Pike County Correctional Facility Overview
Pike County Correctional Facility is operated locally through the Pike County correctional system and the Pike County Prison Board. It is the primary physical detention building for Pike County. The county describes the jail as a direct-supervision correctional facility, meaning staff supervision and housing design are part of the daily control model. The facility holds male and female local offenders, including people awaiting court action and people serving local sentences.
The facility also has federal and immigration detention functions. Pike County's official correctional facility page states that federal inmates and ICE civil commitments are housed by contract, and the county links to the ICE locator. That makes custody status important. A local Pike County defendant, a federal hold, and an ICE civil detainee may all be connected to the same building, but the lookup systems, court records, release rules, and notices can differ.
The official Pike County Correctional Facility page shows the local source for the facility's address, phone, leadership, capacity, programs, PREA notice, mail-change notice, and inmate funds link.
The county page is useful for facility facts and account services, but it does not provide a public Pike County jail roster or booking-photo list.
Pike County Correctional Facility Stats
The county publishes strong building facts for Pike County Correctional Facility, but it does not publish a current daily population dashboard in the official pages reviewed. Use the capacity and building figures as facility scale, not as proof of how many people are in custody today. Current custody should still be confirmed with the facility or the proper locator.
The facility is listed as non-smoking and located on a county-government and public-safety campus in Blooming Grove Township. No separate city jail, regional jail, Pennsylvania DOC prison, BOP prison, or stand-alone ICE building in Pike County was found in official sources.
Lookup Pike County Correctional Facility Inmates
There is no official online Pike County Correctional Facility roster located in the county sources reviewed. For local custody, call the facility first. For court data, search the Pennsylvania court system after charges are filed. For state-sentenced custody, use DOC. For immigration detention, use ICE ODLS. For sentenced federal custody, use BOP. A person with a federal or ICE hold may not fit cleanly into a local jail search.
- Call Pike County Correctional Facility at 570-775-5500 with the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, arresting agency, and approximate booking date.
- Ask whether the person is a local criminal detainee, a federal hold, an ICE detainee, or someone who has already transferred out.
- Check Pike County inmate records fallback channels if staff cannot release the record by phone.
- Search UJS Case Search for charges, bail entries, court events, warrants, and dispositions after the criminal case is filed.
- Use Pennsylvania VINELink for custody or case notifications when the person is in a covered system.
- Use Pennsylvania DOC, ICE ODLS, or the BOP locator when the custody type points outside a local Pike County jail record.
Pike County Correctional Facility Contact
The facility contact card is the main route for local jail custody, family visit questions, mail rules, deposits, attorney access, and intake questions. Court records and criminal filings are handled separately through Pike County court offices and UJS, but the facility is the place to confirm whether someone is physically held there.

Pike County Facility Visitation
The public county page does not publish a full family or personal visitation timetable in the inspected material. It does link a Virtual Attorney Visitation resource, and it provides public office hours for the correctional facility. Do not treat office hours as visit hours. Call before traveling and confirm the inmate's custody status, approval rules, ID requirements, visitor entry point, dress rules, and whether the person is under a hold that changes the visit process.
| Visit Type | Schedule or Route | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Family or personal visits | No public timetable located in official inspected pages | Confirm with the facility before travel. |
| Attorney visits | Virtual Attorney Visitation link appears on county facility page | Use the facility process for current details. |
| ICE detainee information | ICE ODLS plus facility phone line | ICE source result says call 570-775-5500 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. |
| Public office hours | Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. | General public hours, not a family visit schedule. |
Note: Classification, medical status, disciplinary status, court movement, ICE or federal custody, or intake processing can affect visit access even when the person is housed at Pike County Correctional Facility.
Pike County Facility Mail and Money
Pike County lists Access Corrections for inmate and detainee trust and commissary deposits. It also states that inmate personal mail is going digital. Those two facts matter for families because sending money and sending mail follow different rules. Confirm custody first, then confirm the current mail or account rule before sending funds, letters, or documents.
| Service | Provider or Detail | What to Confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Trust and commissary deposits | Access Corrections | Use for inmate or detainee account deposits, not court bail unless separately confirmed. |
| Phone deposits | 1-866-345-1884 | County-listed Access Corrections phone route. |
| Lobby kiosk | Cash or credit-card deposits | Located in the facility lobby for inmate or detainee account deposits. |
| Personal mail | County notice says personal mail is going digital | Ask the facility for the current mailing format and digital-mail procedure. |
| Attorney communication | Virtual Attorney Visitation link | Attorney access differs from public family visitation. |
Pike County Facility Booking
Booking at Pike County Correctional Facility should be described as custody intake, not as a public online report. The jail may receive a person after a local arrest, warrant arrest, court commitment, transfer, federal hold, or ICE placement. Intake can include identity confirmation, commitment paperwork, property inventory, search and security screening, fingerprints or photos when required, medical review, classification, and checks for outside detainers.
Preliminary arraignment and bail are court functions, even when they happen close in time to jail intake. A court can set release conditions, schedule hearings, and create docket entries. The facility handles custody, housing, release processing, and account rules. If a Pike County defendant is sentenced to state prison, later lookup shifts from the facility to Pennsylvania DOC. If a person is held for immigration proceedings, ICE ODLS and facility phone confirmation are the more relevant route.
Pike County Facility Custody Types
County jail, ICE detention, federal custody, and state prison are often confused because they can appear in the same family search. Pike County Correctional Facility is a county correctional facility, not a Pennsylvania DOC state prison and not a BOP-owned prison. Still, the facility can house federal inmates and ICE civil commitments by contract. Searchers should use the system tied to the legal authority holding the person.
| Custody Type | Correct Search Path | Facility Note |
|---|---|---|
| Local Pike County custody | Facility phone or in-person inquiry, plus UJS for charges | No online public roster was located. |
| State-sentenced custody | Pennsylvania DOC locator | DOC excludes county-facility inmates. |
| Federal sentenced custody | BOP inmate locator | BOP covers federal inmates from 1982 to present. |
| Federal hold or pretrial status | Facility phone, court records, and federal authority confirmation | May not appear as designated BOP custody. |
| ICE civil detention | ICE ODLS or facility phone route | Pike is listed by ICE as a detention facility. |
Pike County Facility Programs
Pike County publishes several local program names that should not be flattened into generic jail wording. The correctional facility provides educational, religious, and rehabilitative programming to help with reintegration. Female offenders may participate in H.O.P.E., Helping Offenders Promote Excellence. Qualified male Pike County offenders may participate in A.R.R.O.W., Actively Reducing Recidivism Opens Windows, an intensive rehabilitative program.
After successful completion, eligible offenders may move to C.O.R.E., Correctional Offenders Reintegrating Effectively, where rehabilitative work continues through new skills and community service. M.O.R.E., Motivating Offenders to Reintegrate Effectively, is available to male offenders interested in positive change. Program access depends on eligibility, classification, custody status, behavior, and current facility rules.
Pike County Facility PREA
Pike County states a zero-tolerance policy for institutional sexual harassment, assault, or abuse under PREA standards. The county page says allegations are investigated or referred to an appropriate investigative authority. PREA Coordinator Lt. Todd Schweyer is listed, and employees or inmate families may report incidents by email or mail. Assistant Warden Jonathan J. Romance is also listed as a family and employee reporting email path in the research.
PREA reporting is separate from an inmate lookup. Use it for safety or abuse concerns, not for routine custody confirmation. The facility's mailing address is the same Lords Valley address listed for the jail. For urgent safety concerns, call the facility and use the published PREA reporting contacts.
Note: Confirm custody, visit access, and current mail rules with Pike County Correctional Facility before traveling or sending funds.
