This is a private reference site, not the Guernsey County Sheriff's Office, the Guernsey County Jail, a court clerk, or a government records desk. It cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, post bond, schedule visitation, or pull an official booking record. Use the official offices below for those requests.
Where to Look for Jail and Court Records
For Guernsey County custody questions, start with the agency that owns the record or the locator that matches the custody type.

Sheriff Jeffrey D. Paden's office operates the jail and the local inmate portal. Use the sheriff's NextRequest portal for sheriff records that are not available through the public roster.
- For a current county-jail inmate, use jail inmate records first, then call the sheriff's main number if the booking may be too new for the roster.
- For booking photographs or mugshot questions, review jail roster mugshots and request older or missing records from the sheriff's office when needed.
- For charges filed after booking, use court records after a jail arrest, then search the correct court docket.
- For the local detention facility, use the Guernsey County Jail page listed in the footer.
- For Common Pleas criminal records, contact Clerk Jennifer Johnson at 801 Wheeling Avenue, Cambridge, OH 43725, 740-432-9230, Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.; Common Pleas records requests may be sent to clerkrequests@guernseycounty.org.

- For a sentenced Ohio prisoner, use ODRC Offender Search rather than the county jail roster.
