Ohio Counties

Ohio has 88 counties, each with its own sheriff's office that runs the county jail. The sheriff keeps booking records, current inmate rosters, and release data at the local level. County clerks of courts hold criminal case files with charges and dispositions. For state prison inmates, use the ODRC Offender Search.
