Inmate Search at London Correctional Institution

Using the ODRC Offender Search

The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction maintains an official offender search at appgateway.drc.ohio.gov/OffenderSearch. This covers all ODRC inmates across the state, including those at London CI.

What you can search by:

• First and last name
• ODRC offender number
• County of conviction
• Upcoming hearing date

What results show:

• Current facility name and location
• Sentence start date and projected release date
• Security classification
• Parole or supervision status
• Scheduled hearings (parole, judicial review, etc.)

The database updates regularly, but new transfers to London CI may take 24 to 48 hours to reflect. If you know the person was recently moved, wait a day or two before assuming something is wrong.

Search Tips

Use the full legal name exactly as it appears on court documents. A nickname, shortened name, or name variant won’t return a result even if the person is in the system. If the last name is hyphenated or has a suffix (Jr., III), include it.

If a common last name returns multiple results, narrow by county of conviction or use the ODRC number if you have it. The ODRC number is a unique identifier assigned at intake and stays with the person across facility transfers.

Why the Search Might Come Back Empty

An empty result doesn’t necessarily mean the person isn’t at London CI. Common reasons include:

• Recent transfer: The move to London CI may not have processed yet. Allow 24 to 48 hours after a transfer before searching.
• Name mismatch: The system uses legal names only. If the name you searched differs from the legal name on file, the search won’t match.
• Recently booked: Newly sentenced inmates often spend weeks at a county jail or reception center before transferring to a permanent ODRC facility. They may not appear in the ODRC system yet.
• Released or transferred out: The person may have moved to a different facility or been released. Check whether supervision status shows instead of a facility.

If none of these explain the empty result, call London CI directly at (740) 852-2454 and ask staff to confirm current placement.
