Corrections Center Overview
Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio, usually called CCNO, is the primary jail serving Fulton County. It is a regional full-service jail operated by the Corrections Commission of Northwest Ohio. The facility is in Stryker in Williams County, not in the Fulton County seat of Wauseon. Official research found no separate Fulton County sheriff-operated jail building for the public jail population.
CCNO serves Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Lucas, and Williams counties. It also has contracts with the U.S. Marshals Service and Findlay Municipal Court. The jail's regional role means a Fulton County inmate can appear in the same roster as people from other counties or federal holdover custody. A Fulton County search should use the arresting agency, court, case number, charge, and booking number when the name alone is not enough.
The CCNO home page screenshot shows the regional jail, contact information, and member-jurisdiction context.
That regional model is the key reason Fulton County jail searches route to CCNO rather than to a county jail in Wauseon.
Corrections Center Population
CCNO's 2025 official figures show a busy regional jail operating near full funded capacity. The facility statistics page lists 576 funded beds, an average population of 560, average male population of 473, average female population of 87, and 97.2 percent of capacity. It also lists 4,602 bookings, 4,520 releases, and average length of stay of 35.74 days. The population table lists Fulton County's 2025 average at 26 and 2024 average at 29.

Use the Fulton County line only when the source table specifically breaks the regional count down by jurisdiction.
Look Up CCNO Inmates
The correct lookup tool for CCNO is the Active Offenders PDF. The page begins with a disclaimer that the jail information can change quickly, may contain errors, and should not be used for legal action without verification. For new arrests, the Booking Report page links previous-day and previous-seven-day booking PDFs.
- Open the CCNO inmate search page and review the disclaimer.
- Download or open the Active Offenders PDF.
- Use PDF find for the person's name, booking number, court, case number, agency, or charge.
- Compare court, status, in date, and estimated out date fields before acting.
- Call CCNO at 419-428-3800 if the record must be current.
For sentenced Ohio prison custody after a Fulton County felony case, use the ODRC Offender Search instead of the CCNO roster. Federal sentenced prisoners use BOP, and immigration detainees use ICE ODLS.
Corrections Center Contact
CCNO is the facility to call for jail custody information, but calls and emails are business-use channels and are not forwarded to inmates. The Fulton County Sheriff's Office remains the local law-enforcement office for sheriff arrest or offense records. For court charges after booking, use the Clerk of Courts or district court that appears on the roster.

Booking at Corrections Center
CCNO's First 48 Hours page describes a detailed booking process. The booking department receives inmates, inventories property, receipts inmate money, gathers identity and contact information, applies a wristband, and screens all inmates through a body scanner. Booking also includes medical and suicide screening, photographs, fingerprints, an inmate handbook, showers, clothing exchange, bedding, linen, and a hygiene packet. DNA swabbing may occur depending on the charge.
Newly arrested inmates appear before a judge on the next regular scheduled court day, usually by video arraignment. The arraignment reviews bond, counsel, and the next court date. Classification evaluates mental and emotional stability, escape history, assaultive behavior, mental status, age, and separation needs. CCNO says classification normally occurs within 24 hours and no later than five days, excluding weekends and holidays.

Those steps explain why jail records can exist before a Fulton County court record is fully posted online.
Visiting Corrections Center
CCNO visitation rules apply to Fulton County inmates housed at the regional jail. During visitation, an inmate may visit with a maximum of two adults and three children. Children 17 or younger must be with a legal or custodial parent or guardian and cannot be left alone in the lobby or parking lot. Visitors who leave the lobby or visitation room cannot resume the visit.
| Topic | Rule |
|---|---|
| Identification | Adult visitors should bring valid identification. |
| Screening | Metal detector, hand-held detector, frisk search, or strip observation search may apply. |
| Warrant checks | All adult visitors receive a warrant background check. |
| No-contact orders | A no-contact order or temporary restraining order bars the visit. |
| Attorneys | Attorneys need valid driver's license; family-member visits follow regular rules unless representation is shown. |

Call before traveling if a visit depends on accessibility, parking, weather, or a specific entry procedure.
Phones Money Commissary
CCNO uses GettingOut and ConnectNetwork services for messages, visits, phones, and payments. The jail does not transfer phone calls or emails to inmates through the receptionist. Inmates make collect or account-based calls from living areas. Calls are limited to 15 minutes, and three-way calls are forbidden with a $25 service fee and possible discipline.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Messages and visits | GettingOut account process. |
| Phone | ConnectNetwork account or collect call system. |
| Call length | 15 minutes, with a warning at 14 minutes. |
| Commissary orders | Unit schedule through tablets or paper forms. |
| Weekly spending limit | $100, or $110 for inmate workers. |
| Deposits | Online or phone service; CCNO does not accept inmate funds by mail or reception. |

Confirm the person is still housed at CCNO before sending funds because release or ODRC transfer can change the account path.
Programs and Medical Care
CCNO provides classification, work release, electronic monitoring, GPS, TAD alcohol monitoring, education, treatment, volunteer and religious services, medical care, mental-health care, and court transportation. VitalCore provides medical services, and medical staff are on duty 24 hours. Initial booking medical screening, life-threatening emergencies, ordered follow-ups, in-house mental-health services, and drug or alcohol programs have no charge.
- Work release
- Court-approved program allowing employment while serving nonworking time at CCNO.
- Electronic monitoring
- Court-ordered home or community supervision by device.
- Classification
- Jail review used for safety, housing, and separation needs.
- ODRC transfer
- Movement from jail to state prison after a qualifying sentence.
Prison Transfers from CCNO
Fulton County defendants sentenced to prison leave the jail roster and move into the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction system. CCNO's Prison Transfers page says its transportation department transports inmates sentenced to prison from common pleas courts in Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Lucas, and Williams counties. Most male inmates go to Correctional Reception Center in Orient for processing. Female inmates are transported to Ohio Reformatory for Women in Marysville.
CCNO does not transport property or money to ODRC. Prison-sentenced inmates should release money and property before departure. Unclaimed property after transport is held in the property room, and medication not picked up within 30 days is destroyed by medical leadership.
Note: Use ODRC, not the CCNO roster, after a Fulton County inmate has been received into Ohio prison custody.
Corrections Center Records
CCNO says it promptly prepares and maintains inmate records under Ohio Rev. Code 149.43. Inmate records are public records except for categories protected by privacy laws or specific exemptions. Confidential categories include medical records, confidential law-enforcement investigatory records, protected source or witness details, confidential techniques or work product, safety-risk information, records prohibited by law, and Social Security numbers.
A records request should be specific. Include the person's name, booking number if known, booking date, arresting agency, case number, and the exact record sought. If the requested record is a Fulton County sheriff offense report, use the sheriff's office. If it is a formal court record, use CaseLook, the Clerk of Courts, or the issuing court.
