Wyoming County Inmate Population Overview

The Wyoming County inmate population is reported through the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections county statistics program and local facility records. The local jail is the Wyoming County Correctional Facility, also listed by the county directory as Wyoming County Prison. It holds pre-trial detainees, post-trial detainees, sentenced county offenders, court-ordered holds, and some prisoners from outside Wyoming County under housing arrangements. People sentenced to Pennsylvania state prison are not counted as county jail inmates after transfer. They move into the Pennsylvania DOC system and must be searched through the state locator.

Population counts rise and fall for several reasons. Arrests by Pennsylvania State Police and local police agencies feed new cases into magisterial district courts. Bail decisions decide whether some defendants remain in jail or are released while the case is pending. Sentencing, transfers, detainers, and housing agreements also change the daily count. Wyoming County has an added regional wrinkle because Susquehanna County's correctional facility closed, and official Susquehanna County materials direct families to the facility where the person is housed, including Wyoming County or Wayne County.

Wyoming County Inmate Statistics

The clearest official population source is the Pennsylvania DOC county inspections and statistics page. Its 2024 county statistics workbook reports 78 beds at Wyoming County Correctional Facility, made up of 64 hard-cell beds and 14 dorm or day-room beds. The same 2024 data reports an average in-house daily population of 43, plus an average of 8 people housed elsewhere. Admissions totaled 215 and discharges totaled 220.

The local rate is a calculated reference point, not a published county rate. It uses the 2024 in-house daily average of 43 and the Census estimate of 25,771 residents as of July 1, 2024. It does not include federal inmates, state prisoners after DOC transfer, or the average of 8 people housed elsewhere unless stated separately.

Wyoming County Jail Trends

Five years of Pennsylvania DOC workbooks show a small jail with a stable rated capacity and a moving daily count. The in-house daily average was highest in this set during 2022, then dropped in 2023 and 2024. The 2024 average was the lowest in the five-year group. That matters for families because a lower in-house count does not mean every Wyoming County case is physically in Tunkhannock. The county also reported people housed elsewhere.

Wyoming County Custody Makeup

The January 31, 2025 demographic snapshot in the DOC county statistics file counted 45 people in the Wyoming County jail population, with 40 males and 5 females. The race and ethnicity snapshot listed 37 white males and 5 white females, 1 Black male, 2 Hispanic males, and no people reported in the other categories. The age data showed no one under 20 in the jail snapshot and the largest groups clustered from ages 30 through 54.

• Sex: 40 males and 5 females in the January 31, 2025 snapshot.
• Age: No under-18 or 18-19 population was reported in that snapshot.
• Pre-sentenced counts: Four 2024 quarterly snapshots reported 34, 38, 25, and 30 pre-sentenced people.
• Programs: The 2024 workbook marked drug and alcohol, education, social services, counseling, and reentry programs as available.

Wyoming County Jail Capacity

The official 2024 capacity figure is 78 beds. With 43 people in the average in-house daily population, the jail used about 55 percent of its reported bed capacity in 2024. If the average of 8 people housed elsewhere is added to show total custody responsibility, the combined average is about 51 people, or about 65 percent of the 78-bed figure. Those are calculations from the source data, so they should be read as context rather than separate official ratings.

Local news in 2025 discussed Wyoming County accepting some neighboring prisoners after Susquehanna County Correctional Facility closed. That reporting described operational capacity and staffing concerns, including female housing issues. The official capacity record for this build remains the Pennsylvania DOC workbook because it is the statewide county-jail statistics source.

Wyoming County Jail Laws

Jail population information sits inside several Pennsylvania records and corrections rules. The Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law governs requests to local agencies such as Wyoming County and presumes access unless an exemption applies. 37 Pa. Code Chapter 95 sets standards for county correctional institutions. 37 Pa. Code section 95.222 requires written policy for admissions and releases, including proper legal authority and paperwork.

Search Wyoming County Inmates

No official Wyoming County online jail roster, current-inmate search, daily booking report, recent-bookings feed, or public mugshot gallery was located on the official county site. That changes the search process. The most direct local channel is the jail phone line. The county directory lists Wyoming County Correctional Facility at 570-836-1717 and 570-836-7767. Staff may be able to confirm custody and give approved mail or visit instructions, subject to facility policy and law.

When the local call does not resolve the question, use the right public system for the record type. Pennsylvania VINE is useful for custody status and notification. Pennsylvania UJS Case Search and PAeDocket show court charges and docket events. The Pennsylvania DOC locator covers state-sentenced inmates and parolees, not county jail inmates. The BOP locator and ICE detainee locator cover separate federal systems.

1. Call Wyoming County Correctional Facility when current local custody is the main question.
2. Check VINE for custody-status notification if the person may be listed in Pennsylvania custody feeds.
3. Search UJS or PAeDocket for charges, bail entries, hearings, and disposition.
4. Use the PA DOC locator after a state sentence or parole transfer.
5. Use BOP, USMS contacts, or ICE ODLS for federal or immigration custody questions.

For more detail on the fallback chain, the Wyoming County jail inmate records page breaks down each lookup channel.

Wyoming County Record Sources

Because Wyoming County does not publish an inspected online roster profile, no official county profile fields can be promised. A phone confirmation may answer only whether someone is held and what the facility can lawfully disclose. A docket record is different. It may show a case number, offense tracking number, charges, bail entries, court events, docket status, disposition, and sentence, but it is not proof of present housing.

Wyoming County Jail vs DOC

A county jail and a state prison answer different questions. Wyoming County Correctional Facility is the local jail for court-ordered detention, pre-trial custody, post-trial detention, short county sentences, and holds. Pennsylvania DOC facilities hold people after state sentencing and classification. No state prison was located in Wyoming County, so a person with a Wyoming County case may leave the county jail after sentencing and appear only in the statewide DOC locator.

Wyoming County Detention Facility

The facility map has one local detention facility. Wyoming County Correctional Facility is in Tunkhannock and is operated through county correctional administration with oversight by the Wyoming County Prison Board. The facility page gives the full address, phones, visitation schedule by block, money-order rules, Securus phone details, and jail programs.

• Wyoming County Correctional Facility holds pre-trial detainees, post-trial detainees, sentenced county offenders, court-ordered holds, and some people housed for other counties.

The official facility overview describes the jail mission, programs, inmate information links, and address.

The county page is useful for confirming that Wyoming County uses the Correctional Facility name and posts inmate-information resources, even though it does not publish a searchable roster.

Wyoming County Jail Visits

Visitation is organized by housing block. Alpha visits Monday mornings and Thursday evenings. Bravo visits Tuesday afternoons and Friday evenings. Charlie visits Tuesday evenings and Friday afternoons. Delta visits Monday evenings and Thursday mornings. Echo visits Saturday mornings and Sunday evenings. Disciplinary segregated males and females have separate Wednesday windows. Visitors need a valid photo ID and must be on the approved visitor list.

The official visitation page shows the housing-block schedule and visitor requirements.

The schedule should be confirmed before travel because visits can be changed or stopped for emergencies, lockdowns, court transport, or security needs.

Wyoming County Jail Programs

Programs also shape the Wyoming County inmate population because they affect classification, daily movement, release planning, and the support available while a person is held. The county facility overview says the jail provides opportunity programs for treatment and interaction, including religious training and worship, education, recreation, work programs, and health services. The programs page adds medical and mental-health screening at intake, on-site ambulatory and infirmary health services, behavioral support, GED, literacy support, religious practice, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, AA, trustee work, and care-package information.

The 2024 county statistics workbook marked drug and alcohol, education, social services, counseling, and reentry programs as available in Wyoming County. It also reported 16 males on psychotropic medication and 17 males on the mental-health caseload in the January 31, 2025 snapshot, with no 302, 304, or other mental-health hospitalization commitments reported for 2024. The workbook says three days of medication are supplied upon release. Those details are narrow, but they are useful because they show the jail population is not only a head count. It is also a mix of medical needs, court status, sentence status, program eligibility, and release planning.

Wyoming County Regional Custody

Wyoming County's inmate search picture is regional. Susquehanna County's official inmate-control page states that its correctional facility is closed and directs friends and family to the facility where the person is housed, including Wyoming County or Wayne County. Local 2025 news reports described Wyoming County accepting some neighboring prisoners after that closure while staying below maximum capacity. For a family member, that means the case county and the housing county may not match.

This is one reason the phone and records-request channels matter. A person connected to a nearby county may be physically housed at Wyoming County Correctional Facility. A Wyoming County case may also involve a person housed elsewhere, since the 2024 county statistics reported an average of 8 people housed outside the jail. Search results should therefore be read with care. If one system does not show the person, check the facility, VINE, UJS, DOC, BOP, ICE, or the relevant records office before assuming there is no custody record.
