Mifflin County Facility Overview
Mifflin County's official correctional facility page identifies Mifflin County Correctional Facility as the county correctional facility, central booking center, and local detention site in Lewistown. The county describes the facility's work as detaining people as directed by the courts, maintaining safety for the public, staff, and prisoners, providing treatment services, and handling criminal fingerprinting and arraignment. It also handles Megan's Law processing and public fingerprinting.
The facility is governed through the county correctional facility and prison-board structure rather than a sheriff-operated jail page. The official county page names Warden Jason Kormanic, and the citizen complaint materials also list Deputy Warden Eric Gates. Mifflin County Correctional Facility holds local pretrial detainees, county-sentenced inmates, and people detained under court orders. It also has a regional role. Juniata County records state that its prison closed in 2012 and that Juniata prisoners are housed at MCCF, and county prison-board minutes show Huntingdon, Juniata, York, and U.S. Marshals Service detainees at different snapshots.
The official Mifflin County Correctional Facility page is shown here with the facility overview and quick links used for family information, inmate lookup, phone rules, PREA materials, and complaint forms.
Those county links matter because Mifflin County does not present a standard public jail roster in the way many larger counties do.
Mifflin County Jail Population
For capacity, the most conservative figure is the official state-reported number. PA DOC county facility and statistics workbooks report Mifflin County Correctional Facility at 169 beds. A May 2026 Lewistown Sentinel report gave a different capacity figure of 141, so the state workbook figure is the better number for formal facility-capacity context while the local-news discrepancy should be kept in mind.
Population reports show that Mifflin County Correctional Facility is not filled only by Mifflin County residents. The December 3, 2025 Mifflin County Prison Board minutes reported 124 people in house as of December 2, 2025, with 72 Mifflin County inmates and 52 out-of-county people. The agency rows included Huntingdon County, Juniata County, Mifflin County, and one U.S. Marshals Service detainee. April 2025 minutes reported 139 people in house and a 2024 average daily population of 135.
Look Up MCCF Inmates
Mifflin County's own inmate lookup page does not publish a county-hosted name search, booking table, mugshot gallery, release list, or individual inmate profile. It sends users to the Pennsylvania Unified Judicial System portal and VINELink. That means a current Mifflin County Correctional Facility inmate search is a channel sweep, not a single roster lookup.
- Call Mifflin County Correctional Facility at 717-248-1130 when the question is current physical custody at the jail.
- Use Pennsylvania VINELink for custody search and victim-notification functions where the person appears in a participating system.
- Search Pennsylvania UJS Case Search for the docket, OTN, charges, bail entries, hearings, and court events tied to the arrest.
- Use the PA DOC inmate locator only after a person moves to state prison or state supervision.
- Use the BOP inmate locator or ICE detainee locator for federal prison or immigration custody.
The official Mifflin County inmate lookup page is shown here with its outbound links to court and custody-notification systems instead of a local MCCF roster search form.
Use the court docket as a charges record, not as proof that the person is still in a bed at Mifflin County Correctional Facility.
MCCF Address and Contact
The main facility contact is the right starting point for current custody, visit-list questions, mail rules, and family-guide issues. The courthouse at 20 North Wayne Street is nearby and appears in many court, sheriff, and records contacts, but Mifflin County Correctional Facility itself is at the West Market Street jail address. That distinction matters when a person is trying to post after-hours bail, drop off a permitted form, or confirm where a visit is scheduled.

MCCF Visitation Schedule
Mifflin County Correctional Facility visits are controlled by the family guide and facility rules. The inmate selects approved visitors during booking, and visitors must appear with photo ID and verify that they are on the approved list. Visitors must arrive five minutes before the scheduled time, pass search and metal-detector screening, and follow dress and conduct rules. Electronic devices are not allowed in the visit booth, and visits may be monitored or recorded except attorney visits.
| Visit Type / Schedule | Details | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Main facility visits | Tuesday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. | In-person or facility-approved visit |
| Saturday visits | Saturday, 8:15 a.m.-4 p.m. | In-person or facility-approved visit |
| Overflow / special visits | Weekdays, 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m. | Special scheduling |
| RHU visits | Friday only, one half-hour visit per week | Restricted housing |
| Holidays | Closed major holidays | No routine visit |
Most inmates generally receive one one-hour visit per week plus one religious visit, though actual visit time can be shorter because of changeover. Children and adult visitors are subject to age, supervision, booth-capacity, and conduct limits.
MCCF Mail Phone Money
Mail for Mifflin County Correctional Facility is strict because ordinary letters are scanned to tablets. The family guide says incoming mail is opened, checked for contraband, logged, scanned, and delivered digitally. Mail that cannot be scanned is disapproved. Ordinary mail is destroyed after 30 days, while photos are stored in inmate property in the original envelope. All letters must move through U.S. Mail, and no Sunday mail is processed.

ConnectNetwork's Mifflin County PA-Prison page also lists Site ID 210 and AdvancePay Phone service for the facility.
Phone and deposit vendors are account systems, not custody rosters, so confirm the person is still held at MCCF before sending funds.
MCCF Booking and Intake
Mifflin County Correctional Facility is the central booking center for criminal fingerprinting and arraignment. Local magisterial district judge coverage materials say arrested people who need preliminary arraignment are taken to MCCF for booking. Weekday overnight detention is handled on a defined timeline: between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m., a person may be temporarily detained at MCCF, the MDJ is advised at 8 a.m., and the person is made available by video site by 8:30 a.m. if directed.
On weekends and holidays, the person is taken to MCCF for booking and temporarily detained pending arraignment. The MDJ is contacted at 8 a.m., 2:30 p.m., and 10:30 p.m., and overnight detainees are available by 8:30 a.m. the next morning. Intake can include identity processing, criminal fingerprinting, records creation, property handling, custody paperwork, medical or mental-health screening, and any required Megan's Law processing.
MCCF Bail and Release
For bail questions, the committing authority is usually the better source than the jail. The MCCF family guide says that during normal court business hours, families should contact the proper court authority, such as the Magisterial District Court or Prothonotary, that is holding the inmate in MCCF. The Prothonotary and Clerk of Courts page says Common Pleas bail paperwork is processed during weekday posting hours, with after-hours bail posted at Mifflin County Correctional Facility.
After hours, MCCF may accept money-order bail if a known amount is recorded on the court documents that are detaining the person. Photo identification should be available for the person posting bail. A release still may not be immediate after bail or a court order because the facility must finish paperwork, confirm there is no separate hold, and process the person as soon as practical.
MCCF Local Details
Mifflin County Correctional Facility is downtown in Lewistown, close to the county courthouse. Official directions place the jail after the turn onto W. Market Street from Business Route US-22, at the end of the second block on the left. The researched official pages do not publish a visitor parking lot, bus route, parking fee, or ADA entrance detail, so visitors should verify parking and accessible entry with the facility before arrival.
The facility also has a practical regional role. Juniata County officially says its prison closed July 25, 2012 and its prisoners are housed at MCCF. December 2025 Mifflin County minutes also mention housing contracts with Centre and Clinton County correctional facilities if Mifflin County needs out-of-county placement. Those arrangements mean the facility population can include people whose cases or home counties do not match the jail's Lewistown address.
MCCF Programs and Conditions
The county correctional facility page says detainees and sentenced inmates have numerous programs while housed at MCCF. Prison-board minutes add recent operating context. December 2025 minutes reported no major incidents, booking had no issues, treatment services were running, medical staff would begin pre-screening new commitments when a nurse is available, and medical coverage would extend by one-half hour beginning January 1, 2026.
Mental-health detail is especially specific for a county facility page. March 2024 commissioner minutes approved a telemental-health service expansion and reported 41 inmates on the psych list, 13 on a waitlist, and roughly one-third of the population needing services, closer to half when refusals and known needs were included. MCCF also states a zero-tolerance PREA policy for institutional sexual harassment, assault, or abuse, and reports may be mailed to the PREA Coordinator at the facility address.
Note: Confirm custody, visit approval, and current schedule rules with MCCF before traveling to Lewistown or sending money.
