Choose the Right Record Source
The correct contact depends on where the person was held and why custody ended. Use these routes to avoid asking a county office for a state or federal record.
- For a named released person or release record, start with the Cook County release search and records path.
- For state parole or court-ordered supervision, use the parole and probation contacts.
- For someone thought to have left jail today, call the jail and review the 24-hour page. Cook County publishes no verified online feed.
- For an expected state release date or alert, use the GDC offender query, TPM lookup, or Georgia VINE as the custody type requires.
- For a county booking or release record, ask the sheriff; for bond and disposition records, ask the clerk or Magistrate Court.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, contact GDC Inmate Records and Information at PO Box 1529, Forsyth, GA 31029.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE ODLS rather than the county jail.
