This is a private reference site, not the Lake County Sheriff's Office, the Adult Detention Facility, a court, or a bonding desk. It cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, post bond, schedule visits, or pull an official booking record. Use the official contacts below for custody, jail records, warrants, release, or public-records requests.
Official Lake County Jail and Records Contacts
For a current Lake County custody question, start with the jail roster resources and then use the official jail or records numbers when the PDF roster, release report, or court portal does not answer the question.
- Lake County Sheriff's Office: Sheriff Frank Leonbruno, 104 East Erie Street, Painesville, OH 44077; general office 440-350-5620; fax 440-350-5590.
- Lake County Adult Detention Facility / Corrections: 104 East Erie Street, Painesville, OH 44077; jail information 440-350-5601.
- Jail Records Division: 440-350-5509 or 440-350-5956 for booking, release, prison-trip, and court-appearance records handled through the Sheriff's records process.
- Bond and release questions: jail materials identify 440-350-5602 as the line used for bond, release, and jail-supervisor phone questions.
- Administrative Support / Civil Division: 440-350-5530, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. This division includes public-records processing duties.
- Warrant Division: 440-350-5620, listed by the Sheriff's Office as a 24-hour contact.
Use these paths based on the type of record or custody issue:
- For someone held in the county jail, use jail inmate records and the daily Lake County picture roster PDF before calling the jail.
- For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots and remember that Ohio law restricts charging people to remove or alter criminal-record information.
- For charges filed after booking, use court records after a jail arrest, the Lake County Clerk, Common Pleas Court, or the relevant municipal court.
- For facility details, check the Lake County Adult Detention Facility or Mentor City Jail page.
- For a sentenced Ohio prisoner, use the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction Offender Search rather than the county jail roster.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or ICE's detainee locator. Those systems are separate from Lake County's jail roster.
