Carroll County Jail Overview
The official Carroll County Jail information page identifies the jail as a full-service county facility operated through the Carroll County Sheriff's Office. It is tied to the sheriff's office at 43 Second Street S.E. in Carrollton and serves Juvenile Court, Carroll County Municipal Court, and Carroll County Court of Common Pleas. Sheriff Calvin Graham, also listed as Calvin A.B. Graham in the Ohio Attorney General directory, heads the sheriff's office. The jail direct line is 330-627-2170, while the main sheriff line is 330-627-2141.
The jail operates every day and around the clock. Its role is local custody, not Ohio prison custody. That means a new arrest, short local jail term, court transport hold, or court-order work release status should be checked through the jail and court channels first. A sentenced felony prisoner who has transferred into the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction belongs in the statewide ODRC search instead. Federal and immigration custody also use separate systems.
The Carroll County Sheriff's jail page is directly relevant to the facility and its inmate rules.
The page is useful because it gives local jail capacity, visitation, mail, phone, commissary, and program details rather than a generic statewide summary.
Carroll County Jail Population
Carroll County Jail is a small county jail by Ohio standards. The sheriff's materials list 5 female beds and 30 male beds, plus 4 holding cells, 1 receiving cell, and 1 padded cell. ODRC annual inspection snippets from 2021, 2023, 2024, and 2025 all report 35 as the total actual general housing capacity. The available inspection-day counts were 14 inmates in 2021, 13 in 2023, 14 in 2024, and 11 in 2025. Those are inspection snapshots, not annual average daily population numbers.

Carroll County Jail Lookup
No official online Carroll County, Ohio jail roster, current-inmate list, recent-booking gallery, or release list was located in the sheriff or county sources reviewed. That is the key point for a Carroll County Jail inmate search. Do not rely on rosters for other Carroll Counties or on unofficial scraper pages when the goal is current Ohio custody. The official path starts with the jail phone line, then moves to sheriff records, court dockets, ODRC, Ohio VINE, BOP, or ICE depending on where the person may be held.
- Call Carroll County Jail at 330-627-2170 for current custody, release, visit eligibility, and immediate jail-status questions.
- Call the sheriff's main line at 330-627-2141 if routing through Corrections, records, or another sheriff division is needed.
- Use the sheriff's electronic public-records request for booking-related public records, photographs, incident reports, accident reports, and 911 recording requests.
- Search Carroll County Municipal Court and Common Pleas dockets when the question is the formal charge, bond entry, warrant, or court date after booking.
- Use the ODRC Offender Search after a prison sentence or supervision transfer, and use Ohio VINE for notification support.
For court-status checks, use the Carroll County Municipal Court record search and the Carroll County Common Pleas public records docket rather than a third-party jail page. Federal custody uses the BOP inmate locator after commitment to federal custody, while immigration detention uses the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. These are not substitutes for the county jail line when the person was just arrested in Carroll County.
Carroll County Jail Contact
The direct jail number is the first contact for current custody. The sheriff's contact page also gives the main sheriff phone, fax, and address for the office. Records questions that require documents should go through the public-records process during file-room hours, while emergency issues belong with 911.

Carroll County Jail Mail
Mail must be addressed to the inmate at Carroll County Jail and sent through the U.S. Postal Service. The jail screens incoming mail for contraband. Letters are not accepted at the front window during visitation, so family and friends should not bring letters to a visit and expect staff to deliver them. Inmates can buy writing materials and stamped envelopes through commissary. Indigent inmates may receive writing materials and two stamped envelopes on Fridays only.

Carroll County Jail Booking
Booking is the administrative intake process after an arrest or court commitment. Carroll County rules state that personal clothing and property are placed into a locker, jail uniform and shoes are issued, and valuables are documented on a booking sheet. Cash, traveler's checks, money orders, valuable jewelry, watches, earrings, and body-piercing items are not permitted to stay with the inmate. A medical alert bracelet or necklace may be kept. The jail is tobacco free.
Newly booked inmates receive a free phone call to notify family or friends of their situation and available resources. Non-emergency medical request forms are available from correctional staff, and nursing staff answer those requests within three days, excluding weekends and holidays. Emergency medical needs are handled in a timely manner. Formal charges and bond entries should be checked with the court record, because booking allegations can change when the prosecutor or court acts. More detail on charges after booking is handled on the court records after jail arrest page.
Carroll County Jail Programs
Programs documented for Carroll County Jail include Sunday church services, recreation five days per week, commissary access, medical and dental request processes, indigent writing materials, and court-order work release. Work release is narrow. Only the judge with jurisdiction over the case can approve it, and the inmate must meet jail guidelines before leaving the facility for employment. The inmate must also pay the $5.00 per-day administrative fee and launder their own clothing.
The 2025 ODRC inspection snippet reported a standards issue involving the lack of an established jail security perimeter. That is a jail-standards compliance point, not an overcrowding finding. The available inspection-day population figures were below the 35-bed general housing capacity. Current conditions, visit rules, and program access should be confirmed with the jail because housing status, discipline, medical status, court orders, and security needs can change quickly.
