Delaware County jail inmate search

You can check custody status for the George W. Hill Correctional Facility through VINELink. Delaware County runs the facility, which is also known as the Delaware County Prison. If an arrest just happened, the entry might not appear online yet, so call 610-361-3200 to ask staff directly.

All county detainees go to the George W. Hill Correctional Facility, the single jail location in the county. A new arrest may not show on VINELink right away. Call the About Delaware County Prison main line at 610-361-3200 to check on someone who was just brought in.

Reach the main jail line by calling 610-361-3200, listed on About Delaware County Prison. Use that number for general custody questions and recent bookings.

For inclement weather visitation information, call 610-361-3343, listed on Delaware County Prison Visitation. That second line only reports whether bad weather has changed visiting hours.

The George W. Hill Correctional Facility is at 500 Cheyney Road, Thornton, PA 19373, per About Delaware County Prison. The Delaware County Court Jail Roster notes that this building is the main jail and the county's only location. Drivers picking up released detainees use the front parking lot on Cheyney Road.

A sheriff's office doesn't run the county jail or its custody lookup. Instead, Delaware County Prison operates the George W. Hill Correctional Facility as a county department. To find someone held there, use VINELink rather than a sheriff's website.

Before you visit, the detained person must give a visitor list to their Case Manager for approval. Once approved, register on Delaware County Prison Visitation through GTL ViaPath. Wait for your confirmation email, then log in to pick a time slot.

• Visits in person run on weekdays from 8:45 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., based on housing assignment.
• Video visits run on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 9:55 p.m., booked 2 to 7 days ahead.
• Each person gets 1 visit per week, video or in person, with up to 3 visitors.

Call 610-361-3343 for inclement weather visiting updates.

A bail bond is money or a written pledge that guarantees a detained person will return to court. Under Delaware County Bail and Releases rules, you have 2 ways to pay:

• Pay in person at the facility between 8:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. if no holds exist. Contact the Director of Records first, and bring cash and identification.
• Pay online through the PA UJS court portal, then give your confirmation number to the Director of Records.

Pennsylvania also allows unsecured bonds or Release on Recognizance, which is a promise to appear without paying money. You can also hire a bail bondsman registered with the county clerk. Read how to bail someone out of jail or view the Pennsylvania inmate search hub.

Once release paperwork is finished, you can pick the person up in the front parking lot on Cheyney Road. Per Delaware County Bail and Releases, the facility provides SEPTA bus fare for a single trip with a transfer. Call 610-361-3200 to ask about a pending release.
