This is a private reference site, not a Lackawanna County office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, post bond, schedule a visit, or obtain official booking records for you. Use the official contacts below for those actions.
Official Contacts for Inmate and Record Questions
Use the office that matches the record or custody type. Lackawanna County Prison is the starting point for current local custody, while court, state, federal, immigration, and public-records questions use separate systems.

Official Lackawanna County Right-to-Know page
Use the county Right-to-Know process for specific public records such as releasable booking records, jail logs, or booking-photo requests. Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law may allow access to local-agency records, but exemptions can apply to investigative, juvenile, medical, security, privacy, sealed, or protected criminal-history material.
- For someone believed to be in Lackawanna County Prison, start with jail inmate records and the prison phone line.
- For booking photos, read the jail roster mugshots page before filing a narrow Right-to-Know request.
- For charges, bail entries, hearings, and docket numbers after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and Pennsylvania UJS Case Search.
- For facility-specific questions, use the Lackawanna County Prison, Scranton Community Corrections Center, and GEO Scranton pages linked in the footer.
- For a sentenced Pennsylvania state prisoner or parolee, use the PA DOC locator; it does not include county-facility inmates.
- For custody notifications, use Pennsylvania VINELink where available.
- For federal custody, use the BOP inmate locator; for immigration detention, use ICE ODLS.
