Monroe County Record Offices
The office to contact depends on the record. The sheriff controls the jail booking and custody-termination record. The Circuit Clerk controls the criminal court file. Call before visiting because no official public-counter hours were found for the sheriff or jail records staff.

Use the route that matches the need:
- For a named released person or release document, the home page gives the complete search and Sunshine request path.
- For parole or probation, use Post-Release Supervision and confirm the assigned office through MODOC.
- For a same-day release question, use the 24-Hour Releases fallback workflow because Monroe County has no verified public feed.
- For a projected date or alert, use Release Date Lookup and the VINE Inmate Check.
- For a jail-specific inquiry, contact the Monroe County Jail listed above.
- For a state prisoner, use the MODOC active Offender Search or MODOC contact services.
- For a federal or immigration case, use the official BOP or ICE locator tied to that custody system.
