Official Lehigh County Contacts
Lehigh County does not publish an official public online jail roster in the research reviewed for this project. Start with the office that matches the task: jail records for current custody, the Department of Corrections for jail operations, the Sheriff's Office for sheriff duties and bench-warrant routing, the Clerk's Criminal Division for court records, and the county Open Records Officer for Right-to-Know requests.

Use these routes based on the record or custody question:
- For a person who may be in Lehigh County Jail, use jail inmate records and call Jail Records Information at 610-782-3263.
- For booking photos or mugshot availability, review jail roster mugshots and contact jail records or the Open Records Officer.
- For charges, bail actions, hearings, or docket entries after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and the Clerk's Criminal Division.
- For a facility-specific question, use the Lehigh County Jail or Lehigh County Community Corrections Center pages listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced Pennsylvania state prisoner or parolee, use the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections locator, not a county jail roster.
- For a federal or immigration detainee, use BOP, U.S. Marshals, or ICE locator channels instead of county records alone.
