How to Find Adams County Inmates

The portal is free to search and available around the clock. Search by the person's last name and first name, and filter by Adams County to narrow your results.

Adams County Jail Visitation Rules

Visitation at the Adams County Adult Correctional Complex follows rules set by the facility. Contact the jail at 717-334-7671 to get the current visitation schedule before you go. Schedules can change without notice, and showing up without confirming the schedule may mean a wasted trip.

All visitors must bring valid photo identification. Only people who have been pre-approved by the inmate are allowed to visit. The facility processes visitor approvals after an inmate has been committed. Plan ahead, as approvals can take several days. Children visiting the facility must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at all times. The jail staff may deny entry to anyone not on the approved list or without proper ID.

Contraband of any kind is strictly prohibited. Visitors are subject to search before entering the facility. Bringing prohibited items into a jail is a criminal offense under Pennsylvania law. Contact the ACACC directly for dress code requirements, visit length, and any changes to procedures.
