Wayne County Correctional Facility Overview
Wayne County Correctional Facility is a county correctional facility operated by Wayne County Corrections at 44 Mid-Wayne Drive in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. The warden identified in the research is Randal W. Williams. For Susquehanna County users, the important local point is that Wayne is not merely a neighboring jail in a general directory. Susquehanna County lists Wayne as one of the official facilities to contact after the Susquehanna County Correctional Facility closed and inmate housing moved to a partner-facility model.
The inspected official Wayne Corrections page works more like a service hub than a public jail roster. It publishes contact information and links for mail, commissary, phone service, video visitation, and visitation rules. It did not provide a public capacity figure in the source material reviewed, and no public Wayne roster was located in that text. A Susquehanna County arrestee may still have court, bail, or account questions tied to Montrose while the housing rules are Wayne County rules. That split is the main reason calls should be routed carefully.
The Wayne County Corrections page is the official starting point for the facility's address, warden, and service links.
That service-hub format explains why a searcher may find mail and video rules before finding a public roster. For a custody confirmation, use the facility phone line or Susquehanna County Inmate Control and Coordination.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Wayne County Correctional Facility
No public Wayne County Correctional Facility roster was located in the inspected official text. The most reliable lookup route for a Susquehanna County case is a confirmation chain: start with Susquehanna County Inmate Control and Coordination if the housing facility is unknown, then call Wayne County Correctional Facility if Wayne is the likely placement. Pennsylvania VINE can also be used as a custody-notification channel, but it is not a substitute for facility confirmation when a new arrest or recent transfer is involved.
- Start with Susquehanna County Inmate Control and Coordination at 570-278-4600 ext. 5946 if you do not know where the person was housed after arrest.
- Call Wayne County Correctional Facility at 570-253-5970 ext. 4251, or use the additional listed line, 570-253-2621, when Wayne is the likely housing facility.
- Give the person's full legal name and date of birth, and ask whether the person is currently housed at 44 Mid-Wayne Drive.
- If the person is state-sentenced or on parole, search the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections locator instead of treating Wayne as the current jail.
Use the Pennsylvania VINE service for custody notifications where available, and use the PA DOC inmate locator for state-sentenced inmates or parolees. PA DOC says its locator is for state-sentenced inmates and parolees, not county-jail detainees. That distinction matters because a person may begin in a county or partner facility and later move into state DOC custody after sentencing.
Wayne County Correctional Facility Address and Contact
Use Wayne County contact information for current housing, visitation, mail, phone, and commissary rules at this facility. Use Susquehanna County Inmate Control and Coordination for Susquehanna County placement questions when the receiving jail is not known. The Wayne page lists the warden as Randal W. Williams and gives both a facility phone extension and a separate phone line.

For Susquehanna County coordination, the county inmate-management office is at 31 Lake Avenue, P.O. Box 218, Montrose, PA 18801, and the listed phone is 570-278-4600 ext. 5946. That office is the better first call when a family member knows the arrest was in Susquehanna County but does not know whether the person went to Wayne, Wyoming, Lackawanna, state DOC, federal custody, or another channel.
Visiting Someone at Wayne County Correctional Facility
Wayne County's visitation rules are approval-based. Visitors must complete and return the facility visitation form. Immediate family may visit during the first 30 days while that form is being processed, but other visitors must wait for approval. The research notes that approval takes about one week. Visitors should carry valid government photo identification, and children under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. The rules also note that pets or animals are not allowed on the grounds, while service-animal accommodation may require documentation.
| Visitor Issue | Wayne County Rule | Practical Step |
|---|---|---|
| Approval | Complete and return the visitation form. | Submit the form before planning a non-immediate-family visit. |
| First 30 days | Immediate family may visit while processing is pending. | Confirm relationship and schedule with the facility. |
| Processing time | Approval is described as about one week. | Do not travel until the facility confirms the visit. |
| ID and minors | Photo ID is required; children under 18 need a responsible adult. | Bring current identification and check minor rules before arrival. |
Mail, Phone, and Money at Wayne County Correctional Facility
Wayne County publishes unusually detailed service rules. Commissary is described as limited, and funds must be deposited under the offender's name. Family and friends may mail a money order payable to the offender or use the facility lobby kiosk. The kiosk is available from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and accepts credit card, debit card, or cash. Turnkey Corrections/Inmate Canteen is linked for deposits.
The Wayne County commissary and phone page documents the kiosk, Inmate Canteen, and Lattice phone-account options.
Phone access uses Lattice and SmartJailMail options. Offenders may order phone time from housing-unit phones using commissary funds. Family or friends can create phone accounts through Lattice, call customer service at 888-843-1972, use SmartJailMail, or mail Lattice at P.O. Box 536, Collingswood, NJ 08108 with the inmate name, facility, and contact number.
The Wayne County MailGuard page explains how Smart Communications scans general postal mail for digital delivery.
General postal mail should be addressed to the inmate name and ID, c/o Smart Communications, P.O. Box 700, Pinellas Park, FL 33781. Legal mail, court documents, and bank statements still go directly to the facility. Released inmates can log into SmartJailMail to save mail PDFs, which is useful when a person leaves custody and needs copies of scanned correspondence.
| Service | Provider or Detail |
|---|---|
| General Mail | Inmate name and ID, c/o Smart Communications, P.O. Box 700, Pinellas Park, FL 33781. |
| Legal Mail | Legal mail, court documents, and bank statements go directly to the facility. |
| Phone Accounts | Lattice, SmartJailMail, or customer service at 888-843-1972. |
| Money Deposit | Money order payable to offender, lobby kiosk 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., or Turnkey/Inmate Canteen. |
Video Visits and SmartJailMail
Wayne County uses NetVisit from Lattice for video visitation, scheduled through SmartJailMail. The official material reviewed notes that Chrome or Firefox is required. It also states that remote sessions are unlimited per week. Unlimited remote sessions does not mean unscheduled or unapproved contact. Visitors still need to follow account setup, scheduling, identity, and conduct rules.
The Wayne County video visitation page identifies NetVisit by Lattice and the SmartJailMail scheduling route.
This is another point where the partner-housing model changes the searcher workflow. A Susquehanna County case may still be handled through Susquehanna County court channels, but the video visit is controlled by Wayne County's vendor rules when the person is housed in Honesdale.
Booking and Intake at Wayne County Correctional Facility
After a Susquehanna County arrest, the arrest county and housing county may not be the same. The person may be processed through preliminary arraignment or other court steps in Susquehanna County, while physical custody is assigned to Wayne County or another partner jail. The Susquehanna County sheriff's office transports prisoners to and from county and state correctional facilities statewide and interstate, which fits the current closed-jail model.
Once Wayne receives the person, Wayne's facility rules control housing, classification, telephone access, mail scanning, visitation approval, and commissary deposits. A new arrest may not appear in any online channel right away, and the research did not locate an official roster timing rule for Wayne. If the person is not confirmed through VINE or a partner channel, call Susquehanna Inmate Control or Wayne directly rather than assuming release.
Wayne County Correctional Facility Capacity and Population
No official Wayne County Correctional Facility capacity figure was located in the inspected source material. The relevant Susquehanna County population fact is that the former local correctional facility is closed, so current Susquehanna County inmates may be counted in partner facilities instead of a single Susquehanna jail count. Research notes that the old Susquehanna facility closed March 28, 2025, after officials discussed expected savings, affected staff, repair needs, and a typical pre-closure count that was much lower than the building's designed capacity.
About Wayne County Correctional Facility
For Susquehanna County inmate searches, Wayne County Correctional Facility is best understood as a receiving and service facility, not as a Susquehanna County courthouse record source. It may be the place where mail, phone, money, and visits happen, while Susquehanna County court records, bail questions, and case status still point back to Montrose or the Pennsylvania Unified Judicial System. The inspected Wayne source provides practical communications infrastructure but no public roster or capacity number.
Searchers should also separate county custody from state and federal custody. The PA DOC locator covers state-sentenced inmates and parolees, not people held in county facilities. Federal BOP and ICE locator tools cover different custody systems. A Wayne County housing confirmation does not replace a court docket search, and a court docket does not guarantee that the person is still physically in Wayne County custody.
Note: Confirm custody, visit approval, and current vendor rules with Wayne County Correctional Facility before traveling or sending money.
