Lycoming County Jail Roster Route
The official Lycoming County Prison page does not expose a county-owned roster table in the static sources reviewed. Instead, its related links use the label Inmate Search and send users to Pennsylvania VINE. That finding controls the wording for Lycoming County inmate records: VINE is the public custody search and notification route, while the prison phone line, UJS court records, and Right-to-Know requests cover information that VINE does not show.
The county-linked VINE route should not be described as a full booking file. A booking record may involve an inmate number, custody status, a facility, charges or court identifiers, and release information, but the county source did not confirm that all of those fields appear online. The prison mail rules do expect an inmate number from Inmate Search, which makes the number important when sending mail, asking jail staff a custody question, or narrowing a records request.
The county prison page is the source that points the public to VINE for inmate search.
Use VINE for current custody status and notifications, then use county and court channels for booking details that are not displayed.
Search Lycoming County Inmate Records
A practical search should move from the most current custody source to the most formal record source. Start with VINE because the county prison page links there. If VINE does not return the person, that does not prove the person was never booked. A new arrest may not have appeared, the name may be entered differently, the person may have been released, or the person may be in state, federal, immigration, or another county's custody.
- Open the county prison page and follow the Inmate Search link to Pennsylvania VINE.
- Search by the person's full legal name and any identifier available from court paperwork or prior records.
- Save the inmate number or offender identifier if VINE provides one, especially before sending mail.
- If no match appears, call Lycoming County Prison at (570) 326-4623 with the name, date of birth if known, arrest date, and arresting agency.
- Search Pennsylvania UJS Case Search for the court case by name, OTN, complaint number, incident number, or docket number.
- Use the Lycoming County online Right-to-Know application for historical or non-online jail records.
Lycoming County Roster Search Fields
The VINE search fields were only partially visible in the static capture, so the field table below avoids pretending that Lycoming County has a county-hosted roster form with confirmed last-name, booking-number, charge, bond, and housing filters. For sentenced state custody, the PA DOC locator has clearer published requirements. These two tables show why county inmates and state prisoners should not be searched in the same system.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| State | Selection or route | Required by context | The county route points to Pennsylvania VINE. |
| Person search fields | Text/date fields, dynamic | Unspecified | Use the name and identifiers shown in the VINE interface. |
| Notification registration | Account workflow | Optional after a match | VINE supports custody status and criminal-case notifications. |
| Search or submit | Button | Yes | The static capture did not expose the exact label. |
| PA DOC Field | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last name | Text | Yes if no inmate number | Use last name when the DOC number is unknown. |
| Inmate number | Text | Yes if no last name | Best exact search key for state custody. |
| First name | Text | Optional | Helps with common names. |
| Personal information | Varies | Optional | DOC warns some personal data may be self-reported. |
Lycoming County Inmate Profile Limits
The county research did not confirm a public Lycoming County roster profile showing mugshots, bond, housing unit, charge text, or full booking history. The safest record inventory is narrower. VINE may return custody status and notification information. The prison mail policy expects an inmate number. Court charges and docket status belong in UJS. Booking photographs and historical booking records may require a focused request to the county or the arresting agency.
| Field | What the Research Supports |
|---|---|
| Inmate number | Referenced by the county mail policy as available through Inmate Search. |
| Custody status | Part of the VINE custody status and notification function. |
| Facility | Likely shown when VINE identifies a person, but not confirmed in static capture. |
| Charges | Better verified through UJS court records and charging documents. |
| Bond or bail | May appear in court dockets; confirm with the court or prison before relying on release. |
| Mugshot | Not confirmed on the county-linked public search in the static capture. |
Find County State Federal Inmates
Lycoming County inmate records are easiest to read when custody type comes first. A pretrial person booked after a local arrest is a county jail search. A person sentenced to state prison or state parole is a PA DOC search. A person in federal custody may be in BOP records after conviction, while a federal pretrial detainee may route through the U.S. Marshals Middle District of Pennsylvania. Immigration detention uses ICE ODLS and may involve facilities outside Lycoming County.
| Custody Type | Where to Search | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| County jail | VINE, prison phone, Right-to-Know request | Current local custody, local booking, and non-online jail records |
| State prison or parole | PA DOC locator service | State-sentenced inmates and parolees, updated daily |
| Federal custody | BOP inmate locator or U.S. Marshals district contact | Federal inmates from 1982 forward or federal pretrial routing |
| Immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | Current ICE detainees or CBP custody over 48 hours |
Lycoming County Jail Facilities
Two county facilities affect local inmate records, and one state prison sits inside the county. The main jail is Lycoming County Prison. The Pre-Release Center handles work release and work crew residents. SCI Muncy is a state prison, so a search for someone there belongs in the DOC locator rather than the county jail route.

Booking Process in Lycoming County
A local jail record usually starts when a police department, state police, sheriff warrant arrest, probation or parole action, or court commitment brings the person to Lycoming County Prison. Intake includes identity confirmation, property inventory, search, paperwork review, medical and safety screening, assignment of an inmate number, and initial classification. The research also notes PREA screening by a prison counselor within 72 hours of commitment and later re-screening if needed.
Court movement then controls how long the person stays in jail. A magisterial district judge or another judicial officer may address bail or release conditions. A detainer, bench warrant, another-county hold, state parole hold, federal hold, or ICE detainer can keep a person in custody even after one case appears resolved. For formal charges after booking, use Lycoming County court records after jail arrest rather than relying only on a custody status record.
Lycoming County Visiting Rules
Visitors to Lycoming County Prison must be on the inmate's visitation list, arrive at the front entrance 15 minutes before the visiting period, submit to search, and present valid photo identification. Visitors under 18 must be with an adult who is also on the visiting list. The county limits visits to no more than two persons and one lap child under three during a period. Former county prisoners must wait one month after release before visiting an inmate, and victims of assault or domestic violence may not visit the alleged or convicted offender.

Contact Lycoming County Inmates
Lycoming County Prison uses TextBehind for handwritten, non-legal mail. The county also references ConnectNetwork/GTL for AdvancePay phone and Trust Fund services, GettingOut for tablet account deposits, and electronic tablets for general population housing. Phone calls, video visits, and secure messages are recorded, monitored, and may be reviewed or divulged except where protected by law. Newly booked inmates cannot receive incoming calls, and staff do not take messages for them.
The ConnectNetwork facility page confirms Lycoming County PA Site ID 76 for AdvancePay Phone and Trust Fund services.
Confirm custody before sending money, because release or transfer can change the correct deposit system.
Request Lycoming County Jail Records
For jail records not available through VINE, file a focused Right-to-Know request with Lycoming County. The county identifies Marirose Neiman as Right-to-Know Officer at 48 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701, phone 570-320-2124, fax 570-320-2127. The fee schedule lists copies at $0.25 per page, certification at $1.00 per record, possible prepayment when estimated fees exceed $100, and cash or check payments to County of Lycoming. The county policy says no redaction fee will be charged.
Note: Ask for a specific booking, custody, release, or jail record by name and date instead of requesting every record about a person.
