Bedford Municipal Court, Ohio Inmate Search
Although the Bedford Municipal Court handles records of civil and criminal cases as well as court filings, it does not track jail rosters. Instead, residents of towns under its jurisdiction, such as the City of Solon, use inmate searches to determine whether an individual is currently in law enforcement custody. In many cases, inmate searches also enable people to find basic information about an inmate’s identification, underlying offense, incarceration, and release conditions.
The Solon Detention Facility, established by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections, is the city’s primary adult jail facility, housing pre-sentenced and sentenced individuals. This facility does not operate an independent inmate search tool. To obtain information about incarcerated individuals, a person would have to contact the facility by phone at (440) 349-3691 or in person at 33000 Solon Road, Solon, OH 44139.
How to Find an Inmate in Solon Jail
The Solon Detention Facility does not maintain an online jail roster. Notwithstanding, interested persons can call the jail administrator to inquire if a person is in custody. For arrested Solon City residents in custody of the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office, jail rosters are available on the Cuyahoga County Sheriff app. For an in-person search, an inquirer may contact the sheriff’s office at:
