The Corrections commission of Northwest Ohio was formed in 1987 to oversee the construction and operation of the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio. The five member jurisdictions of the Corrections Commission include Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Lucas, and Williams Counties. The five member jurisdictions, along with one grant funded program and a contract with the US Marshals Service, proportionately share in the cost of operating the Corrections Center based upon the number of beds each is allocated. The bed allocation is reviewed annually, for the five member jurisdictions, based on each member's estimate of beds needed. The grant funded program is the Incarceration Reduction Post Release Control. The bed allocation breakout and proportionate cost share is as follows:
| Jurisdiction | Number of Beds | Proportionate Cost Share |
| Defiance County | 60 | 9.2% |
| Fulton County | 60 | 9.2% |
| Henry County | 37 | 5.7% |
| Lucas County | 222 | 34% |
| Williams County | 58 | 8.8% |
| Post Release Control (PRC) | 40 | 6.1% |
| US Marshals Service | 173 | 26.6% |
The Incarceration Reduction Post Release Control grant program is funded through the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction using 40 beds for those sanctioned for incarceration and may serve up to 270 days at CCNO versus prison.
Each member jurisdiction paid their proportionate share of the capital cost of construction of the facility (approximately $21.3 million). The State of Ohio reimbursed $10.7 million, or 50%, of the total capital costs as an incentive to build regional jails.
Accreditation
CCNO is accredited by the American Correctional Association (ACA). To retain ACA accreditation, CCNO undergoes an audit on all ACA standards every three years. Yearly reports are also forwarded to the ACA to show continued compliance.
CCNO is certified by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections Bureau of Adult Detention on all State of Ohio Jail Standards. This inspection period is every five years.
