Cleveland Jail — General Information

How to Find Someone in Cleveland Jail

The Cleveland Jail does not come with an online search mechanism for inmates held at the facility. This is mainly due to the facility's purpose, which is to hold inmates over a short period of time. This means that if you want to know if someone is held up at the facility, you will have to call them directly.

Sending a Mail/Care Package

Nationwide Inmate Records Online Check

Jail records, court & arrest records, mugshots and even judicial reports.

The Cleveland Jail does not allow for mail and packages as most f the inmates who pass through these walls don't get to stay long enough to warrant letter or deliveries.

The facility got rid f these liberties as they were barely needed.

Sending Money

It is no surprise that the facility will also not allow for inmates to get one while at the facility. The same reasons that prevent mails also apply on money, meaning you can't send any money to an inmate while they are held at Cleveland Jail.

The best bet is to wait for them to get processed through the justice system, and find them at their next destination, most likely county jail.

Phone calls

The Cleveland Jail will offer inmates a one-time phone call. This is provided during the processing of the inmate into the facility.

The inmate is offered a fee call to get the word out on where you are being held.

The call, however, being free for you does not necessarily mean it will be free for everyone involved, as the call will attract charges at the collect call.

Visitation

The only visits allowed by the Cleveland Jail are privileged visits with inmate's attorneys. To get to see them, they will have to be inside the facility for the inmate to get access.

The visitation hours are Monday through Friday 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM.
