Community Corrections Placement Endings
Warren County’s official systems mapping identifies Talbert House Community Correctional Center and local community-corrections placements as court-linked programming. This is neither the Warren County Jail nor an ODRC prison. A person may live in a structured placement, move to electronic monitoring, complete a program, be terminated from it, return to court, or transfer into another form of custody. The controlling court order and program record define the change.
Do not infer completion from the county jail list. The Miami Valley roster covers current Warren Jail custody and does not function as a list of people in community corrections. Likewise, ODRC Offender Search applies only when state corrections or APA authority exists. The sentencing court is the first source for the order that placed, changed, or ended a local program.
| Event | Likely authority | Proof |
|---|---|---|
| Program completion | Sentencing court and provider | Termination or completion entry |
| Electronic monitoring | Court Services | Current journal entry |
| Violation or termination | Court | Violation and disposition entries |
| ODRC commitment | State corrections | Court commitment plus ODRC admission |
Confirm Community Corrections Release
Begin with the criminal case. Warren County Common Pleas General Division is the principal felony court, while County Court and municipal courts handle matters within their jurisdictions. Search by name or case number and follow the journal entries for sentence, community control, placement, modification, violation, termination, or discharge. An online docket is a history, not the filed order itself.
- Identify the sentencing court and case number.
- Read the latest placement and community-control entries.
- Request the actual journal entry from the Clerk.
- Confirm the current provider and program with the court.
- Use ODRC only if the record shows state commitment or APA authority.
The Common Pleas Case Inquiry updates several times on a normal business day and again overnight. It does not supply filed documents. A certified or ordinary copy from the Clerk gives the exact conditions and effective date. The broader Warren County release-record search explains the separate jail, state, and federal paths.
Placement check: absence from the jail roster does not establish program completion. Use the court order and the current provider’s record.
Community Corrections Court Contact
Provider arrangements can change. Research did not establish a stable public historical locator or a current facility address that should be frozen into publication. Confirm the provider name and placement address with the sentencing court before relying on an older reference to Talbert House. The court, not a jail roster, owns the legal placement decision.

Warren Community Control Records
Community control is a court sentence or sanction served under stated conditions. It is not the same as parole. Parole and post-release control are administered by ODRC’s Adult Parole Authority after qualifying state-prison cases. County probation and Community Corrections answer to the sentencing court. The decisive clue is the release or sentencing authority, not the person’s address.
- Community control
- Court-ordered supervision or sanctions in the community.
- Electronic house arrest
- A monitored restriction that may permit the person to live outside jail.
- Termination
- The formal end of a placement or supervision component, whether successful or otherwise.
- Revocation
- A court action ending community placement and imposing another sanction.
A person on GPS or transdermal alcohol monitoring may be outside jail under a restrictive order. Do not describe that person as in jail, and do not assume all supervision ended. Read the current journal entry for the legal status and the probation department for reporting jurisdiction.
Warren Community Corrections History
Warren County Community Corrections began in 1996 with work-release functions. Current alternatives described in official Court Services material include electronic house arrest, GPS, and transdermal alcohol monitoring. This local history explains why the generic phrase “community correctional center” can refer to more than one program model over time.
The 2025 Community Impact material reports that Community Corrections served 888 people and reported an 80.4 percent success rate for that program year. It also reports 1,175 people supervised by Adult Probation and 576 by Pretrial Services. Those figures are not release totals and do not describe the status of a named person.
Pretrial Services also differs from probation. It can supervise release conditions while a case is pending, but “bond set,” “bond posted,” “release ordered,” and “released” can carry different timestamps. The jail record proves the physical departure from county custody; the court entry proves the authority and conditions.
Warren Placement Record Requests
A focused records request should seek existing documents. Ask the Clerk for the sentencing or placement order, later modification, violation disposition, completion or termination entry, and discharge entry. Ask the program only for records it lawfully maintains and can disclose. Community-control and supervision files can contain protected material, so a public docket may reveal less than the complete case file.
Under ORC 149.43, public access remains subject to statutory exclusions and redaction. Broad categories of records relating to probation, parole, community control, and post-release control can fall outside the public-record definition. Do not promise access to private case notes. The public order, docket, and specifically public notices are the safer targets.
If the latest order commits the person to ODRC, search the state record. If it remands the person to Warren County Jail, check the current roster and Sheriff records. A community placement can thus end in successful completion, continued monitored status, a changed program, or renewed custody. Each result requires its own wording.
Warren Facilities Need Separate Searches
Warren County contains the county jail, two ODRC prisons, and court-directed community placements. Their records do not merge. The Sheriff controls jail booking and release data. ODRC controls Lebanon and Warren Correctional Institution custody. Courts and program providers control community-corrections placement records.
The local name “Lebanon” can point to several offices and institutions. Use the full agency and case number. A transfer from a program to jail or prison is not a community release. A step down to monitored community control may end residential placement while legal supervision continues. Exact terms from the order should be preserved.
Warren Placement Court Sequence
A community-corrections record is easiest to read as a sequence. The sentence or modification order creates the authority. An intake or placement record shows implementation. Later docket entries can record a violation allegation, hearing, change of conditions, termination, successful completion, revocation, or discharge. A single old entry should not be treated as the current status.
Lower courts can matter. Warren County Court handles cases in its territory, while Mason, Franklin, and Lebanon municipal courts have their own criminal channels. A preliminary felony can begin in a lower court and then continue under a new Common Pleas case number. Search both case numbers when the first docket ends with a bind-over or dismissal tied to indictment.
A dismissal of a preliminary complaint may reflect transfer of prosecution, not the end of all proceedings. A failure-to-appear notation may have led to a warrant, but an old notation does not prove that warrant remains active. Ask the issuing court for present status. For placement release, the most useful entries are the current sentence, placement modification, completion or termination, and any later custody order.
Records also distinguish physical placement from legal supervision. Ending a residential phase can leave probation or community control in place. Moving to electronic house arrest ends residence at a center but begins a different restriction. Successful program completion is not necessarily final discharge from the case. The last journalized court order controls.
