Zanesville City Jail Overview
Zanesville City Jail is operated by the Zanesville Police Department at 332 South Street in Zanesville. The city police page says the department maintains a jail "to house prisoners awaiting court appearances and serving misdemeanor sentences issued by Municipal Court." That makes the city jail a real local detention facility for municipal-court custody, not merely a brief police holding room. It is separate from Muskingum County Jail, which is operated by the sheriff.
The local city context is unusually strong. The police page says the department was created in 1865 with six officers and has grown to 59 police officers and 33 support personnel. Support personnel include two jail administrators and fifteen corrections officers. That staffing detail supports the city jail's facility status and explains why the city has its own roster channel. The page also says the police department is manned 24 hours, with records hours Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The official police source is shown in the image source list from the Zanesville Police Department page.
The city police page is the source for the jail purpose, police phone, records hours, and dedicated jail support-staff facts.
Zanesville City Jail Population
The official city roster returned 26 current-custody records when inspected on June 24, 2026. That number is a point-in-time public roster count, not an official average daily population. Official city jail capacity was not located in public sources during research. Search results showed a 2025 ODRC annual inspection report for Zanesville City Jail, but the direct inspection PDF content was not harvested and the accessible snippet did not disclose a rated capacity.
The city jail population is tied to Zanesville Municipal Court. The municipal court has territorial jurisdiction over the City of Zanesville and subject-matter jurisdiction over misdemeanor criminal cases, traffic cases, limited felony proceedings, civil cases, and small claims. A city misdemeanor arrest may lead to Zanesville City Jail custody, while a sheriff case, felony transfer, or county court matter may be handled through a different facility or court channel.
Search Zanesville City Jail Roster
The correct online channel is the Zanesville City Jail Inmate Roster. The city police page links this roster, which resolves to NewWorld InmateInquiry agency code OH0600100. The layout mirrors the county system, but the Housing Facility option is Zanesville City Jail and the city current-custody result set is separate from Muskingum County Jail.

Zanesville City Jail Contact
For city custody questions, start with the Zanesville Police Department. For court date, clerk, or municipal case questions, use Zanesville Municipal Court. The two offices are linked by location and jurisdiction, but the custody record and the court case are not the same thing. A city jail roster entry may show booking details while the municipal court record shows the filed complaint, traffic case, limited felony proceeding, or misdemeanor case status.

Zanesville City Jail Visits
City-specific visitation rules were not located on the Zanesville Police Department page during research. Do not apply Muskingum County Jail's IC Solutions schedule, Access Corrections deposit process, or county video-visit rules to the city jail unless the city confirms them. The city police phone is 740-455-0700. If the question is tied to a court appearance, sentence, or municipal case schedule, the Zanesville Municipal Court clerk phone is 740-454-3260.
| Topic | City-Specific Status | Best Contact |
|---|---|---|
| Visitation schedule | Not published in located city source | Zanesville Police Department |
| Mail rules | Not published in located city source | Zanesville Police Department |
| Commissary or money | Not published in located city source | Zanesville Police Department |
| Court appearance | Municipal court issue | Zanesville Municipal Court |
This gap is important. The county jail has a documented IC Solutions and Access Corrections process, but Zanesville City Jail is a city facility with its own police department and municipal-court population. Facility-specific rules should be confirmed before travel, deposits, mail, or account setup.
Zanesville City Jail Money
No official city-specific mail, phone, commissary, or money-deposit instructions were located in the inspected Zanesville Police source. The city roster is documented, but the city page did not publish a vendor, fee table, deposit deadline, mail format, or video visitation system. A person sending funds or mail should call the police department first and avoid assuming the city uses the county jail process.
| Service | Documented City Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | Official city jail mail format not located; call 740-455-0700. |
| Phone / Video | Provider not located in city source. |
| Money Deposit | Provider and fee schedule not located in city source. |
Note: Confirm city jail rules directly with Zanesville Police before sending money, mail, or visit requests.
Zanesville City Jail Booking
The city roster publishes the same types of public booking fields seen in the NewWorld platform: booking-photo thumbnails, linked names, subject numbers, custody status, scheduled release dates, race, gender, date of birth, height, weight, multiple-bookings field, and housing facility. A city booking photo is not a conviction. It is one public custody record tied to a city jail event. Zanesville Municipal Court records are needed to see the filed charge, hearing activity, disposition, or sentence.
City jail custody is most likely when the case is tied to Zanesville police activity or Zanesville Municipal Court. Felony matters can begin in municipal court as limited proceedings, but felony prosecution and later state-prison custody may move beyond the city jail channel. Sentenced Ohio prison custody belongs in the ODRC locator, not the Zanesville City Jail roster.
If the city roster does not answer the question, the documented fallback chain is the Zanesville Police Department phone line, city records hours, and the court clerk for municipal case details. A person transferred to Muskingum County Jail should be checked through the county roster. A person sentenced to Ohio prison should be searched in the Ohio DRC Offender Search. Federal sentenced custody belongs in the BOP inmate locator, and immigration detention uses ICE channels rather than the city jail roster.
About Zanesville City Jail
Zanesville is the county seat and a major local criminal-justice hub for Muskingum County. County background materials note that Zanesville was established in 1804 and served as Ohio's second capital from 1810 to 1812. The city sits near the Muskingum and Licking Rivers and the well-known Y Bridge. Those local facts matter because city police, city court, county court, the sheriff, and county records offices all sit within the same Zanesville-centered justice area, but their records are still separate.
The city police page shows a large modern department with one chief, three commanders, seven sergeants, thirty-six patrol officers, ten detectives, two school resource officers, and support staff that includes dispatchers, records clerks, two jail administrators, and fifteen corrections officers. That is the strongest located support for treating Zanesville City Jail as a distinct facility page. It also explains why city jail lookup should start with the city roster before moving to county, state, or federal channels.
Note: Use the city roster for Zanesville City Jail custody and the county roster for Muskingum County Jail custody.
