Finding Someone in Custody in Pike County
The county jail, run by the Pike County Sheriff's Office, holds everyone kept in custody after an arrest in Pike County, from every agency.
SearchSystems opened and checked the jail page of the Pike County Sheriff's Office at pikepa.org/courts___law/correctional_facility/index.php (page title: Pike County, PA), phone 570-775-5500, 1500 Address 175 Pike County Blvd Lords Valley, PA 18428, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on October 4, 2026.
That page is the office's jail information page rather than a roster, so a search for a particular person goes through the office at 570-775-5500.
