Choose the route by the type of record or action involved. The jail can answer jail-record routing questions. The open-records office handles county Right-to-Know requests. The Clerk of Courts is the criminal filing office, and the District Attorney is the prosecutor's office for criminal cases.

  • For someone in Mercer County Jail, start with jail inmate records and the jail records extension.
  • For booking photos or mugshot access questions, review jail roster mugshots and expect public-record limits.
  • For charges after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and the Clerk of Courts route.
  • For a facility question, use the Mercer County Jail or State Correctional Institution Mercer pages linked in the footer.
  • For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections inmate and parolee locator.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the Bureau of Prisons locator or ICE detainee locator instead of the county jail.
