Fayette County Jail Roster Overview
Fayette County Jail is the county custody facility for people held pending disposition or convicted and sentenced to incarceration locally. The jail is listed at 254 McClellandtown Road, Uniontown, PA 15401, with phone 724-430-1222 and fax 724-430-3059. County management listed in the research includes Warden John Lenkey, Deputy Warden of Treatment Angela Kern, and Major William Vanmeter.
The county inmate lookup page does not expose a normal live web roster in the researched material. It says the website update is pending and directs users to download the Fayette County, PA Sheriff app for the most up-to-date jail roster. That means the Sheriff's app is the primary current roster path, while the jail phone line, UJS dockets, PA DOC locator, VINE, and court offices serve as fallback or related channels depending on the question.
The county Inmate Lookup page directs users to app-based roster access while the website update is pending.
That makes the county page an important instruction source even when it does not display the roster itself.
How to Use the Fayette County Inmate Roster
The official county inmate lookup page points users to the Fayette County, PA Sheriff app on Google Play and the Apple App Store. Because the public website did not show a current live roster during research, app results should be treated as the best county-directed route for current local custody status.
The app is available through Google Play for Android users.
Android users should confirm they are using the official Fayette County, PA Sheriff app before relying on roster information.
The same app is listed in the Apple App Store for iPhone users.
App-store access is useful because the county directs roster users there rather than to a conventional live roster page.
- Open the county inmate lookup page or download the Fayette County, PA Sheriff app from the official app-store listing.
- Use the roster or inmate lookup feature inside the app if available for the current device version.
- Compare the name, booking information, and custody status carefully before assuming a match.
- Call Fayette County Jail at 724-430-1222 when the app result is unclear, the person was recently arrested, or a release may have occurred.
- Search UJS Case Search for related Fayette County criminal or Magisterial District Court dockets when the goal is to understand charges, court dates, or dispositions.
Roster Search Fields
The official website did not display a verified sample inmate profile or complete search form fields in the researched pass. For accuracy, the app-based roster should be described as county-directed but not over-specified. Users should keep enough identifying information available to distinguish similar names, especially because recent bookings, releases, and transfers can change quickly.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | Likely | The county research supports app-based lookup but did not verify exact app field labels. |
| Booking Number | Text | No | Use if known from jail mail instructions, court paperwork, or a prior custody record. |
| Date of Birth | Date | No | Useful for confirming identity when more than one person has a similar name. |
| Custody Status | Status | No | Confirm directly with the jail if the record may be recent, delayed, or no longer current. |
What an Inmate Profile Shows
No official Fayette County sample inmate profile was visible from the public website in the research. A responsible inmate-record summary should therefore avoid promising specific app fields. Related official county and statewide records can still identify custody location, booking number for mail, criminal docket numbers, charges, scheduled court events, and whether a person has moved from county custody into state custody.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Booking Number | Used for inmate mail addressing and custody identification when provided by jail records. |
| Booking Date | May show when the person entered county custody, but the researched website did not verify a public field. |
| Charges | Charge details are often better confirmed through UJS criminal or Magisterial District Court docket sheets. |
| Bond or Bail | May require court docket review or contact with the jail or issuing court. |
| Housing / Custody Status | Should be confirmed with the jail for current custody because web or app data may lag. |
| Release / Transfer | County release, state transfer, or parole status may require PA DOC or VINE checks. |
Fayette County Jail Facilities
The researched county source identified one main county jail facility, not a multi-facility jail roster. The jail page states the facility is on the former site of the U.S. Army Reserve Center and describes its mission as care, custody, and control of inmates held pending disposition or convicted and sentenced to incarceration. The facility is tobacco-free and posts a scam warning that the jail and county affiliates would never request money on behalf of a jailed person.
The Fayette County Jail page is the county source for facility information and custody-related rules.
Use the jail page for facility procedures, then call the jail when a current custody status needs confirmation.

Booking Process in Fayette County
After an arrest, local custody information may appear first through jail intake and later through UJS court records. A person held on new criminal charges may also have Magisterial District Court entries for preliminary arraignment or hearing activity, followed by Common Pleas docket entries if the case is held for court. The inmate roster and the court docket answer related but different questions.
If the person was recently arrested, call the jail before relying on a web result. If the issue is the charge, preliminary hearing, Common Pleas docket, bail, warrant, or disposition, search UJS by participant name, docket number, OTN, complaint number, or incident number and contact the relevant court office when the docket is unclear.
Visitation Hours and Rules
Fayette County Jail uses non-contact video visits. Visitors register and schedule through the GTL visitation site listed in county research and must upload a clear photo of government-issued identification, agree to the policy, present valid photo ID when entering, and sign the visitor log.

How to Contact an Inmate
Personal mail is digitally delivered through tablet Facility Messages under a free profile. The mailing format researched for personal inmate mail is: Fayette County Prison, PA; Inmate Name, Booking Number; P.O. Box 247; Phoenix, MD 21131. Mail should include the complete facility name and state, inmate full name and booking number, and the sender's full name and physical address.
Legal mail goes to the jail's physical address at 254 McClellandtown Road, Uniontown, PA 15401, and should include the sending attorney phone number for verification. Phone service is through ViaPath, with housing-unit phones generally available 8 a.m.-8 p.m. daily for outgoing calls, subject to meals, medication, headcount, or security needs. Calls may be collect or deducted from commissary, and prohibited phone activity includes three-way calls, threats, witness contact, PIN misuse, and criminal activity.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
Fayette County Jail research identified money-order rules rather than a broad online deposit inventory. Money orders must be sent to the jail at 254 McClellandtown Road, Uniontown, PA 15401. Only money orders are accepted for credit; cash and personal checks are not accepted. Money orders should not be sent with inmate mail, are not accepted during visits, and should not be dropped off to staff.
The jail page also warns against scams involving requests for money on behalf of jailed people. When a message, call, or outside contact asks for payment related to a Fayette County inmate, verify directly with the jail before sending funds or sharing financial information.
State Custody and Notification Channels
The Pennsylvania DOC inmate and parolee locator is for state-sentenced inmates and parolees only. The DOC page states it is updated daily and does not include people in county facilities or in other states. If a Fayette County inmate has been sentenced to state custody or released to parole supervision, the DOC locator may become the better channel than the county jail app.
The PA DOC locator is the official state custody lookup channel.
This statewide lookup should be used only for state inmates or parolees, not for people still held in Fayette County Jail.
Pennsylvania VINE is the statewide notification channel for custody status and criminal case information. The Pennsylvania Megan's Law registry is separate and maintained by Pennsylvania State Police for registered sex offenders; it is not a county jail roster and should not be used to infer current jail custody.
