CCNO Regional Jail Roster Search
The Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio is a multi-county regional jail. Williams County shares CCNO with Defiance, Fulton, Henry, and Lucas counties. Each county splits costs based on usage. The roster covers inmates from all five counties in one system. When you search for someone from Williams County, you may also see inmates from the other participating counties.
CCNO provides video visitation for inmates. Commissary services run through third-party vendors. Medical, mental health, and educational programs are all available at the facility. The regional model lets smaller counties like Williams get access to better resources than a small standalone jail could offer. CCNO has more staff, more programs, and more capacity than most small county jails would have on their own.
For people who moved from CCNO to a state prison, the ODRC Offender Search is the tool to use. It tracks location, sentence details, and release dates for state inmates. The Ohio.gov offender search portal can also direct you to the right database.
Note: CCNO's roster includes inmates from all five participating counties, not just Williams County.
