Visiting, Property, Telephone and Inmate Accounts

Confirm the custody location before relying on any specific visiting, property, telephone, mail or account instructions.

Court and Release Information
Custody records and court records are maintained separately. A person may be in custody without a court date yet scheduled, or may have a court date without appearing in the inmate search.
