Find Dublin Inmate Population

Franklin County Jail and Dublin Inmates
Dublin does not have its own jail. Arrests flow into the Franklin County system. The Franklin County Sheriff's Office runs two correctional facilities. Franklin County Corrections Center I (FCCC I) is at 370 South Front Street in Columbus. It holds up to 650 male inmates and handles all initial bookings. Franklin County Corrections Center II (FCCC II) sits at 2460 Jackson Pike with room for about 1,600 men and women.
Both facilities are covered by one online inmate search. You do not need to check each one on its own. The Franklin County Inmate Search shows full name, booking number, state ID, physical details, charges, bond amount, housing location, and court dates. Results update as new bookings come in. When Dublin police arrest someone, the booking shows up in this system once processing is done at FCCC I.
Under ORC Section 341.01, the county sheriff has full charge of the jail. Dublin is one of many cities that feed into the Franklin County system. Columbus, Westerville, Gahanna, and Upper Arlington all use the same jail. The Dublin inmate population is mixed in with inmates from across the county, so name searches are the best way to find a specific person.
