Mifflin County Inmate Facility
The Mifflin County Correctional Facility is the local jail facility identified in the county research. It is located at 103 West Market Street, Lewistown, PA 17044, with phone 717-248-1130 and fax 717-242-5459. The listed Warden is Jason Kormanic. The facility detains inmates as directed by the courts, provides treatment services, maintains a secure physical environment, and serves both pretrial and sentenced custody functions as allowed by court orders and jail policy.
The same facility also operates the Central Booking Center. Central Booking handles criminal fingerprinting and arraignment, Megan's Law processing, and public fingerprinting. That means a person may pass through booking before a public court docket is easy to read, and a court docket may show charges or bail without acting as a live jail roster. For Mifflin County inmate records, facility custody, court charges, and statewide correctional supervision must be kept separate.
The Mifflin County Correctional Facility page is the official county source for jail role, Central Booking, PREA, and facility contact information.
That source anchors the local jail information, while custody lookup and court lookup still route through separate linked systems.
Mifflin County Inmate Lookup
The county inmate lookup page does not publish a local searchable jail roster. It sends users to the Pennsylvania UJS Web Portal and VINELink for inmate information. VINELink is the county-linked custody notification route. UJS Case Search can show criminal docket records such as charges, bail, court events, dispositions, and sentence entries, but UJS is not the jail roster. The Pennsylvania DOC locator is for state-prison inmates and supervised individuals, not a list of everyone held at the county jail.
Use the tool that matches the question. Current custody and notification needs point first to VINELink and the facility phone. Court case details point to UJS. State prison or state supervision questions point to the Pennsylvania DOC locator. If a person was just arrested or is in Central Booking, direct facility contact may be more useful than waiting for a court docket update.
| Channel | Use It For | What It Is Not |
|---|---|---|
| County inmate lookup page | Official county starting point that links to UJS and VINELink. | Not a local roster with searchable Mifflin County profile fields. |
| VINELink | Custody status and notification route linked by the county. | Not the full criminal case file. |
| UJS Case Search | Dockets, charges, bail, case events, dispositions, and sentence details when public. | Not a live jail housing roster. |
| PA DOC locator | State prison or Department-supervised individuals. | Not the Mifflin County jail list. |
| Facility phone | Public jail information allowed by facility policy. | Not a substitute for a court order or private legal advice. |
The Mifflin County inmate lookup page confirms that the county directs inmate information searches to UJS and VINELink rather than a local public roster.
That linked-page structure is why a Mifflin County inmate search should be described as a set of official channels rather than one county database.
Check Mifflin County Custody
A custody-status check should start broad, then narrow to the right office. This is especially important in Mifflin County because the county page links outward, the jail handles Central Booking, and court dockets may lag behind booking or release activity. The steps below keep the search tied to the official sources in the research and avoid treating a court docket as a jail roster.
- Open the county inmate lookup page and note that it points to UJS and VINELink for inmate information.
- Use VINELink for custody status or notification needs when the person may be in county custody.
- Search UJS by participant name, docket number, OTN, complaint number, incident number, or SID when charges or bail are the main question.
- Use the Pennsylvania DOC locator only when the person may be in state prison or under state supervision.
- Call the Correctional Facility at 717-248-1130 for jail-related public information allowed by policy.
- For court outcomes, verify the docket with the court or clerk because UJS docket data may not show recent entries right away.
Custody point: A court docket can explain why a person was charged, but it does not prove current jail housing.
Mifflin County Inmate Fields
The research includes a search-field table for the county inmate lookup route, but it also states an important limitation: the county page exposes no local roster fields. Exact VINELink and PA DOC dynamic fields were not fully rendered in the source capture, so unverified field labels are not stated as local facts. UJS fields are known from the court search research and can help connect an inmate question to the court case.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options or Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| County inmate lookup | N/A | N/A | Mifflin County exposes no local form and links to UJS and VINELink. |
| UJS Search By | Option list | Yes | Participant Name, Docket Number, OTN, Complaint Number, Incident Number, SID, and related identifiers. |
| VINELink state, agency, or person search | Dynamic web form | Unspecified | Browser text did not expose exact fields, so verify live before relying on labels. |
| PA DOC locator | Dynamic web form | Unspecified | State-prison locator, separate from the county jail. |
Note: No official Mifflin County Sheriff app was found; PAeDocket is a court docket app, not a county jail app.
Mifflin County Inmate Profiles
No public Mifflin County jail roster sample profile was accessible in the official research. Because of that, no local roster fields are claimed for mugshots, booking numbers, housing units, physical descriptors, warrant numbers, projected release dates, or bond per charge. Some of those items may appear in other jail systems, but they were not verified for Mifflin County's official public page.
| Field | What the Research Supports |
|---|---|
| Name or person search | UJS can search by participant name, and VINELink is linked for inmate information, but no local roster profile was captured. |
| Charges | UJS dockets may show charges and offense data when public. |
| Bail | UJS criminal dockets may show bail entries, but that is a court record field, not a jail profile field. |
| Custody status | VINELink is the county-linked custody notification route. |
| Booking or housing detail | No official local public roster sample confirmed these fields. |
| Release information | Facility public information may be limited by policy and should be verified directly. |
Mifflin County Jail Contact
The Correctional Facility is at a different Lewistown address from the courthouse and the Probation annex. That detail can prevent misdirected visits. Court offices are at 20 North Wayne Street, the jail and Central Booking are at 103 West Market Street, and Probation is at 101 West Third Street. For Mifflin County inmate records, custody-status questions belong with the jail or linked custody tools, while case-file questions belong with the court system.

Administration hours in the family guide are Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM-4:00 PM, closed holidays. The guide also states that rules can change at any time at the Warden's discretion or as directed by the Shift Commander for security reasons.
Mifflin County Inmate Visits
The January 2025 family guide provides the visitation schedule used in the research. Mifflin County inmates may receive one one-hour visit per week, but the actual visit time is less than one hour because visitor change-out is included. Visiting is closed on major holidays. Overflow or special visits may be available on weekdays for excessive travel or other considerations, but those exceptions must be approved before the visit.
| Visit Type | Days and Times | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Main facility visits | Tuesday-Friday, 9:00 AM-5:00 PM | One one-hour visit per inmate per week, with change-out included. |
| Saturday visits | Saturday, 8:15 AM-4:00 PM | Closed major holidays. |
| Overflow or special visits | Weekdays, 9:00 AM-12:30 PM | Exceptions must be approved before the visit. |
| Religious visits | One per week | Inmates may receive one religious visit per week. |
Visitors should verify the current schedule with the Correctional Facility before travel. The research does not provide exact dress-code text, visitor ID rules, child visitor rules, video-visit provider information, or property-release rules from the PDF body, so those details should not be invented.
Mifflin County Booking Records
Booking and court records overlap, but they do not mean the same thing. Central Booking handles criminal fingerprinting and arraignment at the facility. UJS dockets may later show the charges, bail, court events, and dispositions that grew out of the arrest. If the case is a misdemeanor or felony, early MDJ proceedings may move to the Court of Common Pleas. Summary cases and traffic citations may remain at the MDJ level.
For people who need the charge path rather than the custody path, the related Mifflin County arrest records and court charges page tracks the arrest-to-charge record more closely. That distinction helps avoid a common mistake: looking for charge status in a jail roster that the county does not publish as a local public profile search.
- Central Booking
- The facility function for criminal fingerprinting and arraignment.
- Custody status
- Whether a person is held, released, transferred, or subject to notification data.
- Court docket
- The court's event record for charges, bail, filings, hearings, dispositions, and sentence entries.
- State DOC locator
- The Pennsylvania state-prison and supervised individual lookup, separate from county jail custody.
Mifflin County Inmate Funds
The Correctional Facility page links JailATM for adding funds to an inmate account. The research confirms the JailATM deposit channel but does not provide local deposit limits, commissary prices, or full fee terms. For that reason, Mifflin County inmate fund instructions should name the official linked vendor and leave exact transaction limits or prices to the live vendor and facility rules.
The family guide table of contents includes inmate accounts, inmate telephone, sending mail to an inmate, inmate property, inmate bail and release, and public information or news media topics. The research did not extract exact mail address formatting, phone-call provider terms, or property-release steps. Those details should be checked directly in the current facility guide or through the jail before sending mail, arranging calls, or trying to release property.
| Service | Research-Supported Source | Practical Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Inmate account deposits | JailATM link from the facility page. | Exact fees and limits were not captured in the research. |
| Phone calls | Facility page links a guide for phone calls. | Provider and rate details were not extracted. |
| Family guide includes sending mail to an inmate. | Exact mail rules need the current guide or facility confirmation. | |
| Bail and release | Family guide includes inmate bail and release. | Court and facility instructions control the actual release path. |
Mifflin County PREA Reporting
The Correctional Facility has a zero-tolerance policy for institutional sexual harassment, sexual assault, or sexual abuse, and the county states that policies were developed under federal PREA standards. PREA reporting can be mailed to the PREA Coordinator at the same West Market Street facility address. This is a facility reporting route, not a court docket search, but it belongs with inmate records because it concerns jail safety and custody conditions.
Megan's Law processing is also listed as a Central Booking function. That does not make the jail roster a Megan's Law registry. Pennsylvania State Police maintain the Megan's Law public registry, and the jail's role is processing tied to required registration steps. Treating those sources as separate keeps Mifflin County inmate records from being confused with statewide registry data.
