This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, post bond, release anyone, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the agency that holds the record.
Official Records Contacts
Use the route that matches the custody system. Franklin County does not publish an official 24-hour or 72-hour release feed, so a Sheriff’s records request is the direct county path.

Use GDC for a person transferred to state prison or released from state custody. A county jail release may instead mean transfer, so the systems should not be treated as interchangeable.
