Use these routes based on the record or custody question:
- For someone in Muskingum County Jail, use the jail inmate records page and the official sheriff roster, then call the jail if a new arrest has not appeared online.
- For a booking photo, start with jail roster mugshots and file a sheriff public-records request if the image is not available in the roster.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest. Common Pleas felony records, Muskingum County Court misdemeanors outside Zanesville, and Zanesville Municipal Court records are separate court channels.
- For Zanesville City Jail custody, contact the Zanesville Police Department at 332 South Street, Zanesville, OH 43701, phone 740-455-0700, or use the city jail roster linked from the police page.
- For a sentenced Ohio state prisoner, use the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction Offender Search rather than the county jail roster.
- For federal or immigration detention, use the federal BOP locator or ICE detainee locator. The sheriff roster is not the official federal or ICE custody system.
