Ohio Department of Corrections Inmate Search

Step 1: Visit the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction Offender Search service page, where you will see the search below:

Step 2: Ohio provides a number of search filters to narrow results – an explanation of what each option does is provided on the page. At a minimum, you will need to enter a last name, but the more information you enter, the more focused your results will be. After entering the information, click on the ‘Search’ button to proceed.

Step 3: On the next page, you’ll see a list of all the inmates or offenders matching your criteria.  Included in the results is a small photo, full name, inmate ID number, date of birth, and a list of offenses committed.

Step 4: Clicking on either the photo or inmate ID number will take you to a detailed profile page, including a larger photo, the current Ohio correctional institution, a list of the offenses committed, sentencing information, and parole dates.  The Victim Info button next to each offense provides a very basic description of the victim (e.g. Adult Female).
