Northern Ohio Juvenile Community Corrections Facility Overview
The Northern Ohio Juvenile Community Corrections Facility is listed by Erie County at 1338 Tiffin Avenue, Sandusky, Ohio. The official page gives the phone as (419) 627-7611 and fax as (419) 627-6672. The research identifies Robert Wikel as Superintendent of Corrections and Eric Mathews as Program Director.
The facility is part of the juvenile justice setting, not the adult Erie County Jail population. It should not be treated as a public adult inmate roster facility. The research did not locate a public roster, capacity number, current population figure, adult-style mugshot access, bond table, or commissary deposit instructions for this facility. Its page is best used for identification, contact, and careful routing of juvenile facility questions.
Because this is a juvenile community corrections facility, access to individual information can depend on court authority, legal relationship, facility policy, and confidentiality rules. If the person being searched is an adult arrested in Erie County, the correct starting point is the sheriff-operated Erie County Jail and the JDS adult roster, not this juvenile program.

The county page confirms the facility name, address, phone, fax, and named officials, but it does not publish a searchable custody list.
What This Facility Is and Is Not
The facility map describes the population held as juveniles in a regional community corrections program, not adult county jail inmates. That distinction controls the rest of the access discussion. The adult Erie County Jail is for pretrial detainees, sentenced misdemeanants, court commitments, probation and parole holds, holds for other agencies, and people awaiting transfer to ODRC. Northern Ohio Juvenile Community Corrections Facility is a juvenile program facility and does not use the adult JDS public roster.
It is also not a state prison. No adult ODRC prison was located physically inside Erie County in the official research. It is not a BOP facility and not an ICE detention facility. Those differences matter because users often see custody terms such as detention, corrections, jail, prison, and hold used across different systems. Each system has its own search tool and disclosure rules.
How to Request Permissible Information
No public online roster was located for Northern Ohio Juvenile Community Corrections Facility. Juvenile community corrections information is not equivalent to adult jail booking information. For questions about contact, program status, visitation, or allowable disclosure, use the facility contact number and be prepared for the answer to be limited.
- Confirm that the inquiry involves the juvenile community corrections facility, not the adult Erie County Jail.
- Call (419) 627-7611 and ask what information the facility can lawfully provide.
- Have the youth's full legal name, case context, and your legal relationship ready if disclosure is permitted.
- For an adult search, use the Erie County Jail roster, ODRC Offender Search, BOP Inmate Locator, or ICE locator as appropriate.
Access limit: Do not expect adult jail roster fields, booking photos, bail amounts, release dates, or commissary links from this juvenile facility.
Northern Ohio Juvenile Community Corrections Facility Address and Contact
The official county page provides a single facility contact block. Because the program serves juveniles, contact should happen before travel, mail, or visit attempts. The research did not locate separate public walk-in hours or a public visitation table.

Visitation and Family Contact
Public visitation rules for Northern Ohio Juvenile Community Corrections Facility were not located in the researched official materials. Adult jail video visitation rules from Erie County Jail should not be transferred here. A juvenile program may limit contact based on program rules, court orders, parent or guardian status, safety, and confidentiality requirements.
| Question | Supported Answer |
|---|---|
| Is there a public visit schedule? | No official public schedule was located in the research. |
| Do adult jail video hours apply? | No. Those hours belong to Erie County Jail. |
| What should families do first? | Call (419) 627-7611 for facility-specific instructions. |
Mail, Phone, and Property Caveats
The research did not locate a facility-specific public mail format, phone vendor, property release rule, commissary system, or money-deposit channel for Northern Ohio Juvenile Community Corrections Facility. Those topics are documented for the adult Erie County Jail, but they cannot be assumed for this juvenile program. Any mail, phone, property, or account question should be confirmed with the facility before action is taken.
| Service | Research Finding |
|---|---|
| No public program-specific mail rule was located. | |
| Phone contact | No public juvenile phone-provider details were located. |
| Money or commissary | No public deposit vendor was located for this juvenile facility. |
| Property | No public property-transfer instructions were located. |
Juvenile Record Access and Confidentiality
Ohio public-records access starts with ORC 149.43, but that does not make juvenile custody information equivalent to adult jail records. Juvenile information may be confidential, restricted, sealed, redacted, or available only to certain people through court or facility channels. The research supports a cautious approach: identify the facility, use its official contact number, and avoid claims that youth names, photos, charges, program status, or release information are publicly searchable.
When the question is actually about an adult arrest, adult systems should be used. The JDS roster covers current Erie County Jail custody. Municipal and Common Pleas court systems linked from the county home page cover filed adult court records, and the sheriff's Glyph Reports portal covers incident-report searches. ODRC covers people sentenced to Ohio prison or under ODRC supervision. BOP covers federal prisoners, and ICE tools cover immigration detention. Northern Ohio Juvenile Community Corrections Facility is outside those adult public search paths.
Adult Search Caveat for Erie County
Adult Erie County custody begins with the sheriff-operated jail at 2800 Columbus Avenue. The adult roster can show current male and female sections, Jail ID, photo column, name, charges, court, disposition, total bail, book date, attorney label, next court date, arresting agency, and release date. Roster examples in the research included bench warrants, probation violations, holds for the Adult Parole Authority, US Marshals holds, Border Patrol or ICE holds, CRC holds, and other court or police holds.
Those adult roster facts are useful, but they should not be imported into the juvenile community corrections context. A youth in a juvenile program may not be listed publicly. An adult who disappears from the county jail roster may have been released, transferred to prison, moved to another agency, or held in another system. The correct locator depends on the current legal custody system.
About Northern Ohio Juvenile Community Corrections Facility
The official county source gives a focused facility profile: name, Tiffin Avenue address, phone, fax, Superintendent of Corrections, and Program Director. It does not provide a public population count, capacity figure, current resident list, visitation schedule, or money service. That limited public profile is consistent with a juvenile facility rather than an adult jail roster page.
For Erie County's broader custody map, the adult Erie County Jail is the primary public jail roster facility. Erie County Detention Center is the separate juvenile detention center at the same Tiffin Avenue address. Northern Ohio Juvenile Community Corrections Facility is the juvenile community corrections facility, with different program and confidentiality expectations from both adult jail custody and a simple online inmate search.
Confirm first: Contact the facility before visiting, mailing items, or relying on any custody assumption because juvenile information may be restricted.
