Locate Wyoming County Correctional Facility Inmates

Wyoming County Facility Overview

Wyoming County Correctional Facility is the local county jail in Tunkhannock. The official county directory also labels it Wyoming County Prison. The facility is operated through Wyoming County correctional administration and is overseen locally by the Wyoming County Prison Board. The board includes county officials and court-system members, including the sheriff, commissioners, president judge, district attorney, county solicitor, and public defender.

The jail's stated role is court-ordered detention. It holds pre-trial detainees, post-trial detainees, sentenced county offenders, and people held under court orders. Official materials also show that some people may be housed for other counties under regional arrangements. State-sentenced people from Wyoming County move into the Pennsylvania DOC system after sentencing and classification, so they are not searched through the local jail once transferred.

The official prison administration page identifies the jail leadership and Prison Board roster.

That page is the local source for oversight context, not an inmate roster.

Wyoming County Facility Population

The Pennsylvania DOC 2024 county statistics workbook reports 78 beds at Wyoming County Correctional Facility. The bed count includes 64 hard-cell beds and 14 dorm or day-room beds. The same source reports no separate work-release or community-corrections facility. The 2024 average in-house daily population was 43, and the county reported an average of 8 people housed elsewhere. Admissions were 215 and discharges were 220 for the year.

The in-house count was below rated capacity in 2024. The average of 8 housed elsewhere still matters for searches because a person may be tied to a Wyoming County case while physically held in another facility.

Lookup Wyoming County Facility Inmates

No official searchable roster was found for Wyoming County Correctional Facility. The most direct lookup method is to call the jail at 570-836-1717 or 570-836-7767. If the person has a new criminal case, use the Pennsylvania Unified Judicial System docket search for charges and bail entries. If the person has been sentenced to state custody, use the Pennsylvania DOC locator. Federal sentenced people use the BOP locator, and immigration detention uses ICE ODLS.

1. Call Wyoming County Correctional Facility with the person's full legal name and approximate arrest or court date.
2. Search Pennsylvania VINE for custody status or notification registration.
3. Use UJS Case Search for court charges, bail, hearing dates, and disposition.
4. Check the PA DOC locator after a state sentence or parole transfer.
5. File a Wyoming County Right-to-Know request for booking records that are not available through public pages.

Wyoming County Facility Contact

The official directory lists the jail at 10 Stark St., Tunkhannock, PA 18657. It gives two phone numbers for Wyoming County Prison: 570-836-1717 and 570-836-7767. Call before travel because visitor entry, housing block, custody status, and approved list rules can change with court transport, release, lockdown, or facility operations.

Wyoming County Housing Blocks

The inmate handbook says each person committed to Wyoming County Correctional Facility is classified for staff and inmate safety. Classification determines housing block and may be changed as needs or behavior change. The listed classification levels are Maximum/Close, Medium, Minimum, and Work Release. Factors include offense type, bail amount, prior criminal record, detainers, sentence, violent behavior risk, escape risk, mental or emotional condition, physical condition, and program needs.

Booking

Jail intake after arrest or court commitment.

Classification

The jail's process for assigning housing and security level.

Detainer

A hold from another court, agency, or jurisdiction.

Work Release

A classification for approved sentenced inmates under facility and court rules.

Wyoming County Visitation Schedule

Visitation is in person and organized by block in the official schedule. Visitors must be on the inmate's approved list and must present valid picture ID. The handbook states that each inmate submits a visitor authorization form listing ten people for requested visitation privileges. Visitors generally must be 18 or older, with limited exceptions. The warden or designee may deny visits for security, supervision, witness, criminal-history, prior rule violation, or intoxication concerns.

Wyoming County Mail Money

Mail to an inmate should include the inmate name, block and cell number, WCCF, 10 Stark Street, Tunkhannock, PA 18657. Incoming non-legal mail is opened and inspected for contraband. Attorney, court, DOC, and public-official mail is opened and inspected for contraband in the inmate's presence. The handbook says mail is delivered Monday through Friday except holidays.

Cashier checks and money orders may be mailed to WCCF with the inmate's name. Money orders cannot be dropped off. The official FAQ says no more than $50 per inmate is accepted by money order. Account updates run Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., excluding holidays. Commissary is ordered through tablets on Monday nights and delivered on Thursdays as the schedule permits, with a $50 weekly purchase limit.

The official FAQ page shows the money-order and commissary rules.

Those limits are local to Wyoming County Correctional Facility and should not be confused with state DOC money rules.

Wyoming County Phone Tablets

SecurusTech is the facility phone provider. The county phone page lists support contacts and explains that inmate phone lists may include up to ten numbers. New commitments receive an inmate telephone number request form, and processing may take up to 72 hours, excluding weekends and holidays. Incoming calls are not allowed, and staff generally do not relay messages except emergencies or the first new-commitment call noted in the handbook.

The handbook says tablets are available from 7:10 a.m. until 10:25 p.m. and may include free applications or monthly subscriptions. The research file notes a conflict between the web page and handbook on the morning start time for general phone hours, so exact daily calling windows should be verified with staff before relying on them.

Wyoming County Booking Intake

People enter the facility after arrest, commitment, or another court order. The jail verifies admission authority and paperwork, searches the person and property, and conducts intake screening. The programs page says all inmates processed through intake receive medical and mental-health screening. Based on clinical information, the inmate is sent to general population or special medical housing. Medical care is provided regardless of account balance.

An inmate eligible for bail may request to call a licensed Wyoming County bail bondsman and must submit a written request identifying the bondsman and phone number. The handbook also allows one connected call at commitment to a family member, friend, or other person for bail help. Further bail-call requests require a written request to administration.

Wyoming County Jail Programs

Wyoming County Correctional Facility offers more local program detail than many small jails. County pages list on-site ambulatory and infirmary health services, medical and mental-health screening, behavioral support, GED classes, literacy support, religious practice, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, AA, trustee work, voting by eligible inmates, commissary, tablets, SecurusTech phones, and mail. The 2024 DOC county statistics workbook marks drug and alcohol, education, social services, counseling, and reentry programs as available.

The programs and services page describes medical, behavioral-support, GED, religious, and care-package details.

Program access can depend on classification, sentence status, availability, court requirements, and written requests to facility leadership.
