Quick Facts
1 Delaware County's official George W. Hill page sends families to VineLink at vinelink.com instead of publishing a county roster, and a VineLink search asks you to pick Pennsylvania and then Delaware County.
2 Delaware County took over running the facility from the GEO Group on April 6, 2022, so older pages that describe it as a private prison are out of date. The number that reaches it now is the county's, (610) 361-3200.
3 George W. Hill is Delaware County's only jail. It holds people awaiting trial and people serving short county sentences, so a state sentence sends someone to a Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (PA DOC) prison and off the county's records.
Why Someone Might Not Show Up
VineLink is a notification service that many counties feed into, so what you see depends on Delaware County’s data reaching it, and a booking from the past few hours may not have made that trip yet. Searching the wrong state or county in VineLink’s menus returns nothing too, which reads like an empty result when it isn’t one. Beyond the tool itself: the person may have posted bail, which happens often at a jail holding this many pretrial defendants, or been sentenced and moved into PA DOC custody, or been booked under a middle name, a hyphenated last name, or a spelling you didn’t try.
If You Can’t Find Them
Call George W. Hill at (610) 361-3200 and ask for booking or records, with the full legal name and date of birth in hand. If you know which police department made the arrest, they can usually say where the person was taken, which settles whether Delaware County is even the right place to be calling. VineLink also lets you register for automatic alerts on a release or transfer, so you aren’t rechecking by hand every day. If staff confirm a transfer into state custody, ask which prison, then pick the person back up in PA DOC’s statewide locator.

Q
Can VineLink tell me the bail amount or the next court date?

Q
Can PA DOC's inmate locator find someone at George W. Hill?
No. The PA DOC locator covers state prisons and parolees, and George W. Hill is a Delaware County jail. If the person was sentenced to state time, ask staff at (610) 361-3200 which prison received them, then search the PA DOC locator.

Q
Will VineLink tell me when he's released?
It can, if you register for notifications on that person instead of doing one-time searches. Alerts can lag behind the actual release, though, so confirm with George W. Hill at (610) 361-3200 before you drive out to pick someone up.
