Find Northeast Reintegration Center Inmates

NERC State Prison Overview

Northeast Reintegration Center, often shortened to NERC, is an Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction facility at 2675 E. 30th Street in Cleveland. It is physically located in Cuyahoga County, but it is not operated by the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Department. That distinction controls the inmate search path, visitation rules, mail system, money deposits, and release information. State prison custody is an ODRC matter, while the county jail roster covers people in Cuyahoga County jail custody.

Research located the official ODRC facility page for Northeast Reintegration Center, but the page rendered a JavaScript or robot-verification barrier in the research environment. ODRC search snippets confirmed the Cleveland address, phone, and that NERC opened in 1988 as part of ODRC. A PREA audit snippet described the facility as being in Cuyahoga County and reported original design capacity. Because the full official page text was not accessible, current capacity and current population should be confirmed directly with ODRC.

The main practical rule is simple: do not search the Cuyahoga County Sheriff app for a sentenced state prisoner at NERC. Use ODRC Offender Search. Use the county app or CCCC booking desk only when the person may still be in county jail custody before state-prison transfer.

NERC Capacity Limits

The sourced population material for Northeast Reintegration Center is limited. The research located an ODRC PREA audit snippet reporting an original design capacity of 350 beds, with later additions, but the accessible official ODRC facility page text did not provide a current single capacity number or current population count. That means the capacity block should be read as a sourced historical design figure, not as a live head count.

State-prison population changes are controlled by sentencing, reception, transfer, parole, post-release control, and release decisions. A Cuyahoga County defendant sentenced to prison may go to NERC or another Ohio prison. County of Commitment in the ODRC locator can help find people sentenced from Cuyahoga County, even when they are housed elsewhere in the state.

NERC ODRC Lookup

The ODRC Offender Search is the correct locator for Northeast Reintegration Center inmates. It covers offenders currently incarcerated in an Ohio prison, under Department supervision, or judicially released. It also includes released offenders, APA supervision, and violators at large depending on the status selected. It is separate from the Cuyahoga County jail roster and separate from federal BOP or ICE systems.

1. Open ODRC Offender Search and start with last name. Add first name if the result list is too broad.
2. Use the ODRC number if known. Number search can be more exact than name search.
3. Select County of Commitment as Cuyahoga when the case was sentenced from Cuyahoga County and the location is unknown.
4. Check status, institution or current location, offense, sentence, admission data, and supervision or release information.
5. Use the county jail roster or booking desk only if the person has not yet been sentenced or transferred into ODRC custody.

NERC Address and Contact

Northeast Reintegration Center is contacted through ODRC facility channels, not the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Department. The research captured the address and phone from official ODRC search result information. Because the ODRC facility page did not render accessible text during research, callers should confirm visiting, mail, property, and money procedures with ODRC before acting on older third-party listings.

The Cleveland address can cause confusion because it is local to Cuyahoga County. The operator and records system are still state-level. Questions about booking desk numbers, the sheriff app roster, CCCC mail, or county commissary should not be routed to NERC unless the person is actually in county custody instead of ODRC custody.

NERC Visitation Rules

NERC visitation follows ODRC prison rules. State-prison visitation generally requires visitor approval and scheduling before a visit. The research source list includes the ODRC statewide visitation page, but the full NERC facility page did not render accessible text in the research environment. For that reason, the facility-specific schedule should be confirmed with ODRC rather than inferred from CCCC video visitation or McDonnell CBCF drop-off rules.

Do not apply the Cuyahoga County Corrections Center Securus video schedule to NERC. CCCC is a county jail. NERC is a state prison. The two systems have different authority, records, rules, and vendors.

NERC Mail and Money

NERC mail and money procedures are ODRC procedures. They are separate from the CCCC Securus Digital Mail Center, Cuyahoga County Access Securepak package program, and county commissary desk. The research did not capture a current NERC-specific mail address format or deposit fee table from accessible ODRC page text, so no facility-specific vendor fee should be stated without direct confirmation.

Family members should verify the current ODRC mail format, permitted contents, account funding steps, and property rules before sending money or mail. Prison rules can reject mail for format, content, enclosure, or approval problems. A sentenced state prisoner may also transfer, so confirm the current institution in ODRC Offender Search before sending anything.

NERC Prison Intake

NERC does not perform county street-arrest booking. A Cuyahoga County arrest normally begins with a city police department, sheriff deputy, or other law-enforcement agency, then county jail intake, then court review. If the case leads to an Ohio prison sentence, ODRC takes custody after sentencing and handles reception, classification, placement, transfer, and later supervision records. NERC appears in that state-prison phase, not in the first booking phase.

ODRC

The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, the state agency that operates adult prisons and offender search.

County of Commitment

The county from which the person was sentenced to ODRC, useful for Cuyahoga County court cases.

APA

The Adult Parole Authority, which handles parole and post-release control supervision.

Violator at Large

An ODRC status for a person who has absconded from APA supervision.

For a person who moved from Cuyahoga County jail to prison, the county roster may stop being the useful source after transfer. The ODRC profile then becomes the source for current state location, offender number, sentence information, and supervision status.

NERC Lookup Boundaries

NERC belongs in a Cuyahoga County inmate-population resource because it is physically in Cleveland, but the boundary between county and state custody needs to stay clear. CCCC handles pretrial detainees, county-sentenced inmates, county warrant bookings, and people awaiting transfer. McDonnell CBCF handles a court-controlled community-corrections population. NERC handles sentenced state prisoners under ODRC. A single person's record may move through more than one system as the case changes.

Federal and immigration records add another layer. No federal Bureau of Prisons institution or long-term ICE detention center was located inside Cuyahoga County in the official source checks. A federal sentenced prisoner should be searched through the BOP Inmate Locator. An immigration detainee should be searched through ICE Online Detainee Locator System. A custody notification can also be tracked through Ohio VINE where available.

Ohio law treats ODRC inmate records differently from ordinary county public records. ORC 5120.21 governs state-prison inmate records, while ORC 149.43 is the broader public-records law for public offices. Some state-prison information may be available in the ODRC locator, but medical, security, confidential, sealed, juvenile, or protected information may be withheld or redacted.
