This is a private reference service, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, arrange a release, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible public office directly for those matters.
Jail and sheriff records
Gallia County Sheriff's Office: 537 Second Avenue, Gallipolis, OH 45631, 740-446-1221. The sheriff's jail page identifies the Gallia County Jail at 535 Second Avenue and 740-441-2054. The detention page lists 740-441-2055 and mail at 18 Locust Street. Official pages show different function-specific locations, so confirm the correct destination before visiting or mailing.
For a documented booking-record or photo request, use the GCSO Forms & Links page and public-records form. The form says a charge may apply; no public booking-photo fee or response-time schedule was verified.
