Court Street Jail Custody Lookup

Court Street Jail Overview

Court Street Jail is operated by the Butler County Sheriff's Office. The facility map places it at 123 Court Street, Hamilton, OH 45011. The sheriff's jail facilities page describes Court Street Jail as currently housing overflow inmates from the main jail facility and says the building currently houses the sheriff's property / evidence operation. It is one of three Corrections Division facilities in Hamilton, along with the Butler County Corrections Center and Resolutions Jail.

Court Street's overflow role should be kept distinct from the main booking and release function at the Corrections Center. The sheriff states that all prisoner bookings and releases are conducted at 705 Hanover Street. Court Street belongs in the facility list because it is an active sheriff jail building, but the research did not locate a separate Court Street roster, standalone capacity, public visitor desk, or separate mail rule.

The property / evidence operation should also be handled carefully. A person should not assume that inmate property can be retrieved at Court Street just because the building houses the property and evidence operation. The jail services material says inmate property is inventoried at admission and returned at release, while certain low balances or loose change may be handled through the property process. Property questions should be confirmed with the jail before anyone travels to Court Street.

Court Street Jail Capacity and Population

No separate roster count or capacity was located for Court Street Jail in the official sources reviewed. The public count available through Miami Valley Jails is the Butler County provider count, not a building-by-building breakdown. On June 24, 2026 at 10:16 a.m., the provider row showed 1,080 persons currently in custody for BUTL-JAIL / Butler County Jail. The official main Corrections Center capacity is 848, but that number should not be presented as the capacity of Court Street Jail.

For public-facing custody work, route the reader to the Butler County roster and Jail / Corrections line. If the person is no longer in current custody, Central Records can be the fallback for reports or booking-related records not shown online. If the person moved to state prison after sentencing, the ODRC search is the correct system instead of the county roster.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Court Street Jail

The correct first search is the Miami Valley Jails Butler County current-custody roster. The roster is for persons currently held in Butler County jail facilities and is linked from the sheriff's Look Up Inmate page. Court Street Jail does not have a separate official public roster in the research sources located.

1. Open the Butler County roster and verify the provider is BUTL-JAIL / Butler County Jail.
2. Use the Search by Last Name alphabet links or other controls available after the security check.
3. Complete the human verification. The roster page warns that automated programs do not have permission to access it.
4. Review the person's roster listing, if available, for current custody status and any facility or housing detail shown.
5. If the listing does not answer the Court Street question, call Jail / Corrections at 513-785-1345 and ask for current public custody information.

For older or released custody records, use the sheriff's public records request page, Central Records at 513-785-1030, mail to 705 Hanover Street, or recordsrequest@butlersheriff.org. For Common Pleas or appellate court records after an arrest, the Butler County Clerk e-services and records pages are separate from jail custody. For federal or immigration custody, BOP, ICE, USMS, counsel, or federal court sources may be needed.

Court Street Jail Address and Contact

The facility address is 123 Court Street in Hamilton. The official research did not locate a separate public Court Street Jail phone number. Butler County public jail questions should route through Jail / Corrections at 513-785-1345. Records requests route through Central Records when the question is about incident reports, offense reports, accident reports, or other public records rather than live custody.

Because Court Street includes a property / evidence role, it is especially important to call before going there. Inmate release property, evidence issues, court-related documents, and public-records pickups can involve different counters, different hours, and different authority than inmate visitation.

Visiting Someone at Court Street Jail

No separate Court Street visitation schedule was located. The general BCSO visitation rules apply unless jail staff provide a different instruction for a particular inmate. Visits are closed-circuit audio/video. Visitors must be approved and on the inmate's visitation list, must show photo identification, and must comply with security decisions. A visit may be denied if the visitor presents a security danger, appears under the influence, refuses proper identification, or if the inmate refuses the visit.

Each inmate generally receives one 30-minute visit on the designated day. Up to three people may be on the visitation list. Visitors under 18 do not have to be on the list, but they must be with an approved adult from the list. Because Court Street is an overflow building, call before arrival to confirm where the visit is held.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Court Street Jail

No separate Court Street mail or money-deposit rule was located. The published BCSO mail address uses the inmate's complete full name and Butler County Sheriff's Office, 705 Hanover Street, Hamilton, Ohio 45011. Confirm building-specific handling with Jail / Corrections before sending mail if staff have told you the inmate is housed at Court Street.

BCSO phone use is unavailable during meals from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Calls may be collect or paid with prepaid phone cards from commissary. Commissary is in-house and generally twice weekly, with holiday weeks reduced to once. Mail is opened and inspected for contraband, while legal mail is opened in the inmate's presence for contraband inspection only.

Booking and Intake at Court Street Jail

Court Street Jail should not be described as a separate public booking point. The sheriff says all prisoner bookings and releases are conducted at the Butler County Corrections Center. During intake, Butler County uses objective jail classification, including prior incarceration, behavior, medical and mental health condition, current charges, and predatory risk factors. Classification can affect custody level, uniform color, armbands, housing, and movement.

For the public, the practical result is that arrest location, court location, and housing building may be different. A person arrested in one city can be booked at Hanover Street, appear in a municipal or county court, and be housed in an overflow building if the jail assigns them there. Always verify through the roster or Jail / Corrections before relying on a building name.

About Court Street Jail

Court Street Jail is part of the older central Hamilton justice geography. Butler County criminal-justice routing often involves Hanover Street for jail intake, Court Street for overflow and property/evidence functions, 315 High Street for Common Pleas and prosecutor offices, and separate area or municipal courts for lower-level cases. That local routing is one reason a Court Street search can become confusing: the building name can refer to housing, property/evidence, or nearby court-related activity, but current custody remains tied to the county jail roster.

The sheriff's jail services material also provides broader context for anyone dealing with Court Street housing. Inmates have access to medical screening, hygiene, recreation when eligible, phone service, commissary, and the grievance/discipline structure documented by the sheriff. Those services are BCSO jail services, not Court Street-specific services in the public material located.
