Hocking County Jail Roster Source
Hocking County does not run a standalone jail roster from a jail in Logan. The Hocking County Sheriff's Office says county inmates are housed at Southeastern Ohio Regional Jail, usually called SEORJ. That regional jail serves Athens, Hocking, Morgan, Perry, and Vinton Counties, so the Hocking County inmate records page a reader needs is a shared roster rather than a Hocking-only list.
The official path runs from the sheriff's site to SEORJ inmate information and then to the vendor-hosted current inmate roster. The roster is public and free. It is list based in the captured research, not a form with a last-name box, so browser Find is often the fastest way to check a name. Because the roster combines five counties, the arresting agency, court field, book date, and charges matter as much as the person's name.
The sheriff's contact page also gives SEORJ as the jail information line. If a booking is too new to appear, if the name spelling is uncertain, or if a person may have been released, call the jail before assuming the record does not exist.
The SEORJ current roster screenshot shows the regional list layout with male and female sections, charge rows, bail data, court fields, and arresting agencies.
That layout explains why a Hocking County jail roster search should compare agency and court details instead of stopping at the first matching name.
Use the Hocking County Inmate Roster
The best current-custody search starts with the active regional roster, then moves outward only if the person is not listed. A missing entry can mean the person has not finished booking, was released, was held under another county's agency, moved to state prison, or entered federal or immigration custody.
- Confirm the local jail route on the Hocking County Sheriff's Office page, which sends prisoner questions to SEORJ.
- Open the SEORJ inmate information page and use the Regional Jail Inmates link to reach the JDS roster.
- Use browser Find for the last name because the captured roster works as a current list, not a search form.
- Compare Jail ID, book date, charge labels, court, current disposition, total bail, and arresting agency.
- For Hocking County cases, look for Hocking County Sheriff, Logan Police Department, Hocking court references, or other local indicators.
- If the person is missing, call SEORJ at (740) 753-4060 and then check ODRC, BOP, ICE, or court records as needed.
Hocking County Roster Fields
The SEORJ roster field set is useful because it shows both custody clues and court clues. It does not show every detail that families often expect, such as a cell assignment, height, weight, release date, or full date of birth. The captured page also did not show public search, export, clear, or pagination buttons.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Males / Females | Roster section | No | Entries are grouped by sex/category headings. |
| Jail ID | Displayed field | No | Local numeric roster identifier. |
| Photo | Displayed field | No | Photo column is present; verify image display in the live browser. |
| Name | Displayed field | No | Often shown in last-name-first order. |
| Charges | Displayed field | No | Charge labels can include multiple lines and occasional ORC references. |
| Current Disposition | Displayed field | No | Examples include Recog, Sent, Dismissed, and Time Served. |
| Total Bail | Displayed field | No | May show a dollar amount, recognizance context, or zero-dollar entries. |
| Arresting Agency | Displayed field | No | Critical for separating Hocking entries from other county entries. |
Hocking County Inmate Profile Details
A current SEORJ record is a custody snapshot, not the final criminal case file. It can help locate a person, identify a booking date, estimate which court is involved, and see whether bail or a disposition label appears. The formal charge record should still be checked through Municipal Court or Common Pleas after the prosecutor and court act.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Jail ID | The jail's local identifier for the roster entry. |
| Photo | A public roster photo column tied to the active entry when available. |
| Name | The inmate name as posted by the regional jail. |
| Charges | Booking or arrest charge labels, sometimes with Ohio Revised Code snippets. |
| Court | A court field that may be blank in the captured text. |
| Current Disposition | Roster status shorthand, not always final court disposition. |
| Total Bail | Bail value or zero-dollar/recognizance context that must be verified. |
| SID# | State identification field when posted. |
| Book Date | Date booked into SEORJ. |
| Attorney / Next Court Date | Posted when available, but often blank in the captured text. |
| Arresting Agency | The agency that made or lodged the arrest. |
County, State, Federal Custody
The Hocking County jail roster covers local and regional jail custody. It does not replace the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction Offender Search for people sentenced to Ohio prison or placed under Adult Parole Authority supervision. It also does not replace federal or immigration locators.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | Use When |
|---|---|---|
| Local pretrial or short jail term | SEORJ current roster | Recent Hocking County arrest, local hold, misdemeanor sentence, or court commitment. |
| Ohio prison or supervision | ODRC Offender Search | Sentenced felony prison case, release, APA supervision, judicial release, or violator at large. |
| Federal prison | BOP Inmate Locator | Sentenced federal prisoner from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator | Adult immigration detention searched by A-Number or biographical data. |
| Custody notifications | Ohio VINELink | Custody-status and notification registration. |
Hocking County Jail Facilities
Hocking County inmate records have one active jail roster source and one important facility-planning caveat. SEORJ is the active regional jail for Hocking County custody. The former Hocking Correctional Unit is tied to a county correctional facility repurposing project, but no official active roster or operating page was located for that project.

Hocking County Booking Process
A Hocking County arrest may be made by the sheriff, Logan Police Department, or another local agency. The person is then transported to SEORJ or held under a court commitment. The sheriff's office notes that Hocking County is part of SEORJ and assigns transport deputies to move inmates between the Nelsonville jail and Hocking County court appearances in Logan.
Ohio full-service jail rules require secure booking and release areas, reception standards, health screening arrangements, and housing-capacity documentation. SEORJ's public roster is the outside view of that intake process. It shows fields such as jail ID, book date, charges, attorney, next court date, and arresting agency, but it does not show all internal classification or housing information.
Booking flow: Arrest or commitment → transport to SEORJ → reception and booking → roster entry → first appearance or court transport → release, sentence, transfer, or continued custody.
Hocking County Visitation Records
SEORJ publishes limited visitation detail in accessible text. The jail says on-site visits through lobby kiosks are held on weekends and points visitors to the CPC/Inmate Sales link for details. No official dress-code list, visit-duration table, remote-video fee schedule, or social-visit approval process was located in the research.
| Visit Type | Schedule / Access | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| On-site lobby kiosk | Weekends | Held through lobby kiosks; check CPC details before arriving. |
| Remote or video details | Not fully published in accessible text | Use CPC/Inmate Sales and confirm fees, length, and requirements. |
| Attorney visits | Call SEORJ | Keep legal visits separate from social visitation. |
Contact Hocking County Inmates
Mail for SEORJ inmates does not go to the Riverside Drive street address. The jail lists a mail-processing address in Highland Heights, Kentucky. Use the inmate's name and ID number so mail is routed to the right person. For phone accounts, SEORJ points to CPC/Inmate Sales.
| Service | Provider / Address | Phone or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Inmate mail | Inmate's name and ID#, Southeastern Ohio Regional Jail, PO Box 76550, Highland Heights, KY 41076 | Use the jail ID from the roster. |
| Phone account | Inmate Sales / CPC | 1-877-998-5678 |
| Commissary gifts | iCare | 1-888-439-5020 |
| Deposits | TouchPay | Site ID 245764; phone 1-866-232-1899 |
Request Hocking County Records
For a released inmate, an older booking, a report, video, crash report, or a booking photo not visible online, use the Hocking County Sheriff's public-records request process.

The policy is the right fallback when the current roster does not answer a records question.
Hocking County Search Problems
Several local facts make Hocking County inmate record searches easy to misread. The roster is regional. The court is often in Logan while the jail is in Nelsonville. The former Hocking prison may appear in search results even though current local jail custody still runs through SEORJ. The sheriff app exists, but the official descriptions found in the research describe tips, crime reporting, interactive features, public-safety news, and alerts rather than an inmate search tool.
- Detainer
- A request or hold from another agency that can keep a person in custody.
- Recognizance
- Release based on a promise to appear, often shown as Recog.
- APA holder
- An Adult Parole Authority hold that may block release even if a local bond appears.
- Booking charge
- The arrest or intake charge on the roster, which may differ from formal court charges.
Note: Verify custody with SEORJ before sending money, scheduling a visit, or relying on a bail amount from the roster.
