Westmoreland County Inmate Roster Lookup

Westmoreland County Jail Roster Overview

The official adult custody roster is the Westmoreland County Prison inmate search, a county-hosted form connected to the current-inmates table. The public form is free, does not require a login, and lets a user search by category instead of opening a modern profile-card database. The inspected roster is labeled for prison inmates and should be treated as a current-custody index, not a historical booking archive.

The official roster does not publish its refresh frequency or a release-retention window. If a person should be in custody but is missing online, call Westmoreland County Prison at 724-830-6000 instead of assuming release. The adult roster also does not cover juveniles at the Westmoreland County Regional Youth Services Center, sentenced state prisoners in Pennsylvania Department of Corrections custody, federal prisoners, or immigration detainees.

The official Westmoreland County Prison inmate-search form shows the search category dropdown, criteria field, submit button, clear button, and date picker used for roster queries.

That form structure matters because a commitment-date search needs a valid date format, while an all-inmates search does not use the criteria field in the same way.

How to Use the Westmoreland County Inmate Roster

Start with the official form when the goal is to find a current adult inmate at Westmoreland County Prison. Use the person's exact last name if known, then compare DOB, booking number, commitment date, and unit to separate people with similar names. The booking number is a prison custody identifier and should not be confused with a UJS docket number or offense tracking number.

1. Open the county inmate-search form and choose a search category.
2. Use Last Name for the broadest name search, especially when only a surname is known.
3. Use Commit Date m/d/yyyy only when the date of prison commitment is known; it may differ from arrest date or offense date.
4. Use Booking Number when the number-year identifier is already known from a roster row, jail call, or prior lookup.
5. Use Unit only to confirm or narrow a known housing unit letter.
6. Use All Inmates to browse the active table, then sort or scan by name, DOB, booking number, commitment date, or unit.
7. Use the row-level VINE/SAVIN link for custody notifications instead of relying on repeated manual roster checks.

Westmoreland County Roster Search Fields

The search form uses one category dropdown and one criteria box. The same text box changes meaning depending on the selected category, so a date, booking number, last name, or unit letter must match the category chosen before submission.

What a Westmoreland County Inmate Profile Shows

The current roster is a table, not a click-through profile system. It shows enough to confirm a person's current listing and register for custody notification, but it does not show charges, bond, mugshots, court dates, arresting agency, physical descriptors, address, medical information, classification notes, or detailed housing information.

The official all-inmates roster displays the current table with name, DOB, booking number, commitment date, unit, and VINE link.

The table is useful for immediate custody verification, but a reader looking for the reason for custody needs the court docket or agency records described below.

Finding County, State, and Federal Inmates

Westmoreland County Prison is the local adult facility for pretrial detainees, county sentences, court commitments, warrants, and holds. After a state sentence or transfer, the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections locator becomes the better source. Federal sentenced custody belongs in the BOP locator, and immigration detention belongs in ICE ODLS. VINELink/SAVIN can help with notification, but it does not replace the official custody locator for each system.

The Pennsylvania DOC locator is the matching statewide source for sentenced state custody and supervision records.

County booking numbers do not carry into DOC as DOC identifiers, so names, docket information, and sentence status may be needed when a person has moved from the county prison to state custody.

Westmoreland County Jail Facilities

Westmoreland County has two local detention-related facilities in the facility map, but only one is the adult public roster facility. Westmoreland County Prison handles adult county custody. Westmoreland County Regional Youth Services Center is a juvenile detention and shelter operation, and youth placements are not published through the adult inmate roster.

Booking Process in Westmoreland County

A Westmoreland County arrest can create several records at different times. The jail record starts when the person is committed to Westmoreland County Prison. The court record develops through the magisterial district court and, when applicable, the Court of Common Pleas. Criminal-history information is handled through Pennsylvania State Police systems, not through the county jail roster.

1. Arrest, surrender, warrant pickup, or another lawful custody event occurs.
2. The person is transported for processing and early court action.
3. A preliminary arraignment or bail decision addresses charges, release conditions, and next events.
4. The person is committed to Westmoreland County Prison if not released, unable to post bail, held on a detainer, or ordered into custody.
5. Prison intake creates the custody record, verifies identity, handles property, and assigns classification or unit information.
6. The roster updates when the county system posts the current listing.
7. UJS dockets develop as charges, bail entries, events, orders, and dispositions are entered by the courts.

The roster commitment date should be read carefully. It can differ from offense date, arrest date, complaint date, or docket filing date, especially when a person is arrested late at night, held elsewhere first, or committed on a warrant.

Visitation Hours and Rules

Westmoreland County Prison links separate service pages for visitation policy, online inmate visitation, deposits, tablets, public information, and Pennsylvania SAVIN. The exact in-person schedule remains controlled by the current visitation policy and prison alerts. Online video visitation is documented through GTL VisMobile, requires advance scheduling, facility approval, an email address, valid photo ID, and check-in before the visit.

The official online inmate visitation page shows the GTL VisMobile registration and scheduling requirements.

Because prices and scheduling availability are subject to change, use the official scheduling process and call the prison before travel when approval status or hours are uncertain.

How to Contact a Westmoreland County Inmate

Use the roster first to confirm the person is currently committed, then use the full name and booking number exactly as displayed. Official source material did not provide a verified mail-address format, so do not guess at envelopes, money orders, books, or packages. Use the prison's current mail instructions or call 724-830-6000 before sending anything that could be rejected.

Tablet and communication services are handled through the official inmate tablet system page, while custody notification is handled through the row-level VINE/SAVIN link or Pennsylvania VINELink. The county Pennsylvania SAVIN page explains the local custody-notification path.

Notification registration is a separate step from searching the roster and is the better channel for release or transfer alerts.

Commissary, Inmate Funds, and Records Requests

The official deposit page is the source for current inmate account methods and fees. County source material did not provide commissary-specific limits, so those should be confirmed through the county page before money is sent. For booking-record details that are not published in the roster, use the Westmoreland County Prison public-information policy and Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law channels. Charges, bail, docket numbers, and dispositions belong in UJS and Clerk of Courts records, not the custody table.

The official deposits to inmate accounts page is the current county source for account deposit instructions.

Confirm custody before sending funds because a release, transfer, detainer, or state-prison movement can change the correct payment or contact channel.
