Carbon County Correctional Facility Overview
Carbon County Correctional Facility is operated by Carbon County government at 331 Broad Street in Nesquehoning. The current county jail page names Warden Derek George and Administrative Assistant Jodi Kelly. It lists the facility phone as (570) 325-2211 and office hours as 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The jail is the one local detention facility identified in the Carbon County facility map for this project.
The county describes the jail as a secure environment for people legally committed to the facility. That includes people convicted, awaiting trial or parole, and probation violators. The county services directory also describes programs for drug and alcohol counseling, reentry, and church-based support. A person who has been sentenced to a Pennsylvania state correctional institution should be searched through the Pennsylvania DOC locator rather than through the Carbon County jail.
The county jail page shows the official address, warden, phone, and OffenderConnect details for Carbon County Correctional Facility.
Use the county page as the controlling source when older search results show legacy contacts or older warden names.
Carbon County Correctional Facility Capacity
The official Carbon County court prison history page reports a 174-bed facility. It says the older 130-year-old prison closed on January 23, 1995 after age and a growing prison population made it unable to keep pace. The newer Nesquehoning facility opened with maximum, medium, and minimum security units meant to separate people by crime and behavioral factors. Current official pages reviewed did not publish a daily headcount, so capacity should not be read as the current population.
| Facility Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Facility type | County jail / county correctional facility |
| Capacity source | 174 beds from official Carbon County court prison history |
| Security structure | Maximum, medium, and minimum units |
| Current visit groups | Work Release, Medium, Max, RHU, Special, Female, Female RHU |
Search Carbon County Correctional Facility Inmates
No official public Carbon County Correctional Facility roster was located on the county jail page or sheriff site. The practical lookup process starts with the jail and then follows the custody status. If the person was arrested on a warrant, the sheriff's warrant page may explain the court path. If the person has a filed case, UJS Case Search is the public docket path. If the person has moved to state prison, use DOC.
- Call Carbon County Correctional Facility at (570) 325-2211 to ask whether the person is currently held and whether visits, bail, or mail are available.
- Search Carbon County Sheriff's warrants page or its active-warrant portal if a bench warrant may be involved.
- Use UJS Case Search by participant name, docket number, OTN, complaint number, or county filter to find public court records.
- Register through Pennsylvania VINE for custody or case notifications.
- Use Pennsylvania DOC, BOP, or ICE ODLS only when the custody type fits those systems.
Note: The Pennsylvania DOC locator excludes county-facility inmates, so a missing DOC result does not rule out CCCF custody.
Carbon County Correctional Facility Contact
Use the jail for current custody, bail timing, visiting section, deposit questions, and local facility rules. The county jail page lists a fax number and a staff email for administrative contact, but urgent custody confirmation should be handled by phone because inmate status can change faster than written messages are answered.

Carbon County Correctional Facility Visits
The official visitation PDF uses housing sections rather than inmate names. Visitors must show valid photo ID, sign in and out at the administration window, and follow staff direction. People on probation, parole, or bail from a county, state, or federal agency are not permitted to visit unless the prison allows a spouse exception. Personal property, cell phones, tobacco, nicotine products, vaping devices, keys, jackets, hats, purses, baby carriers, and bags are not allowed in the visiting area and must be secured in lockers.

Money and Phone at CCCF
The county page uses OffenderConnect for inmate trust fund and prepaid telephone accounts. The ConnectNetwork facility listing identifies Carbon County PA-Correctional as Site ID 46 and lists AdvancePay Phone and Trust Fund services. It does not turn ConnectNetwork into a jail roster, warrant search, or sheriff records app. Confirm custody before sending money because a transfer or release can change whether a deposit is useful.
The ConnectNetwork Carbon County facility page lists Site ID 46 and the available phone and trust-fund services.
For mail, no official public format was located. Call CCCF before mailing and ask for the inmate name format, accepted address format, and whether mail is scanned or handled by a vendor.
