This is a private reference site, not an Adams County office. We cannot confirm custody status, release an inmate, post bond, schedule visits, or obtain official booking records for you. Use the official offices and record systems below for those tasks.
Where to Start
Use the Adams County Adult Correctional Complex for local jail custody questions. Use the Sheriff for warrant and CRIMEWATCH matters. Use the Clerk, court, UJS, or Right-to-Know channels for court files and records that are not posted online.

The ACACC visitor materials list lobby hours as Monday through Friday, 7:00am to 3:00pm. Professional visitors who need access outside normal lobby hours should schedule ahead by calling 717-334-7671 during normal business hours. The research did not locate a general public jail records counter schedule separate from the main facility phone.
- For someone who may be in the county jail, start with jail inmate records and ACACC at 717-334-7671.
- For booking-photo questions, read jail roster mugshots; Adams County did not publish an official ACACC mugshot gallery in the sources reviewed.
- For charges filed after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, UJS Case Search, and the Clerk of Courts.
- For the local detention facility, see the Adams County Adult Correctional Complex page.
- For a state-sentenced inmate or parolee, use the PA DOC Inmate and Parolee Locator; it does not cover county-jail inmates.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator.
- For custody notifications, use Pennsylvania VINE / PASAVIN.
