Huntingdon County Prison Inmate Lookup

Huntingdon County Prison Overview

Huntingdon County Prison is operated through the county prison structure and overseen locally by the Prison Board. The official county prison page identifies Brad Glover as Warden and Dan Weikert as Deputy Warden. It is a county jail/prison, not a Pennsylvania Department of Corrections state prison. The facility holds detainees awaiting trial, sentenced county inmates, work-release inmates, and people who may be held at the county prison for up to five years.

The county says the prison was built in 1978 for $1,113,000. The upper level includes the lobby and waiting area, visitor room, attorney conference room, warden's office, holding cells, medical exam room, vehicle vestibule, 15 men's cells, the control center, and the booking room. The lower floor includes the work-release cell block, kitchen, boiler room, storage, and exercise-yard access. The county lists maximum capacity as 48 inmates in 25 cells, while the PA DOC county statistics workbook lists 46 beds for 2024.

The official Huntingdon County Prison page is the source for the facility address, leadership, capacity, and building description.

The county page is useful for facility facts, but it does not provide a searchable live county jail roster.

Huntingdon County Prison Capacity and Population

Two official sources give slightly different capacity views. Huntingdon County's prison page states a maximum capacity of 48 inmates in 25 cells. The PA DOC 2024 County Statistics and General Information workbook lists Huntingdon County with 46 beds, made up of 30 hard-cell beds and 16 dorm or day-room beds. That workbook also reports 35 average in-house daily population, 63 average housed-elsewhere daily population, 432 admissions, and 441 discharges for 2024.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Huntingdon County Prison

No official Huntingdon County online jail roster was located on the county prison, sheriff, or court pages. The county prison page's inmate-search link points to the PA DOC Inmate/Parolee Locator, but that locator is for state-sentenced inmates and parolees and does not find people held in county facilities. For current county-prison custody, use the direct phone or lobby path first, then VINE, UJS, and written public-records requests as needed.

1. Call Huntingdon County Prison at (814) 643-2490 and ask whether the person is currently in county custody.
2. Use full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, committing agency, or court docket information to help staff identify the person.
3. Check Pennsylvania VINE for custody-status and release-notification options.
4. Search Pennsylvania UJS Case Search for court charges, bail events, docket numbers, and scheduled hearings.
5. Use the county Right To Know process for releasable booking or jail records that are not available online.

Huntingdon County Prison Address and Contact

Use the main prison phone for current custody, visiting eligibility, money-account questions, and local facility rules. The county site does not publish a separate 24-hour booking desk number.

Visiting Someone at Huntingdon County Prison

County visits are non-contact general visits. Inmates are permitted one hourly visit two times per week. Visitors must be on the inmate's visitor list and must show valid state photo ID, driver's license, or federal photo ID. Only legal documents may be taken into the visit. Visitors under 18 must be accompanied by an adult, and visits are limited to two adults and a maximum of two children. Smoking materials are prohibited on prison property, and former Huntingdon County Prison inmates need prior written approval from the Warden or Deputy Warden before visiting.

Booking and Intake at Huntingdon County Prison

A person arrested by local police, Pennsylvania State Police, sheriff deputies on a warrant, or another authorized agency may be brought to Huntingdon County Prison if the case belongs in county custody. The county building description supports a controlled intake path through the vehicle vestibule, holding cells, booking room, control center, and medical exam room. Booking normally links the person to the commitment paperwork, charges, bail status, arresting or committing agency, and property account.

The county property rules allow limited approved items at commitment, including clothing basics, prescription glasses or contact lenses, dentures, one plain wedding band if possessed at commitment, religious items, a limited number of photographs and letters, and reasonable legal material. Work-release clothing is accepted only after work release approval and signed work-release agreements are received.

About Huntingdon County Prison

The prison address is 300 Church Street, while the courthouse is at 223 Penn Street, the county government address is 233 Penn Street, the sheriff is at 430 Penn Street, and the District Attorney is at 207 Washington Street. That compact downtown setting matters because custody, court, and records steps may involve different nearby offices.

The facility is tobacco free. County materials document a work-release cell block, attorney conference room, visitor room, medical exam room, and exercise-yard access. The county also publishes PREA information stating zero tolerance for sexual abuse and harassment, while PA DOC county inspections are conducted under Pennsylvania's county correctional institution standards. PA DOC does not run daily county-prison operations; local concerns should go to the warden or county prison authority.
