How to Find Current Inmates at Gallia County Jail

Head to the Gallia County Sheriff's website and find the Inmate Search section. Look for a link that says

After you click through, you may be taken to a Google Drive folder where the roster is posted as a PDF. The filename follows a timestamp pattern like “CurrentInmates_2026-01-10_14-07.pdf,” which can help you tell how recent the list is. Before you rely on it, open the PDF and check the date/time in the filename so you’re not working from an older roster.

1. Go to the Gallia County Sheriff’s Inmate Search page - you’re looking for the link labeled “CLICK HERE TO VIEW CURRENT INMATES.”
2. Click “CLICK HERE TO VIEW CURRENT INMATES” - this takes you to the current inmate roster.
3. Open the roster PDF - it will appear as a file with a name similar to “CurrentInmates_2026-01-10_14-07.pdf.”
4. Download a copy if you need it - saving the PDF can make it easier to reference while you make calls or gather other paperwork.

If you can’t find the person you’re looking for, start by going back and making sure you clicked the link that specifically says “CLICK HERE TO VIEW CURRENT INMATES.” Then double-check the PDF filename date/time (for example, “CurrentInmates_2026-01-10_14-07.pdf”) to confirm you’re looking at the most recent roster. If the online list still doesn’t answer your question, calling the jail’s Records Clerk is the most direct next step. The site lists Support Staff Records Clerk April Montgomery at (740) 208-2115, and it also lists a Records Clerk number at (740) 446-4612 ext 3012.
