Lawrence Corrections Center Release Paths
A departure from Lawrence County Corrections Center needs a disposition. A direct discharge may follow bond, time served, sentence expiration, dismissal with no other hold, or another court order. The person may then return to the community and, if ordered, report to Lawrence County Adult Probation or another supervising office. The same departure can instead be transport to a Pennsylvania state correctional institution, another county jail, a treatment placement, federal custody, or ICE.
The jail's commitment and discharge entry is the key local record because it can identify the departure time and whether another agency received the person. PA SAVIN may report a release or movement event. The UJS docket can show the order, bail, disposition, or sentence behind the event, but its filing time is not always the moment someone left the jail. Reconcile these records rather than treating them as interchangeable.
| Departure path | Meaning | Best next check |
|---|---|---|
| Bond or court-ordered discharge | Possible release to the community | Jail departure time and UJS order |
| Time served or sentence expiration | Local custody term may have ended | Sentencing record and discharge entry |
| Transfer to another county | Custody continues in a different jail | Receiving agency and PA SAVIN |
| Commitment to PADOC | State prison custody begins | PADOC Inmate search |
| Release to federal or ICE authority | Another sovereign may keep custody | BOP, federal docket, or ICE ODLS |
Note: A Lawrence County jail departure is not a community release until the disposition and receiving agency establish that result.
Confirm a Lawrence Jail Release
Lawrence County Corrections and the Sheriff's Office publish no official inmate roster, released tab, 24-hour list, 72-hour list, photo gallery, or county mobile app. The absence of a name from a search engine result cannot prove release. Namesake websites and apps for Lawrence counties in Missouri, Indiana, and Arkansas do not cover New Castle, Pennsylvania.
- Call the Corrections Center at 724-654-5384 for present-custody routing. If told the person is not there, ask whether available public information distinguishes release from transfer.
- Search PA SAVIN through VINELink by exact first and last name. Match the participating agency and read the event as release, move, or transfer.
- Check the UJS docket for Lawrence County bail, commitment, disposition, sentencing, and later case events.
- If state commitment is possible, search PADOC's Inmate tab. Use Department Supervised Individual only after physical release on state parole.
- Use BOP or ICE tools only when the discharge entry, docket, or other facts point to federal or immigration custody.
- Request the exact admission and departure timestamps, disposition, release authority, and receiving agency for durable proof.

Lawrence Jail Release Alerts
PA SAVIN is Pennsylvania's free custody-notification service delivered through VINELink. Its county-jail coverage can include release, escape, movement, transfer, and other custody changes sent by a participating provider. Those event types must remain distinct. A movement or transfer alert does not show that someone returned to the community.
Search for a named person by selecting Pennsylvania and entering the exact first and last name. Compare the agency and available identifiers before opening a result. To register, choose Get Notified, add the available phone or email method, continue, and create a four-digit PIN. An automated phone call requires that PIN followed by the pound sign to acknowledge the notice. Calls may repeat when they are not acknowledged.
The static state instructions do not promise a permanent archive or one standard phrase for every release result. A missing name can reflect spelling, coverage, timing, or removal from current data. For Lawrence County, use SAVIN as an event signal and corroborate it through LCCC and the written discharge entry. Phone assistance is available through the PA SAVIN line at 866-972-7284, with TTY at 866-847-1298.
Note: The state warns users not to rely on PA SAVIN alone when a release or transfer decision requires current confirmation.
Lawrence Corrections Records and Contact
The official Corrections page identifies the jail at 111 S. Milton Street, across from the Lawrence County Courthouse. The county lists a main phone and fax but no public release-search hours.

The image supports facility and contact facts. It does not show a roster or recent-release search because the county does not publish either feature there.
Lawrence Corrections Center Details
Lawrence County operates the facility as its principal local custody center. The county uses the name Lawrence County Corrections Center, while PADOC inspection material also calls it Lawrence County Jail. PADOC's 2026 county-prison inspection schedule places it in the western inspection region and lists 282 beds. The county describes its mission as care, custody, and control of prisoners.
Capacity is not a current inmate count. The April 7, 2025 Prison Board minutes gave a point-in-time population of 133 people, including 18 from other counties, and said 10 Lawrence County inmates were housed elsewhere. Those figures document cross-county placement, not annual admissions or releases. They reinforce why “not at LCCC” cannot stand alone as proof of freedom.
Request Lawrence Jail Discharge Records
Lawrence County's Open Records Officer accepts written requests in person, by mail, email, or fax. Telephone, verbal, and anonymous submissions are not formal RTKL requests under county policy. Ask for existing records with enough detail to locate the admission. Do not ask the office to create a narrative or decide what happened.
| Requested field | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Name and booking number | Connects the response to the correct admission. |
| Admission date and time | Defines the start of the custody period. |
| Departure date and time | Shows the physical end of LCCC custody. |
| Release disposition | Separates bond, time served, sentence end, and transfer. |
| Releasing authority | Identifies the order or agency basis. |
| Receiving agency | Shows where custody continued after transfer. |
Pennsylvania County Records Manual series PN-3 says commitment and discharge record books are retained permanently and usually identify the prisoner, committing authority, offense context, and commitment or discharge date. That schedule does not guarantee release of every requested field. Exemptions and redactions may apply, but the permanent book offers an archival path when no web history exists.

Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Under 65 P.S. § 67.901, an agency ordinarily has five business days to grant, deny, partially grant, or invoke an extension. A qualifying notice can add up to 30 days unless the requester agrees otherwise. Lawrence County publishes no release-record-specific fee.
Lawrence Release Fees and Property
The jail page states that a $25 booking fee is assessed on arrival and that amounts owed to the jail are deducted from inmate-account deposits. That charge is not a records-request fee. Official material does not explain the final settlement of a remaining account balance, personal-property return, release exit, pickup area, release hours, or weekend and holiday procedure.
Ask the Corrections Center for its current account-closing and property-return steps for the named release. Confirm the exit point and expected timing before arranging transportation. The official jail sources identify no jail-provided ride or designated transit stop. New Castle Transit is the proper source for current local schedules, but assigning a specific route to jail releases without verified mapping would be inaccurate.
Note: Booking charges, court costs, and public-record copy fees arise from different sources and should not be treated as one release fee.
Lawrence Jail Operations and Repairs
Local records answer a practical question about whether Lawrence County Corrections Center is still operating. The April 2025 Prison Board minutes document replacement of two jail boiler systems. August 2025 commissioner minutes record a bid for elevator repair and renovation. PADOC's inspection schedule also lists the jail and its capacity for 2026.
These sources support continuing operation and maintenance, not a closure or a move to a new institution. Prison Board meeting archives remain useful for changing population, contracts, and operational details. They are not a substitute for the individual commitment and discharge record, and a maintenance project says nothing about a named person's release.
