Where to Ask in Forest County
Forest County's website does not identify a county jail or contract holding facility. For a local arrest, begin with the Forest County Sheriff's Office and ask which facility physically held the named person. The office is at 526 Elm Street, Box 9, Tionesta, PA 16353, and its phone number is 814-755-3541. The county publishes no jail-record hours, so call before visiting.
A request for county-held records goes to the Forest County Open Records Office, Megan Kineston, 526 Elm Street #3, Tionesta, PA 16353. Call 814-755-3537 or email openrecords@forestcountypa.gov. Use the county's linked Right-to-Know request form and ask for existing records that identify the physical custodian and the needed release fields.
For a person at SCI Forest, use the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections inmate or parolee locator. SCI Forest is a state prison at 286 Woodland Drive, Marienville, PA 16239, telephone 814-621-2110. PADOC, not the county Sheriff, controls its custody and release records.
- For a released person or release record, the home page gives the full official-source and records-request route.
- For parole or county probation after release, use Post-Release Supervision.
- Forest County publishes no official same-day feed; 24-Hour Releases explains the custodian, PA SAVIN, and court fallback.
- For a date or alert, use Release Date Lookup and VINE Inmate Check.
- For a specific agency or custody type, select the matching facility page in the footer.
- For a sentenced Pennsylvania prisoner, search PADOC; for federal or immigration custody, use the official BOP or ICE locator.
