Crawford County Released Inmate Records

Crawford County released inmate records are accessible through the Crawford County Correctional Facility in Saegertown, Pennsylvania. The county seat of Meadville serves as the administrative center for Crawford County, while the correctional facility is located a short distance away. Searching these records gives you access to booking history, custody status, and inmate lists for people held at or released from the facility. This page explains how to search Crawford County inmate records, submit formal records requests, and use state resources to find people no longer held at the local county level.

Crawford County Correctional Facility

The Crawford County Correctional Facility, known as CCCF, is located at 2100 Independence Drive in Saegertown, Pennsylvania. The facility opened in 1996, replacing an older jail that could no longer meet the needs of Crawford County. It holds up to 282 inmates and is supervised by Warden Jack Greenfield and Deputy Warden Ben Fair. The facility serves the county seat of Meadville and all municipalities within Crawford County.

CCCF provides a range of programs for inmates in Crawford County. Drug and alcohol group therapy, AA and NA meetings, Bible study, pastoral visits, GED education, parent support groups, and a law library are all available. Inmate worker programs also operate within the facility. These efforts aim to reduce recidivism and prepare individuals for life after release from Crawford County custody. Phone calls are permitted seven days per week from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Details about money deposits, mail, and phone accounts are outlined in the facility's communication policies.

The CCCF website at crawfordcountypa.net is the official source for facility information, inmate lists, and communication policies for Crawford County. You can reach the facility at (814) 763-1190.

Note: The CCCF communication policy page at crawfordcountypa.net details all rules for phone calls, money deposits, and mail for Crawford County inmates and their families.

Crawford County Inmate Lists and Records

Crawford County publishes inmate lists through the CCCF's official website. The inmate list page at crawfordcountypa.net/CCCF/Pages/Inmate-Lists.aspx is the primary public access point for current and recent custody data at the Crawford County Correctional Facility. This resource is maintained by facility staff and updated regularly.

The CCCF inmate list covers individuals held at the county facility only. People sentenced to state prison in Pennsylvania will not appear on this list. To find someone held at a state facility, use the PA DOC Inmate Locator at inmatelocator.cor.pa.gov. It is free, updated daily, and covers every Pennsylvania state correctional institution. Using both the CCCF list and the state locator together gives you the broadest coverage for locating people with ties to Crawford County.

For detailed released inmate records beyond the public roster, a formal Right-to-Know request may be needed. The Criminal History Record Information Act, 18 Pa.C.S. § 9121 et seq., controls what criminal history data can be shared publicly. Some personal details in booking records may be withheld under CHRIA even when the person has been released from Crawford County custody.

Right-to-Know Requests in Crawford County

Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law, 65 P.S. §§ 67.101-67.3104, gives any person the right to request public records from Crawford County agencies. You can submit a written RTK request for booking logs, inmate records, or other documents held by the Crawford County Correctional Facility. The agency must respond within five business days. Responses may grant access, deny with a written reason, or request a 30-day extension.

Requests should be submitted in writing to the CCCF open records officer. Standard copy fees are $0.25 per page under the RTKL. Electronic formats may be available at lower cost. Appeals for denied requests go to the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records at openrecords.pa.gov, reachable at 717-346-9903. The standard RTK form at openrecords.pa.gov/RTKL/StandardRTKForm.cfm is a helpful starting point for drafting a compliant request for Crawford County records.

Records sealed under the Clean Slate Act of 2018 or expunged under 18 Pa.C.S. § 9122 cannot be released through an RTK request. Crawford County must comply with these laws when it responds to requests for released inmate records.

Note: You do not need to state your reason for requesting records under Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law. Any person can request public government records from Crawford County.
