Choose the Right Record Path
Start with the record and custody type rather than sending the same request to every office.
- For a released person or release record, use the home search and records path.
- For post-release supervision, use Parole & Probation.
- For recent exits, check the 24-Hour Release List.
- For an estimated date or alert, use Projected Release Date or VINELink Check.
- For facility-specific records, choose the relevant detention facility page in the footer.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, contact SCDC rather than the county jail.
- For federal or immigration custody, use BOP or ICE channels.
