Official Records Contacts

This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bail, or obtain an official booking record. Contact the responsible agency directly.


Where to Ask

Use the office tied to the custody event. Lehigh County Jail is operated by the county Department of Corrections, so jail release and transfer questions do not belong with a sheriff-run roster. Published office hours can change, and the research found no official LCJ release-desk schedule. Confirm access before an in-person visit.

Choose a route by the question being asked:

  • Use the home page for a named person and the Lehigh County release-record request steps.
  • Use Post-Release Supervision for county probation or Pennsylvania state parole.
  • Use 24-Hour Releases for the same-day fallback process because Lehigh publishes no official recent-release feed.
  • Use Release Date Lookup for sentence dates and VINE Inmate Check for PA SAVIN alerts.
  • Use the facility pages in the footer when the last known setting is known.
  • Search the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections for a sentenced state prisoner.
  • Use BOP, the federal docket, USMS, or ICE for the matching federal or immigration custody event.
