Where to Check First
For a current county-jail custody question, start with Northumberland County Jail at 670 Northumberland County Drive, Coal Township, PA 17866. The main jail phone is 570-509-2701, and jail records hours are Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m., closed on holidays. For sheriff warrant, transport, or civil-process office matters, Sheriff Robert Wolfe's office is at 201 Market Street, Sunbury, PA 17801, phone 570-988-4155, with public hours Monday 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. and Tuesday-Friday 9:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
- For a person who may be in Northumberland County Jail, use the county jail phone, PA SAVIN/VINELink, and the fallback steps on jail inmate records.
- For booking photos, remember that no official county mugshot gallery was located; request options are outlined on jail roster mugshots.
- For charges, bail entries, hearings, dispositions, or sentencing after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and Pennsylvania UJS Case Search.
- For facility-specific location and custody context, use the facility pages for Northumberland County Jail and State Correctional Institution Coal Township listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced state prisoner or parolee, use the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections Inmate/Parolee Locator rather than the county jail.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System. Those systems are separate from the county jail and PA DOC.
