Brown County Adult Detention Center Inmate Lookup

Brown County Adult Detention Center Overview

The Brown County Adult Detention Center is operated by the Brown County Sheriff's Office. Official sources place the jail and sheriff's office at 750 Mt. Orab Pike in Georgetown, and the sheriff's current leadership page names Sheriff Chris Hodges as sheriff and Captain Chad Noble as jail administrator. The Miami Valley Jails roster also labels the provider row as BROWN COUNTY JAIL, which is the current-custody listing used for this facility.

This is an Ohio full-service county jail. It holds adults arrested or held for Brown County criminal matters, local warrants, local sentences, bond and court holds, and people awaiting transport after state-prison sentencing. Village police departments, sheriff's deputies, Ohio State Patrol, and warrant officers may all bring people into this jail, but the public lookup is centered on the county roster and the jail phone line.

Brown County Adult Detention Center Capacity and Population

ODRC's 2025 full-service jail annual inspection entry reported a total actual general housing capacity of 78 and 77 inmates at the inspection. The Miami Valley Jails provider table showed 80 people in custody for Brown County on June 24, 2026 at 10:16 AM, with a stated 30-minute update interval. Those numbers are point-in-time figures, not an annual average.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Brown County Adult Detention Center

The official current-custody roster is the Miami Valley Jails page at brown.miamivalleyjails.org. The Brown County Sheriff's Office links to that portal as its current inmate roster. It is CAPTCHA-gated, so it must be searched manually in a browser, and the provider notes that it covers only inmates in the listed Brown County jail.

1. Open the Brown County, Ohio, Sheriff current-custody roster and confirm the provider row says BROW-JAIL or BROWN COUNTY JAIL.
2. Complete the human-verification prompt, then use the available name navigation or last-name index.
3. Confirm that the entry is for the current Brown County jail custody record, not a similarly named county in another state.
4. If no listing appears, call the jail at (937) 378-4435, check Ohio VINE, and use ODRC Offender Search for a person sentenced to Ohio prison.

Brown County Adult Detention Center Address and Contact

Use the jail phone for current custody, transfer, bond, and visitor-entry questions. The county government sheriff page lists office hours as "Please call," so do not assume a walk-in records window is open without checking first.

Visiting Someone at Brown County Adult Detention Center

Brown County uses video visitation. On-site video visits are free on assigned housing-block days from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Remote video visitation is available daily from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM for a fee through Visitel. Visitors need photo ID, must arrive 10 minutes early, and may be searched. Late arrivals are not allowed to visit, and only two visitors at one time may enter the visiting area for an inmate.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Brown County Adult Detention Center

Mail must be sent through the U.S. Postal Service to the inmate in care of the Brown County Sheriff's Office. Staff open and inspect correspondence for contraband. Cash, money orders, certified checks, blank paper, and envelopes are not accepted through inmate mail. Mail sprayed with perfume or chemicals may be returned, and only five photos can be mailed at one time.

Booking and Intake at Brown County Adult Detention Center

Booking starts after an officer brings the person to the jail and staff confirm identity, arrest authority, charges, warrants, and paperwork. Ohio full-service jail standards require a booking and identification record for each commitment. The process can include property inventory, medical or mental-health screening, fingerprints, a booking photo, classification, and housing assignment before the public roster fully reflects the custody event.

New arrests may not appear immediately. The roster provider publishes 30-minute updates, but transport, paperwork, intake, and the CAPTCHA access step can all affect what a family member sees online. For urgent confirmation, call the jail rather than relying only on the public roster.

About Brown County Adult Detention Center

The sheriff's inmate-information page documents several local operating rules: housing-unit phones are recorded, inmates cannot receive incoming calls or messages, commissary items must be ordered through the jail process, and personal clothing is not allowed during incarceration. The sheriff also publishes property rules for inmates sentenced to state prison; personal property must be picked up within five days after transport or it may be destroyed.

No separate municipal jail, state prison, federal prison, or ICE detention facility was identified in Brown County from the official sources reviewed. If a person leaves the county roster after sentencing or transfer, check ODRC Offender Search first for an Ohio prison commitment, then federal BOP or ICE systems when federal or immigration custody is plausible.
