- ✓ Get help identifying the correct inmate ID number (if you do not have it)
- ✓ Ask for help using the jail’s online roster for current inmates
Non-urgent paperwork can be submitted by email to the Sheriff's Office at galliacosheriff@gmail.com. If you just need to know whether someone is currently housed at the jail, check the online inmate roster first. Follow up with Records if you still have questions.
Need to speak with a supervisor about behavior, an incident, or an immediate concern inside the facility? Call the main jail line at (740) 441-2055 and ask for the Shift Corrections Supervisor. Sgt Kristen Ward, Sgt Brooklynn Stapleton, and Sgt Breanna Wolford serve in this role and can be reached through that number.
Note: For urgent welfare concerns or time-sensitive incidents, call (740) 441-2055 right away. The jail operates 24/7/365, so someone is always on duty.
For policy questions or to escalate an unresolved issue, contact Jail Administrator Lieutenant Seth Argabright at (740) 208-2115 or sargabright@galliasheriff.org. This is the right call when you're not sure which department should handle your concern.
For non-urgent requests, you can email forms to the Sheriff's Office at galliacosheriff@gmail.com. This works well for paperwork that doesn't need an immediate response.
Trying to verify someone's status? The jail's online inmate roster is often the fastest first step. If you still need help after checking the roster, email forms or follow up with Records.
