outgoing mail should use the inmate name, block, cell number, facility name, and 10 Stark Street address.
The inmate phone rules page identifies SecurusTech and the general population calling windows.
Those phone rules are separate from court docket access and should be used for communication questions rather than case lookup.
The inmate mail policy page lists inspection rules, prohibited mail items, and the outgoing return-address format.
The mail policy is important because common items such as stamps, blank envelopes, Polaroid photographs, stickers, and novelty cards can be rejected.
Wyoming County Inmate Funds
Money and commissary rules are narrow. Cashier checks or money orders can be mailed to the facility with the inmate name included. Money orders cannot be dropped off. Accounts are updated Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., excluding holidays. Only money orders are accepted, and the county FAQ states that no more than $50 per inmate is allowed. Commissary orders are placed by inmates once each week for approved personal hygiene items, writing materials, food items, clothing, and hobby craft items.
| Item | Wyoming County Rule |
|---|---|
| Accepted funds | Cashier checks or money orders by mail. |
| Drop-off funds | Money orders cannot be dropped off. |
| Limit | No more than $50 per inmate. |
| Account updates | Monday-Friday 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m., holidays excluded. |
| Commissary | Inmates order once weekly from approved items. |
The inmate FAQ page covers money orders, commissary, account limits, and warnings about scams.
The scam warning is a practical custody detail because the facility cautions people not to place funds on accounts for inmates they do not know.
Wyoming County Jail Programs
The correctional facility programs documented by the county include medical and mental-health screening, GED opportunities, religious services, literacy support, recreation, work programs, and MyCarePack. Medical service fees listed in the research are doctor $5, optometrist $5, dentist $5, nurse $3, and prescriptions $5. The county states that medical care is provided regardless of an inmate's account balance.
These program details are not a roster substitute. They help explain custody conditions and services for a person already known to be held locally. If the question is whether a person has a criminal case, UJS is the better search path. If the question is whether the person is a state inmate or parolee, PA DOC is the better search path. If the question is current county custody, the facility contact path remains the local source.
