Holmes County Jail Roster Status
No standard browser-based Holmes County Jail roster was verified on the official sheriff website during the research review. The Holmes County Jail and Corrections page gives jail capacity, full service jail status, visitation, InmateSales instructions, phone-rate information, and facility rules, but it does not expose a public current-inmate search table in the normal site navigation. That matters because many counties publish a live roster with names, booking dates, charges, and bond notes. Holmes County requires a more careful fallback chain.
The local custody record begins with the Holmes County Sheriff's Office because Ohio law places the county jail and people confined there in the sheriff's charge. Sheriff Timothy W. Zimmerly's office operates the Holmes County Jail at the sheriff complex in Holmesville. A person arrested by the sheriff, Millersburg Police, or another local agency is usually taken to the county jail if custody is required. For a current custody question, the jail line and sheriff main line are stronger sources than an unverified third-party roster.
The official jail page is the best public source for how the county describes the facility before any records request is made.
That page confirms the jail framework, but custody confirmation still runs through the jail, VINE, records staff, or the sheriff app caveat described below.
Search Holmes County Inmates
Because no verified official web roster was found, a Holmes County inmate lookup should be treated as a custody-confirmation process, not as a single search box. Start with the jail/corrections line when the question is immediate. Use the public-records path when a booking record, offense report, or photograph is needed. Use Ohio VINE when the goal is release or transfer notification. Use ODRC, BOP, or ICE only when the person is outside the county jail system.
- Call the Holmes County Jail/corrections line at (330) 674-5549 or the sheriff main line at (330) 674-1936 to ask whether the person is currently held.
- Check the official Holmes County Sheriff, Ohio mobile app for sheriff-provided custody tools, but do not assume it shows roster fields or mugshots because the store listings do not verify those details.
- Use Ohio VINE through the sheriff's page or the statewide VINELink Ohio portal for custody-status and criminal-case notifications.
- For booking records, offense records, or older material, use the sheriff's public-information request process.
- If the person has been sentenced to state prison or is under ODRC supervision, search the Ohio DRC Offender Search instead of the county jail.
- For federal custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator; for immigration detention, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
Holmes County Roster Fields
The research did not locate an official Holmes County web jail roster form. That means no verified county search field list can be published for the browser roster. The absence of a public form should not be filled with guessed fields such as booking number, housing unit, or bond amount. Those fields may exist inside the jail-management system or in an app workflow, but they were not confirmed from official browser sources.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Not available | Not available | Not available | No official browser-based Holmes County Jail roster/search form was located on the sheriff website. |
For VINELink, the sheriff states that custody status changes and criminal case information are available at all hours, but the interactive portal is JavaScript-heavy. For ODRC, the state search accepts last name, first name, county of commitment, status, number, and other filters. A Holmes County result in ODRC means state prison or supervision data, not a current county jail bed assignment.
Holmes County Inmate Record Details
A county booking record is different from a public web roster profile. Holmes County's public sources do not verify that a browser profile displays mugshots, bond amounts, housing units, booking numbers, or charge rows. The safer way to describe a local record is to tie it to the sheriff's public-records policy. That policy recognizes photographs, paper records, video, maps, email, drafts, notes, phone messages, and other fixed media when they document official functions, subject to Ohio and federal exemptions.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name and identity | Used by jail staff to confirm the person booked or held; requesters should provide full name and date of birth when known. |
| Booking or intake date | May identify when the person entered Holmes County Jail, if the record is released by the sheriff. |
| Arresting agency | Shows whether the sheriff, Millersburg Police, another local agency, or an outside agency brought the person in. |
| Booking charges | Initial jail language that may differ from formal charges later filed by the prosecutor or court. |
| Bond or hold notes | Must be verified with the jail or court because no county web bond field was confirmed. |
| Booking photograph | A photograph may be requested as a public record unless an exemption, redaction rule, or court order applies. |
After charges are filed, the court record becomes the better source for the case number, judge, hearing dates, filed charges, motions, pleas, and disposition. For that side of the process, use the Holmes County court records after jail arrest material rather than relying only on custody data.
Holmes County Custody Systems
A Holmes County jail record covers local custody. It does not cover every person connected to a Holmes County case. A sentenced Ohio felony prisoner can leave the county jail and appear in ODRC. A federal defendant may be in BOP custody or in U.S. Marshals contract custody. A person with immigration custody questions may require ICE. Keeping those systems separate prevents false no-results searches.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| County jail custody | Holmes County Jail phone, sheriff records, VINE, official app caveat | Adults held locally before trial, after arrest, on short sentences, or for outside agencies. |
| Ohio state prison or APA supervision | ODRC Offender Search | People incarcerated in an Ohio prison, released, under APA supervision, or violators at large. |
| Federal custody | BOP Inmate Locator | People in BOP custody from 1982 to present, with federal release and location fields. |
| Immigration detention | ICE detainee locator | Adults in ICE custody or CBP custody after more than 48 hours, when searchable. |
Note: ODRC's County of Commitment field can point to Holmes County sentencing activity, but it does not necessarily prove Holmes County residence.
Holmes County Jail Facility
The Facility Map lists one local detention facility: Holmes County Jail. It is operated by the Holmes County Sheriff's Office and serves adult male and female inmates. The sheriff-published capacity is 60 beds, divided into 50 male beds and 10 female beds. ODRC's 2025 inspection uses a 58-bed actual general housing capacity and a 58-bed recommended capacity. Both figures are useful because they come from different official contexts.

Holmes County Booking Process
Holmes County does not publish a step-by-step booking procedure, so the reliable public description comes from the sheriff's facility role, Ohio jail standards, and the ODRC inspection categories. A person is arrested or taken into custody based on probable cause, a warrant, a court order, or a sentence. Sheriff road patrol, local police, or another agency may transport the person to Holmes County Jail. Jail staff then receive the person, confirm identity, secure property, create or update the booking record, and complete intake tasks.
Booking can include photographs, fingerprints, medical and mental-health screening, and classification. Classification means the jail assesses risk, sex, medical needs, behavior, court status, and housing needs. ODRC inspected reception and release, classification, housing, medical and mental-health services, security, visitation, grievance, discipline, and staff training during the 2025 jail inspection. Formal charges may later change after prosecutor review, so booking language should not be treated as the final court charge.
Holmes County Jail Visits
The sheriff's jail page says minimum jail standards allow 30 minutes of visitation per week. For Holmes County Jail, that means an inmate has 30 minutes during the scheduled time to visit up to four visitors total. It is not 30 minutes per visitor. Visits can be suspended for discipline, emergencies, or other jail needs. Visitors need photo ID and may be refused for dress, behavior, language, or intoxication.
| Visit Rule | Holmes County Detail |
|---|---|
| Weekly visit length | 30 minutes per inmate during scheduled time. |
| Visitor count | Up to four visitors total for that visit period. |
| Arrival | Arrive at least 30 minutes before the end of scheduled visitation. |
| Identification | Photo ID is required. |
| Minors | No one under 18 may visit; children in the lobby must be supervised by an adult. |
| Prohibited items | Cell phones, cameras, electronics, purses, bags, and similar items are not allowed in the visitation area. |
Holmes County Booking Records
When a jail record is not available through a current custody call, use the sheriff's public-information process. The public-information request page says a request form is available for convenience, but Ohio law does not require a requester to use a written form for an ordinary public-records request. Immediately available records are provided immediately. Older or high-volume requests are usually provided within three business days, with written notice if more time is needed.
The public-records page contains two hours statements: general requests Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m., and offense/crash reports Monday-Friday 6:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m., excluding legal holidays. Call the sheriff before visiting so the right counter and hours are confirmed. Email delivery has no charge when the office can send the record that way.
| Record Cost | Published Amount |
|---|---|
| One-sided copy | $0.10 per page |
| Two-sided copy | $0.15 per page |
| CD with case / DVD with case | $0.65 / $0.85 |
| CD without case / DVD without case | $0.40 / $0.60 |
| Fax local / long distance | $0.05 per page / $0.10 per page |
| Legal envelope / 9x12 kraft envelope / CD mailer | $0.05 / $0.10 / $0.80 |
The sheriff's public records policy page is the source for the fee schedule and request rules.
Those published fees apply to copies and delivery, not to bond payments or court costs.
Holmes County Inmate Lookup Alternatives
Ohio VINE is useful when the goal is notification rather than a full jail profile. The sheriff's VINE page says VINELink is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for reliable information about custody status changes and criminal case information. VINE should be used as a custody-status and notification tool, not as a promise that every booking field, mugshot, or bond term will be shown.
The official Holmes County Sheriff, Ohio mobile app appears in both the Google Play and Apple App Store listings. The store text says the app supports reports, tips, interactive features, public safety news, and information. A non-official snippet suggests a jail roster may exist in the app, but the official browser listings do not confirm roster fields. Treat the app as a sheriff-provided channel to check, not as a verified source for mugshots, charges, or release details.
Federal and immigration paths remain separate. BOP result fields include name, register number, age, race, sex, release date, and location. ICE searches may require A-number and country of birth or name, country of birth, and birth date. No BOP prison or ICE detention facility was found in Holmes County sources, and no official source showed an ICE contract for the Holmes County Jail.
Note: Confirm custody with the jail before scheduling a visit, sending funds, or relying on a third-party roster result.
