Williams County Inmate Population at CCNO
Williams County adult detention is handled through the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio, usually called CCNO. The regional jail is in Stryker and is operated by the Corrections Commission of Northwest Ohio for Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Lucas, and Williams counties. That structure matters because the Williams County inmate population is not counted in a separate Williams County Jail roster. It is part of one shared CCNO population that also includes U.S. Marshals prisoners, Findlay Municipal Court allocation inmates, and ICE detainees under the 2025 federal contract.
The county's local share is still visible in CCNO's own population tables. The CCNO population statistics list Williams County average daily population by month and by gender. The 2025 facility statistics list the whole regional jail's average population, bookings, releases, length of stay, funded beds, electronic monitoring, and work release or HITT population. Read together, those sources show both the Williams County inmate population and the broader jail pressure around it.
Williams County Inmate Population Statistics
The most useful published numbers separate Williams County's local daily average from the overall regional jail count. CCNO Facility Statistics 2025 reported an average population of 560 for the full facility, 576 funded beds, and 97.2 percent of funded-bed capacity. The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction's 2025 annual inspection report listed 688 actual general housing capacity, which is a different measure than funded operating beds. For Williams County itself, CCNO's 2025 population table reported an average daily population of 46.

The rate is a research calculation, not an official county-published rate. It uses the Ohio Secretary of State roster population figure for Williams County and the 2025 CCNO average daily population for Williams County.
Williams County Inmate Population Trends
The Williams County inmate population was nearly flat across the two published years reviewed. CCNO reported a Williams County average daily population of 45 in 2024 and 46 in 2025. Monthly totals moved more than the annual average suggests. The 2025 Williams County count reached 52 in June, dropped to 38 in September and 35 in October, then returned to the mid-40s by the end of the year.
| Year | Williams County ADP | Monthly Detail |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 45 | Monthly totals ranged from 36 in December to 51 in January and July. |
| 2025 | 46 | Monthly totals ranged from 35 in October to 52 in June. |
Federal custody changed more sharply at the same regional jail. CCNO's federal category rose from a 204 average in 2024 to 251 in 2025, while Williams County's own count stayed stable. That helps explain how CCNO could operate close to funded capacity even without a large Williams County increase. Local readers should avoid treating every CCNO inmate as a Williams County inmate.
Williams County Jail Population Makeup
CCNO's public statistics identify Williams County male and female averages, but they do not publish a Williams County-only race, age-band, felony, misdemeanor, or pretrial split in the web tables reviewed. In 2025, the Williams County average was 39 male inmates and 7 female inmates. In 2024, the county average was 36 male inmates and 8 female inmates. The overall CCNO facility reported 473 average male population and 87 average female population in 2025.
- Local county custody: Williams County cases appear in the shared CCNO active-offender report with court fields such as Williams County Common Pleas and Bryan Municipal Court.
- Sentenced prison path: felony prisoners sentenced to ODRC usually leave CCNO after reception routing begins.
- Federal custody: U.S. Marshals and federal court rows may appear in CCNO if the person is physically housed there.
- Immigration custody: ICE detainees at CCNO may require both CCNO checks and the ICE locator.
Note: Individual roster records can show age, race code, gender, court, status, and charge text, but that is not the same as a published county demographic report.
Williams County Jail Capacity
Capacity needs careful wording for CCNO. The home page lists Williams County's allocation as 55 beds. CCNO Facility Statistics 2025 lists 576 funded beds for the whole regional facility. The state jail inspection report lists 688 actual general housing capacity. Those numbers answer different questions. Allocation describes the county's cost-share bed planning. Funded beds describe the operating count used by CCNO statistics. Actual general housing capacity describes the physical capacity documented for inspection.
Using funded beds, the facility operated at 97.2 percent of capacity in 2025. Using the inspection capacity, the same 560 average population is about 81.4 percent of actual general housing capacity. Neither figure says the Williams County inmate population alone filled the jail. The regional model means Williams County, other member counties, federal prisoners, and ICE detainees all share the same building and services.
Williams County Inmate Population Laws
Ohio public-records and jail-standard rules explain why some Williams County inmate population information is public and why other details are withheld. The roster is public-facing, but medical files, confidential investigatory records, Social Security numbers, full birth dates, and safety-sensitive information are not treated like ordinary roster fields. CCNO also warns that inmate data changes quickly and should not be used for legal action without verification.
Key Ohio rules:
ORC 149.43 is Ohio's Public Records Act and supports inspection or copying of public records unless an exemption applies.
ORC Chapter 341 governs county jails and jail custody, with care needed because CCNO is operated through a regional commission.
ORC 341.21 allows county jails to receive federal or state prisoners under proper authority, relevant to contract custody.
OAC Chapter 5120:1-8 sets minimum standards for full-service Ohio jails, including reception, housing, security, health, and operations.
ORC 2927.22 defines booking photographs and criminal record information for Ohio's commercial mugshot removal framework.
Search the Williams County Inmate Population
Current Williams County inmate lookup starts at the CCNO inmate search disclaimer gateway. It is not a normal search box. After the disclaimer, the Active Offenders link downloads a roster-style PDF for the current active-offender population. The PDF inspected in research was alphabetical, so the practical method is to open the file and use browser or PDF find.
- Open the CCNO inmate search page and read the disclaimer.
- Use the Active Offenders link to download or open the current PDF roster.
- Search inside the PDF by last name, first name, booking number, case number, court, status, or charge words.
- Check the court field for Williams County Common Pleas, Bryan Municipal Court, or another Williams-linked court.
- Call CCNO if the person was just arrested, the name is misspelled, or a federal or ICE hold may be involved.
| Field or Channel | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Disclaimer agreement | Acknowledgement | Yes for PDF access | Required before the Active Offenders link is presented. |
| Active Offenders | PDF link | Yes online | Downloads the current active-offender population report. |
| PDF find | Browser/PDF search | No, but useful | Search by name, booking number, case, court, charge, or status. |
| Phone fallback | Telephone | No | CCNO states inmate information may still be obtained by calling 419-428-3800. |
Williams County Jail Roster Records
The active-offender PDF shows a custody snapshot, not a full booking packet. A typical public roster entry includes name, booking number, age, race code, gender, height, weight, case number, charge, court, status, in date, and sometimes estimated out date. It does not show mugshots, bond amounts, housing unit, full date of birth, address, Social Security number, medical information, or an arrest narrative.
The CCNO booking report is a separate recent-booking channel. It links to prior-day and prior-seven-day booking reports. CCNO warns that booking reports reflect bookings only and points users to the inmate search function for updated charge information. A person can be booked and later have charges amended, dismissed, indicted, transferred, or held for another authority.
The CCNO inmate search gateway shows how the official roster is reached.
The image reinforces a key lookup point: Williams County roster search begins with a disclaimer and a PDF download, not a typed search form.
Past Williams County Inmate Records
Released or older Williams County inmate records may not remain in the active-offender PDF. Start with the CCNO booking reports for recent intake, then move to public-records requests when the online report no longer answers the question. CCNO accepts public-records requests by email, mail, in person, and phone. Its public-records page lists office hours Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and gives a copy fee of $0.25 for 8.5 by 11 single-sided public records.
For sheriff-created arrest or incident records, the Williams County Sheriff's Office public-records policy is a separate channel. The sheriff's policy lists records access from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on weekdays except county-adopted holidays, and accepts email requests at wcso@bright.net. Formal charges and case outcomes belong with the court, not the jail roster.
County Jail vs State Prison
Williams County inmate search often fails when the person has moved from county custody to state or federal custody. CCNO covers adult pretrial detainees, local sentences, some federal pretrial or contract custody, and ICE detainees housed there. The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction offender search covers sentenced prison custody, APA supervision, released records, judicial release, and violators at large.
| Custody Type | Primary Lookup | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Williams County pretrial or local sentence | CCNO active-offender PDF | Current jail custody and charge/status rows. |
| Recent booking | CCNO booking reports | Previous-day and seven-day booking intake reports. |
| Sentenced Ohio prison | ODRC offender search | Prison, supervision, release, and county of commitment. |
| Federal sentenced prisoner | BOP inmate locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration detainee | ICE detainee locator | ICE custody and CBP custody after more than 48 hours. |
Williams County Detention Facility
The adult facility map for Williams County has one adult detention facility: CCNO. The Northwest Ohio Juvenile Detention, Training and Rehabilitation Center is also in Stryker and serves Williams County youth, but it is a juvenile facility and not an adult inmate-population source. Adult arrestees from Bryan, Montpelier, Edgerton, Edon, Pioneer, Stryker, West Unity, and sheriff patrol routes generally move through CCNO for detention.
