Huntingdon County Inmate Population
The Huntingdon County inmate population has two very different local centers. Huntingdon County Prison is the county jail/prison at 300 Church Street. It holds pretrial detainees, county-sentenced inmates, work-release inmates, and people who may stay in county custody for up to five years. The county page names Brad Glover as Warden and Dan Weikert as Deputy Warden, and it describes a small two-story facility built for local detention work.
SCI Huntingdon is separate. It is a Pennsylvania Department of Corrections state prison at 1100 Pike Street. It holds state-sentenced adult male inmates and is searched through the PA DOC locator, not through a county jail roster. That split matters because many searches for Huntingdon inmates mix the county prison and the state prison. The county prison is where local arrest custody starts. SCI Huntingdon is where state sentences are served after DOC classification and transfer.
Huntingdon County Inmate Population Statistics
The county prison is small by Pennsylvania standards, but the total Huntingdon County inmate population is larger than the people physically inside 300 Church Street on an average day. The PA DOC county inspections and statistics workbooks list both in-house and housed-elsewhere averages. For 2024, the workbook lists 35 average in-house inmates and 63 average housed elsewhere for Huntingdon County. That means out-of-county housing is a central part of the local custody picture.
The county page states a maximum capacity of 48 inmates in 25 cells. The 2024 DOC county workbook lists 46 total beds, 30 hard-cell beds, and 16 dorm or day-room beds. It also lists 432 admissions, 441 discharges, an approved prison budget of $2,182,605, a spent prison budget of $2,091,404, and a 2024 average daily cost of $163.71 per inmate. Each figure comes from the county page or the DOC county workbook, not from a commercial roster.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Date |
|---|---|---|
| County prison maximum capacity | 48 inmates, 25 cells | Huntingdon County Prison page, accessed June 2026 |
| DOC county bed capacity | 46 beds | PA DOC 2024 county statistics workbook |
| Average in-house daily population | 35 | PA DOC 2024 county statistics workbook |
| Average housed elsewhere daily population | 63 | PA DOC 2024 county statistics workbook |
| Admissions and discharges | 432 admissions; 441 discharges | PA DOC 2024 county statistics workbook |
| SCI Huntingdon population | 1,884 of 2,312 capacity | PA DOC monthly population report, May 31, 2026 |
The county prison page is the direct source for local building facts. The screenshot below comes from the official Huntingdon County Prison page and shows the county source used for the facility address, warden, and capacity language.
Use the county page for the facility facts and the PA DOC workbooks for the reported population and bed counts.
Huntingdon County Inmate Population Trends
Recent county statistics show a decline in the in-house jail count and an increase in housed-elsewhere averages. Huntingdon County reported 43 average in-house inmates in 2022, 40 in 2023, and 35 in 2024. During the same span, the housed-elsewhere average rose from 50 to 52 to 63. That pattern is important for custody research because a person may be part of the Huntingdon County jail population even when housed outside the Church Street building.
| Year | In-House ADP | Housed Elsewhere ADP | Admissions | Discharges |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 38 | 40 | 376 | 372 |
| 2022 | 43 | 50 | 466 | 461 |
| 2023 | 40 | 52 | 441 | 434 |
| 2024 | 35 | 63 | 432 | 441 |
The trend does not prove why people were housed elsewhere. It does show that the Huntingdon County inmate population should not be judged only by the count inside the county building. Capacity, transport, classification, sentence status, and county housing agreements can all affect where a person is held after booking.
Huntingdon County Inmate Demographics
The DOC county statistics include snapshot demographics. The Jan. 31, 2025 snapshot listed 36 total inmates, all male, with 34 White male inmates and 2 Black male inmates. The same snapshot listed no female inmates and no under-18 inmates. The age profile was concentrated in adult age bands, with 2 males ages 20 to 24, 5 ages 25 to 29, 6 ages 30 to 34, 7 ages 35 to 39, 3 ages 40 to 44, 8 ages 45 to 54, and 5 ages 55 or older.
Mental-health and medical data are also reported in the county workbook. The 2024 workbook listed 11 male inmates on psychotropic medication at the Jan. 31, 2025 snapshot and 10 male inmates on a mental-health caseload. It also listed 3 days of medication supplied upon release. These figures are useful for population context, but they are not a way to search for a named inmate.
Laws for Huntingdon County Jail Data
Public access to Huntingdon County inmate population records depends on Pennsylvania law and the office that holds the record. The Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law governs state and local agency records and gives written requesters appeal rights. Section 703 covers written requests to an agency open-records officer, and Section 706 covers redaction when a record has both public and exempt material.
Key access rules: 61 Pa.C.S. Chapter 17 governs county correctional institutions, prison boards, wardens, reports, and safekeeping. 37 Pa. Code Chapter 95 sets county correctional institution standards and inspection rules. 18 Pa.C.S. Chapter 91 governs criminal history record information.
For Huntingdon County, the practical route is office by office. Current custody questions go to the county prison. County administrative records and releasable booking records can be requested through the county Right To Know page and standard request form. DA-held records use the District Attorney RTKL process, which does not accept verbal or anonymous requests.
Search Huntingdon County Inmate Custody
No official Huntingdon County current-inmate roster, jail booking report, or mugshot roster was located on the county prison, sheriff, or court pages. The county prison page has a "Search For An Inmate" link, but it sends users to the Pennsylvania DOC locator. The state locator does not include county-facility inmates. That mismatch is the main point in a Huntingdon County inmate search.
- Call Huntingdon County Prison at (814) 643-2490 for current county-prison custody, release eligibility, visit status, and money or phone questions.
- Use Pennsylvania VINE for custody-status notifications when a public county roster is not available.
- Search Pennsylvania UJS Case Search for charges, docket events, bail entries, and hearing dates after the arrest.
- Use the PA DOC Inmate/Parolee Locator only for state-sentenced inmates and parolees.
- Use BOP, USMS contacts, or ICE ODLS when the custody is federal or immigration-related.
The Pennsylvania VINE screenshot below comes from the state VINE landing page. It is useful when a caller needs custody-status alerts rather than a static jail roster.
VINE should supplement direct prison contact. It is not a replacement for the county prison, court docket, or PA DOC locator.
Huntingdon County Roster Search Fields
Because no official county web roster was found, there are no county online search fields to render for Huntingdon County Prison. Searchers should treat name, booking date, date of birth, committing agency, docket number, OTN, and arrest date as facts to have ready when calling or filing a request. The county does publish enough contact and procedure information to make the fallback chain workable.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| County jail roster search | n/a | n/a | No official Huntingdon County jail roster search interface was located. |
| Name, booking number, DOB | n/a | n/a | Not available through an official county online form found during research. |
| PA DOC last name | text | yes for name search | For state-sentenced inmates and parolees, not county jail custody. |
| UJS Search By | dropdown | yes | Participant Name, OTN, Docket Number, Complaint Number, Date Filed, and other court fields. |
Huntingdon County Inmate Records
A releasable county booking record may include practical fields even though no public county profile was observed online. Ask for the inmate name, commitment date and time, committing or arresting agency, docket or OTN number, booking charges, bail or bond status, court of jurisdiction, custody status, property or money account status, visitation eligibility, and release or transfer status. Some parts may be redacted under RTKL, CHRIA, juvenile limits, or investigative exemptions.
- Booking
- Jail intake after arrest or court commitment.
- OTN
- Offense Tracking Number used in Pennsylvania criminal processing.
- Detainer
- A hold from another court or agency that may stop release.
- Disposition
- The court outcome, such as dismissal, plea, verdict, or withdrawal.
County Jail vs State Prison
Huntingdon County Prison and SCI Huntingdon sit close to each other, but they are not the same custody system. County jail custody covers local arrests, pretrial detention, county sentences, work release, and some transfers. State prison custody begins after a state sentence and DOC intake. Money rules, visitation, mail, search tools, and release questions change when a person moves from county custody to PA DOC custody.
| County Prison | State Prison | |
|---|---|---|
| Local facility | Huntingdon County Prison | SCI Huntingdon |
| Who is held | Pretrial, county-sentenced, work release | State-sentenced adult male inmates |
| Where to search | Phone, lobby, RTKL, VINE, UJS | PA DOC Inmate/Parolee Locator |
| Rules used | County prison visitation, mail, money | PA DOC visitation, Smart Communications mail, DOC money services |
Huntingdon County Detention Facilities
Two facilities belong in the local inmate-population map. The first is the county prison for arrest and county custody. The second is the state prison in the same county. No separate BOP prison, ICE detention center, city jail, regional jail, or separate work-release building was located in official sources.
- Huntingdon County Prison holds pretrial detainees, sentenced county inmates, work-release inmates, and people held for county cases.
- SCI Huntingdon holds state-sentenced adult male inmates under the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections.
