Resolutions Jail Overview
Resolutions Jail is operated by the Butler County Sheriff's Office and is listed by the sheriff as one of three Corrections Division jail facilities in Hamilton. The official address is 442 S. Second Street, Hamilton, OH 45011. The jail facilities page describes Resolutions as currently housing overflow inmates from the main jail facility and having several administrative offices. That wording matters. It supports a facility page for Resolutions, but it does not create a separate public inmate-search system, separate booking counter, or separately published bed count.
The primary county jail remains the Butler County Corrections Center at 705 Hanover Street. The sheriff says all prisoner bookings and releases are conducted at the Corrections Center. Resolutions should therefore be understood as a housing and administrative location inside the broader Butler County jail operation. A person may be associated with the Resolutions building while still appearing to the public under the single Butler County provider on the Miami Valley Jails roster.
No official source located during research published a separate capacity for Resolutions Jail. No separate roster, security level, mail address, money-deposit vendor, or dedicated public phone line was located either. Public questions should route through Butler County Jail / Corrections at 513-785-1345 unless sheriff staff provide a more specific instruction for a particular inmate or visit.

Resolutions Jail Capacity and Population
No separate official roster count or bed capacity was located for Resolutions Jail. The sheriff describes the building as overflow housing from the main jail. The available published number for the main Butler County Corrections Center is 848 inmates, while the Miami Valley Jails provider table showed a Butler County current-custody provider count of 1,080 on June 24, 2026 at 10:16 a.m. That provider count is for BUTL-JAIL / Butler County Jail, not a Resolutions-only count.
For overflow facilities, the safest public wording is that no separate roster or capacity was located and that custody confirmation routes through the Butler County roster and the Jail / Corrections information line. Avoid treating the main jail capacity as the Resolutions capacity, and avoid saying a person is housed at Resolutions unless the roster, jail staff, court paperwork, or another official source confirms that assignment.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Resolutions Jail
Use the Miami Valley Jails Butler County roster for current county custody. The provider table is BUTL-JAIL / Butler County Jail, and the sheriff points users to the same roster from the official inmate lookup page. Resolutions Jail does not have a separate public roster in the official sources located.
- Open the Butler County current-custody roster on Miami Valley Jails.
- Check that the provider row is BUTL-JAIL / Butler County Jail.
- Use the Search by Last Name alphabet controls and complete the human security check.
- Look for the person by name. If the roster gives housing information, use that record rather than assuming Resolutions based on arrest location.
- If the person is missing, call Jail / Corrections at 513-785-1345 and ask whether the person is in Butler County custody or has been released, transferred, or booked under different identifying information.
If the person was sentenced to an Ohio prison, search the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction offender search. If federal or immigration custody is involved, use the BOP inmate locator, ICE Online Detainee Locator, counsel, or federal court channels as appropriate. Butler County houses some federal and immigration contract detainees at the jail system level, but that does not make Resolutions a separate federal facility.
Resolutions Jail Address and Contact
The official facility map places Resolutions Jail at 442 S. Second Street in Hamilton. The research did not locate a public direct phone number for the Resolutions building. Public custody, visitation, and jail-service questions should go through the Butler County Jail / Corrections information number. Records questions that are not about current custody may route through Central Records, but a live custody question should begin with the jail line.

Overflow county jail housing; no separate public roster located
Do not go to the Resolutions address for a visit, property matter, or records pickup without confirmed instructions. The sheriff's research notes say the Corrections Center conducts all bookings and releases, and the jail services material uses the 705 Hanover Street address for mail and lobby deposit routing.
Visiting Someone at Resolutions Jail
No separate Resolutions-only visitation schedule was located. The research file instructs using the BCSO jail services rules unless staff provide different instructions. Because the sheriff identifies Resolutions as overflow housing from the main jail and says all bookings and releases occur at the Corrections Center, a visitor should confirm where the visit is conducted and whether the inmate's housing assignment changes the process.
| Inmate Group | Day | Hours | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last name A-J | Saturday | 9:00-11:00 a.m.; 1:00-5:00 p.m.; 7:00-9:00 p.m. | BCSO closed-circuit audio/video; confirm location |
| Last name K-Z | Sunday | 9:00-11:00 a.m.; 1:00-5:00 p.m.; 7:00-9:00 p.m. | BCSO closed-circuit audio/video; confirm location |
| Trusty visitation | Thursday | 7:00-9:00 p.m. | BCSO schedule says both facilities; confirm assignment |
BCSO visitation rules require approved visitor status, photo identification, proper behavior, and compliance with security decisions. Each inmate generally receives one 30-minute visit on the designated day unless visitation is suspended. Up to three people may be listed, and list changes generally require 30 days in the facility plus a further 30-day wait after changes.
Mail, Phone, and Money at Resolutions Jail
No separate Resolutions mail address, phone vendor, or money-deposit vendor was located in official sources. Use the BCSO jail services rules unless jail staff provide different instructions. The published mail format uses the inmate's complete full name and the Butler County Sheriff's Office address at 705 Hanover Street, Hamilton, Ohio 45011. Confirm with Jail / Corrections before mailing if the inmate is specifically known to be housed at Resolutions.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | Inmate full name, Butler County Sheriff's Office, 705 Hanover Street, Hamilton, Ohio 45011; confirm if housed at Resolutions |
| Phone Access | BCSO housing-unit telephones, generally 8:00 a.m.-10:30 p.m. with meal-time blackout periods |
| Money Deposit | AccessCorrections.com, 866-345-1884, 705 Hanover Street kiosk, or CashPayToday barcode locations |
| Inmate Accounts | 513-785-1126, Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. |
BCSO mail is inspected for contraband. Legal mail from attorneys and courts is opened in the inmate's presence for contraband inspection. Polaroids, nude or sexual images, obscene material, and unauthorized packages are not accepted. Commissary is held twice weekly in normal weeks and once during holiday weeks.
Booking and Intake at Resolutions Jail
Resolutions should not be described as a separate booking desk. The sheriff says all prisoner bookings and releases are conducted at the Butler County Corrections Center. Once in the Butler County system, inmates are classified through the objective jail classification process described by the sheriff. Classification begins at intake and considers current and past incarceration, behavior in correctional settings, physical and medical condition, mental health condition, and predatory risk factors. Inmates can be classified as maximum, medium, or minimum and are reclassified every 30 days.
Because Resolutions is overflow housing, a person may move between buildings for housing, court, medical, discipline, release, or administrative reasons. The public should rely on the roster and Jail / Corrections line for current custody rather than assuming the building remains fixed after an older phone call or court event.
About Resolutions Jail
Resolutions Jail is best understood as a practical part of Butler County's Hamilton jail network. It helps support the county jail population when the main Corrections Center needs overflow housing and administrative space. That role explains why official public resources still point to the Butler County jail roster, the 705 Hanover Street booking and release hub, and the jail services rules rather than a separate Resolutions system.
County jail custody in Butler County can include local pretrial detainees, locally sentenced inmates, and contract detainees held for federal or immigration agencies within the broader sheriff system. If the question is simply whether someone is held in Resolutions, the answer may require a phone call because the public search may not expose separate facility-level housing before the security check or in every record view.
Note: Confirm the inmate's current housing, visit location, and mail instructions with Jail / Corrections before traveling or sending items.
