The Lebanon County PA Correctional Facility is a medium-security detention center located at 730 E Walnut St Lebanon, PA which is operated locally by the Lebanon County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Lebanon County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Lebanon Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

Inmates are housed in the Lebanon County Correctional Facility who are sentenced by the court to no more than five (5) years, less one day. Sentences of five years or more MUST be served in a State Correctional Institution. Although we are a county facility, we do house inmates from state and federal systems. These state and federal inmates are returned to the Lebanon County Correctional Facility to make court appearances and are transferred back to the state and federal systems when their court appearances are completed. Our facility is also utilized as a community treatment center for the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

As a county facility inmates are committed right from the ''street'', directly after the offense is committed. A State Correctional Institution receives inmates who have already been confined in a county facility, and receives background information on the inmate. Lebanon County Correctional Facility does not have the ''luxury'' of choosing which inmates we want to accept. We MUST accept all persons who have legitimate criminal charges lodged against them, or who have been sentenced to prison by the court. When inmates are confined directly after a crime has been committed it poses problems because many are under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.

The Lebanon County Correctional Facility has a number of rehabilitative programs. Work Release, Detail, Drug and Alcohol Programs and an excellent educational program is available to all inmates to aid them in their return to society as productive citizens. Jubilee Ministries provides religious programs for all interested inmates, as well as personal counseling for the inmate and his or her family.
