How to Track an Inmate’s Custody Status at Muskingum County Jail
Want to confirm someone is in custody and stay updated on changes? Your best bet is checking the Muskingum County Sheriff's Inmate Registry, then signing up for VINE notifications.

- ✓ If you need help registering or you forget your PIN, VINE service representatives are available 24/7.
Something look wrong? Maybe the custody status doesn't match what you expected, or the person isn't showing up at all. Call the Muskingum County Sheriff's Office directly at 740-452-3637. Have the same details the registry uses - name, subject number, booking number if you have them. Referencing specific fields like custody status, booking dates, or housing facility makes it easier to explain what looks off.
