Locate Warren County Prison Inmates

Warren County Prison Custody

Warren County Prison serves as the regional county-prison answer for Forest County local custody. The official Forest County materials do not identify a county correctional institution, and the Pennsylvania county probation/parole services material states that Forest County houses inmates at Warren County Prison. Warren County Prison Board records also list an inmate-care agreement with Forest County. For a person arrested in Forest County, that means the first county-jail question is not where the Forest County Jail is located. The right question is whether the person was transported to Warren County Prison, released after court processing, held on another agency's warrant, or moved into state custody.

The facility is operated under the Warren County Prison Board and the county warden. Warren County's official prison page describes the jail as a care, custody, classification, and reintegration facility, with staff training, rehabilitative programming, and volunteer or community interaction as part of the mission. That local mission matters for Forest County readers because Warren County Prison is not just a distant backup. It is the county-level jail to check for pretrial detainees, short county sentences, jail holds, housing-unit visitation, and release questions tied to a Forest County arrest.

The official Warren County Prison overview is the best source for the facility description, while the Warren County directory gives the jail address, phone, and staff listing. The Forest County Sheriff's Office remains the local sheriff and court-security office, but its page does not publish a jail roster, booking desk, or visitation schedule.

The official Warren County Prison page is shown below as the facility source for local jail functions used by Forest County custody searches.

Use that page for facility context, then use the phone, court, and open-records channels below because the official sources inspected did not publish a searchable inmate roster.

Warren County Prison Inmate Lookup

No official Forest County online jail roster was found, and no official Warren County Prison online inmate-search form was located on the Warren County prison pages inspected. A Warren County Prison inmate lookup for Forest County custody therefore works as a fallback chain. Start with the jail phone line, then use Forest County sheriff routing, Forest County open records, Warren County jail records, UJS Case Search, PA DOC, VINE, and federal or immigration locators when the custody stage points away from county jail.

Have the person's full name, date of birth, approximate arrest date, arresting agency, and any docket, complaint, or OTN number ready before calling. Jail staff may be able to confirm basic custody, release, transfer, or visitation eligibility, but they may not disclose every record over the phone. Court records can show charges and bail entries even when the jail does not publish a roster. The Pennsylvania UJS Case Search portal is the public docket source for Forest County court cases after arrest.

1. Call Warren County Prison and ask whether the person is in county custody there for a Forest County matter.
2. If the jail cannot confirm the location, call the Forest County Sheriff's Office for local transport or agency-routing information.
3. Search UJS Case Search by participant name, docket number, complaint number, OTN, or Forest County filter to find court entries.
4. File a targeted open-records request if a written custody, sheriff, transport, or booking record is needed.
5. Use the PA DOC locator only after state sentencing or parole, because county-jail inmates are excluded from that state-prison tool.

For a broader explanation of the missing roster channel, use the Forest County jail inmate records workflow. That records page separates current county custody from later state-prison placement.

Warren County Prison Contact

Warren County Prison is listed in the Warren County Law Enforcement and Public Safety directory. The directory identifies the main jail phone and shows the facility as a round-the-clock operation, while visitation and other public access are controlled by housing-unit rules and staff instructions. The staff directory from the research pass named Ryan Tipton as Warden, Daniel Peterson as Deputy Warden, Chris Greene as Office Manager, and Shane Jameson as Lieutenant and Work Release Coordinator.

The Warren County Prison directory listing is the source for the contact card below.

Call before traveling from Forest County because the jail location, visiting eligibility, and housing assignment all affect whether a visit or release pickup can happen.

Warren County Prison Population

Official sources did not publish a bed rating, current population, average daily population, or online booking count for Warren County Prison. That absence should be stated plainly. Warren County budget material confirms jail activity through jail revenue, housing revenue, and commissary fund lines, but those figures are fiscal data, not a headcount or a rated-capacity number. Forest County statistics are also hard to isolate because Forest County has no county jail of its own.

Research located a Vera regional-jail allocation that groups Forest County with Warren County for trend purposes. The latest row from that data pass reported a 2023 Forest County total jail population allocation of 15.91, pretrial custody of 6.23, and rated capacity allocation of 24.04. Those figures are useful trend context, not a Warren County Prison dashboard and not a county-published daily roster. SCI Forest's much larger state-prison population is separate and should not be counted as the Forest County county-jail population.

Warren County Prison Visits

Warren County Prison visitation is controlled by housing unit. The official FAQ says visitors must be on the inmate's approved visitor list, arrive and register before the scheduled time, provide photo ID, and follow rules for children, dress, conduct, contraband, phones, photos, smoking, and possible searches. Because the schedule is tied to housing assignment, the safest plan is to confirm the inmate's unit and current visit status with the jail before leaving Forest County.

The Warren County Prison visiting-hours FAQ shows the housing-unit schedule used for the table below.

The schedule gives useful local detail, but it does not replace a direct call because housing, discipline status, detox, isolation, and facility operations can change the visit window.

Warren County Prison Mail

Warren County Prison's official FAQ describes a scanned-mail system for personal correspondence. Personal mail is sent to a scanning company, made available to the inmate on a tablet, and then destroyed. Do not send irreplaceable photos or original documents through that personal-mail path. Books may be mailed only from the publisher or distributor. The FAQ also restricts content tied to security threats, escape or drug instructions, violence or hatred, sexually explicit material, stickers, stamps, prepaid envelopes, Polaroids, metal or hard items, food, oversized objects, and third-party correspondence.

Funds may be deposited through JailATM by creating an account, finding the facility, entering the inmate's name, and depositing with a credit card. The jail FAQ also says the lobby kiosk accepts cash or credit card. Money may be used for commissary items, tablet items, and phone calls. The phone provider listed in the Warren County research is ICSolutions, with online setup and a customer phone number. The research did not locate a public Warren County commissary price list or fee schedule, so no deposit fee or item price should be assumed.

Warren County Prison Booking

A Forest County arrest may lead to citation and release, court processing, Warren County Prison custody, transfer on another warrant, or state/federal custody. If the person is booked into Warren County Prison, intake normally involves identity verification, search and property inventory, fingerprinting, booking photo if required, medical and mental-health screening, housing classification, and court or bail processing. Warren County materials mention housing categories such as B-Block, C-Block, D-Block, E-Block, RHU, isolation, detox, and dorm bunks, which shows why classification affects visits.

Booking and court records are not the same thing. Jail intake records may document custody status, booking or commitment date, housing, release, or transfer. UJS court dockets may show complaint numbers, charges, bail, hearings, and dispositions. A jail charge can change after review by the prosecutor or court. If a person is later sentenced to state prison, the county-jail search ends and PA DOC begins. State prisoners may be moved through reception and classification before assignment to SCI Forest or another Pennsylvania institution.

Detainer

A hold from another court, agency, parole office, federal authority, or immigration agency that can block release.

County sentence

A local sentence served in county custody when the court and sentence length allow it.

State sentence

A sentence served in Pennsylvania DOC custody, searched through the PA DOC locator rather than the jail.

Work release

An approved custody status that may allow outside work under strict scheduling and return rules.

Warren County Prison Programs

Warren County Prison's official language emphasizes classification, safety, professional staff, rehabilitative programming, and reintegration. It does not publish a detailed program catalog in the inspected page, so program claims should stay narrow. A Warren County notice about a medication-assisted treatment agreement gives one specific local point: the county discussed MAT services for jail inmates, described as medicine plus therapy for substance-use disorder, with costs covered through opioid settlement funds. That is useful context for intake and conditions because detox and health needs can affect custody placement and visitation status.

Pennsylvania county prisons are subject to state minimum standards and inspection rules under 37 Pa. Code Chapter 95. Warren County official notices also referenced annual PADOC inspections and a potential PADOC investigation contract as an added measure. No current consent decree, active overcrowding order, or official rated-capacity violation was located in the research for Warren County Prison or a Forest County jail. For a current condition, visiting, release, or money question, call the prison rather than relying on old news or third-party roster pages.
