The County Commissioners
They pay for the jail. The sheriff runs it.
- What they controlThe jail budget, the building itself, and the agreements that send prisoners to a regional jail or rent beds to other agencies. In Cuyahoga and Summit, the elected County Executive and County Council.
- What they don'tDay-to-day operations. The sheriff is separately elected and has charge of the county jail by state law (Ohio Rev. Code 341.01) — unless the county uses a regional jail run by a multicounty board.
- NoteThree-member Board of Commissioners (Gary Saling, president; Floyd Allen Fraley; Brian D. Carter, appointed July 2025). No minutes, agendas or budget documents are linked.

Notes on the record
- The state association directory lists a communitynotification.com vendor portal for Noble County; that is not a county page and was not used. The county's own site is noblecountyohio.gov and the sheriff's own site is noblesheriff.org (noblecountysheriffsoffice.com redirects there).
- Sheriff Jason Mackie is named on the county's own sheriff page and on the sheriff's own site, matching the state association directory.
- The sheriff publishes the in-custody roster directly on his own site: about 17 people, with booking dates and offences, no bond amounts.
- Fees are published as 'costs of confinement': a one-time $25 booking fee, $2-$5 per medical visit, 50-100 per cent of dental costs, and half of each commissary deposit applied to those costs.
- No bed count, PREA material, inspection report, contract, budget document, bond guidance or death-in-custody record was found on the county or sheriff sites; the county auditor's page carries no financial reports.
- What was tried and refused: https://www.noblecountyohio.org and https://www.noblecountysheriff.com (neither resolves).
- State inspection/oversight: Ohio's Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, through its Bureau of Adult Detention, inspects full-service county jails each year against the Minimum Standards for Jails in Ohio (Ohio Adm. Code 5120:1-8) and publishes the reports on its own website.
These three offices decide who sits in a cell in Noble County and what it costs the people who live here. Nationally, almost 77% of the people who died in local jails in 2019 had not been convicted of anything, and suicide was the leading single cause of those deaths (Bureau of Justice Statistics, Mortality in Local Jails, 2000–2019).
