Lebanon County Correctional Facility Inmate Search

Lebanon County Correctional Facility Overview

Lebanon County Correctional Facility is operated by the Lebanon County Prison System under local Prison Board oversight. The official county prison page describes the facility as a 5th Class county prison and a short-term confinement facility. It is not a state prison, even though it may temporarily hold some state or federal inmates who must appear in local court or who are placed there for specific short-term purposes.

The county describes the custody mix broadly. LCCF holds pretrial defendants who have been charged and do not post bail, people serving county sentences of less than two years, certain two-to-under-five-year county placements when ordered by the sentencing judge, probation and parole violators, state or federal writ inmates appearing locally, and Federal Bureau of Prisons community-treatment-center placements. People sentenced to five years or more serve in a state correctional facility rather than the county prison.

The facility leadership listed by Lebanon County includes Warden Tina Litz, Deputy Warden of Operations Heather Diehl, Deputy Warden of Treatment Rebecca Davis, Director of Security Scott Hocker, Director of Work Release Christopher Watson, and Director of Training Edward Potter Jr. Those titles matter for routing because LCCF combines custody, treatment, work release, detail assignments, education, and reentry coordination inside one county prison system.

The official Lebanon County Prison System page shows the jail's address, phone, staff leadership, facility role, and inmate-account links. That page is the best official starting point for facility identity before moving to court dockets, deposit vendors, or records-request channels.

The county page is useful because it confirms that the Walnut Street facility, not Central Booking, is the main long-term local custody location for Lebanon County inmates.

Lebanon County Correctional Facility Capacity and Population

The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections 2025 county-prison inspection schedule lists Lebanon County Correctional Facility with a rated capacity of 645. Lebanon County's 2025-2026 Intermediate Punishment Plan set a county goal of keeping the average daily population below 300. That plan reported average daily population points of 238 one month before May 2025, 252 in May, 298 at the end of July, 315 at the end of September, and 281 at the end of November. It also reported an average length of stay of 55 days for January 1 through November 30, 2025.

More recent county Prison Board material from the June 2026 packet gives an operational snapshot rather than a public roster. For May 2026, the packet reported 62 new commitments, 15 grievances, about 1,100 request slips, 13 work-release inmates employed, and 1,750 detail hours. Those figures show why a name lookup may require multiple official sources: population counts, court dockets, and custody status do not all live in one public county search form.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Lebanon County Correctional Facility

No official public Lebanon County Correctional Facility online roster, booking report, or mugshot gallery was located in the county sources reviewed. For current county-jail custody, use the facility phone or in-person contact first. For charges, bail, and court dates, use Pennsylvania Unified Judicial System case search. For a person who has already moved out of LCCF, use PADOC, BOP, ICE, or VINE depending on the receiving custody system.

1. Call Lebanon County Correctional Facility at 717-274-5451 or contact the facility in person with the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, arrest date, and any known docket or booking information.
2. If the arrest is very recent, check whether the person is still in the Central Booking process before transport to LCCF. Central Booking can be reached during business hours through the director contact at 717-228-4413 or sstager@lebcnty.org.
3. Search Pennsylvania UJS case search for Lebanon County Magisterial District Court or Common Pleas docket sheets showing charges, bail, preliminary hearings, later court dates, and dispositions.
4. If a docket or family contact indicates transfer, use the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections locator for state-sentenced inmates, the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator for federal sentenced custody, ICE ODLS for immigration custody, and Pennsylvania VINE for custody-status alerts.

A Lebanon County Right-to-Know request is the fallback for jail records that are not online and are not answered through routine custody confirmation. A request should identify the person, the date range, the type of record sought, and the county department likely to hold it. Public access can still be limited by criminal-investigation, privacy, safety, or court-record rules.

Lebanon County Correctional Facility Address and Contact

Use the facility contact information for custody confirmation, visitation status, and local jail routing questions. Central Booking and the courthouse are separate parts of the arrest process, so a person who has just been arrested may not appear through the same path as someone already admitted to the Walnut Street facility.

Call before traveling if the purpose is visitation, accessible entry, property, or money-account help. Research did not locate county-published visitor parking rates, visitor-lot instructions, public transit instructions, or ADA entrance notes for the jail, so those details should be confirmed directly with LCCF.

Visiting Someone at Lebanon County Correctional Facility

The LCCF handbook directs visitors to the posted visiting schedule and times in the assigned housing unit. A complete public online schedule was not located, so the assigned unit is the key fact to confirm before planning a visit. The handbook also states that inmate-to-inmate visits are not permitted except for a verified emergency approved in writing, and that a released person must wait six months before entering the facility for visitation purposes.

Video visitation and tablet-related services are mentioned through GettingOut, but the research did not locate an LCCF-specific public video-visitation timetable. Visitors should confirm whether the visit is in person, video, tablet-based, or unavailable for the person's classification, discipline status, housing unit, or intake stage.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Lebanon County Correctional Facility

Lebanon County's money guide and vendor links identify several separate account paths. The lobby kiosk accepts cash or credit for trust and phone deposits. ConnectNetwork handles online trust and phone deposits, with credit generally posted within 24 hours excluding weekends and banking holidays. GettingOut is listed for tablet-related deposits. Oasis/JailCanteen is used for commissary packages, with a $100 maximum per inmate per week.

Mailed funds must be a certified bank check or money order payable to the inmate. The sender should specify the inmate PIN or booking number. Personal checks and cash should not be mailed. Because vendor systems can have account setup rules and service charges that change outside county control, confirm the current transaction screen before submitting a payment.

Booking and Intake at Lebanon County Correctional Facility

Lebanon County Central Booking is a separate processing point staffed 24 hours by District Attorney employees and supervised by County Detectives. It processes new criminal charges, arrest warrants, bench warrants, protection-from-abuse matters, probation violations, and parole violations. New criminal defendants are fingerprinted, photographed, and video arraigned there before a custody decision moves them toward release, bail posting, or transport to LCCF.

If bail is set and not posted, the defendant is transported from Central Booking to Lebanon County Correctional Facility. This explains a common timing issue for family members: the court docket may show a preliminary arraignment or bail condition before the person is fully settled into a housing unit at LCCF. For the earliest hours after arrest, Central Booking and UJS may provide more useful process clues than a jail contact alone.

Once admitted, LCCF procedures described in the handbook include commitment and admission, orientation, treatment assessment, security status, medical services, request slips, grievances, commissary, mail, discipline, chaplain services, counseling, education, trustee assignments, and work release. Those internal steps can affect when a person may make calls, receive visitors, appear in a vendor system, or be assigned to a regular housing area.

About Lebanon County Correctional Facility

LCCF is both a custody facility and a county corrections program hub. Official materials identify work release, detail assignments, drug and alcohol programming, education, Jubilee Ministries, counseling, Life Skills, medication-assisted treatment, Team MISA coordination, reentry coalition work, and treatment-court connections. The June 2026 packet's work-release and detail-hour figures show that part of the jail population is tied to structured employment or facility detail activity, not only secure housing.

Oversight comes from several levels. Pennsylvania county prison minimum standards appear in 37 Pa. Code Chapter 95, and state law in 61 Pa.C.S. Chapter 17 addresses county prison boards and warden reporting. PADOC's Office of County Inspections and Services performs county-prison inspections. Locally, the Lebanon County Prison Board receives operational packets with population, programs, grievances, staffing, and facility activity.

For inmate-search purposes, the most important boundary is custody type. A person held pretrial or on a short county sentence may be at LCCF. A person sentenced to state time belongs in the Pennsylvania DOC locator after transfer. A federal sentenced prisoner belongs in BOP search, and an immigration detainee belongs in ICE ODLS. VINE can help with notification, but it should not be treated as a full replacement for court dockets or direct facility confirmation.
