Clearfield 24-Hour Release Status
The official page for Clearfield County Sheriff Chester Hawkins does not add a person-level release feed to the county's jail information.
No official rolling Clearfield County 24-hour release list was located as of August 1, 2026. The county Jail page, Sheriff page, county navigation, and site map provide no released-person endpoint, roster filter, archive, or update schedule. They also show no mobile application for recent releases. The absence is specific to the official sources checked; it does not claim that no future service can be launched.
A same-day inquiry therefore begins with the Clearfield County Jail at 814-765-7891. Ask whether the named person is presently held and whether staff can confirm the recorded disposition. The response may be limited. If the person is gone, ask whether the record reflects community release or transfer to another authority. A transfer keeps custody in place.
The official jail page below is relevant because it documents the available contact route and the lack of a public recent-release feature.
It should be read as a directory page, not as a hidden roster or a list of people released today.

The best Clearfield County same-day process corroborates agency status with a separate legal or event source. Gather the full name, approximate date of birth, booking number if known, docket or OTN, and the date range. Do not merge two records because names match.
- Call the Clearfield County Jail at 814-765-7891. Ask whether the person remains there and, if permitted, whether the disposition was release to the community or transfer.
- Search Pennsylvania SAVIN/VINELink by name or available ID. Open the specific record, compare its reporting agency and identifiers, and note the custody event date.
- Use UJS Case Search for Clearfield County and the right court level. Bail, disposition, sentencing, commitment, warrant, and docket entries can explain legal authority but not the jail-door time.
- When durable proof is needed, make a focused county request for the existing booking/release log entry, recorded release date and time, and disposition or receiving agency.
- Follow the destination. Use PADOC after a state transfer, ICE ODLS after a supported immigration transfer, or the federal docket and USMS route for a federal pretrial case.
For a broader named-person search covering old cases and all custody systems, follow the Clearfield County released inmate search. A one-day inquiry stays narrow and records the time each source was checked.
Note: PA SAVIN reports the participating agency's event and should be checked against that agency when exact timing or destination matters.
Clearfield Same-Day Record Fields
Because Clearfield County publishes no 24-hour feed, no official online fields can be promised. The useful fields below belong in a focused request only when the jail maintains them. Pennsylvania open-records law provides access to existing records; it does not require the county to create a new list or certificate.
| Requested field | What it can establish |
|---|---|
| Name and identifiers | Which person and booking the entry concerns |
| Booking number and booking time | The specific county-jail admission, not a conviction |
| Release date and time | The recorded departure from Clearfield County Jail |
| Release type or disposition | The coded reason, which must be interpreted exactly |
| Destination or receiving agency | Whether departure may have been a transfer into continued custody |
| Bond or court reference | The related order or transaction for that case |
Bond means bail conditions were satisfied in a case; it does not end the charge. Time served relates to a sentence calculation. Parole is conditional release, not discharge. An ICE or USMS pickup is a transfer, and another county or PADOC may also become the custodian. The actual release timestamp normally comes from the jail, while the court record explains why departure was authorized.
No Clearfield source located an online retention window, photo field, archive period, or refresh cadence. Do not assume a booking remains visible for a day or that a missing entry was deleted on a set schedule.
Request Clearfield Release Entries
After an informal jail call, use the Clearfield County Right-to-Know page for the County/General form or a written request. Address a county request to Records Officer Marianne Sankey at the Clearfield County Administrative Building, 212 East Locust Street, Clearfield, PA 16830. Identify an existing record, not a question the agency must answer.
A useful request asks for the existing booking/release log entry or commitment and release record for a named person tied to a known booking date or short range. Request the recorded release date and time plus release disposition or receiving-agency fields, if maintained. Include a booking number, docket, OTN, or date of birth when needed to separate similar names. Electronic delivery may reduce copy needs, but the county need not provide a format it does not keep.
The local page lists photocopies at $0.15 per page beginning with 11 or more pages, a CD at $5, and actual postage. Recheck fees before filing. Disclosure can be restricted by exemptions, privacy balancing, juvenile or sealed status, security needs, other law, or lack of possession. The Right-to-Know Law ordinarily sets a five-business-day agency response and permits a written extension for listed reasons; it does not set record retention.
When the question covers more than one day, the Clearfield County 72-Hour Releases route explains how to define a three-day range without implying that the county offers a rolling feed.
Clearfield Release or Transfer
Clearfield County has no live public jail roster to compare against a release list. The jail can speak to present confinement, while a release record can document departure. Neither fact alone proves freedom from all custody. The disposition or receiving agency matters because PADOC, another county, ICE, or a federal authority may take custody at the point the jail case ends.
| Situation | Best next source | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Still at county jail | Clearfield County Jail and PA SAVIN | No public county roster is offered |
| Released from county jail | Jail release entry, PA SAVIN, and UJS | Another case or hold may remain |
| Transferred to state prison | PADOC Inmate mode | This is continued custody, not community release |
| Released from state prison | PADOC supervised-person mode | Release Date may begin parole, not discharge |
| Federal or ICE transfer | Federal docket, USMS, BOP, or ICE ODLS | Each system has a different scope |
When a UJS bail entry appears, compare the exact docket and check for other matters. The court timestamp is not the jail-door timestamp. A VINELink released result confirms the reporting agency's event, but it cannot rule out a warrant or immediate transfer.
Note: “Released” should always name the authority, because leaving Clearfield County custody may coincide with entry into another agency's custody.
Getting Home After Clearfield Release
Clearfield Prison Board minutes document a local transportation issue. February 2026 minutes discussed people leaving jail without rides and a possible arrangement with the Area Transportation Authority. March minutes identified personal identification as a barrier. April minutes recorded that a meeting with ATA was planned for May. These entries show deliberation, not a completed or guaranteed release ride.
Confirm current arrangements with the jail before planning pickup or transit. No official source states a release door, family waiting area, fixed release hour, property-return process, or free transportation policy. A same-day record also cannot predict how long physical processing will take once a court order reaches the jail.
The Prison Board archive provides the dated operational context shown below.
The archive supports what officials discussed in each meeting, but it is not a daily release list or transportation reservation system.
Clearfield Work Release Records
Work release is not the same as final release. Clearfield's 2026 minutes recorded one participant in February, two in March, and one in April. March discussion considered an expansion for individually approved people described as non-felony and non-violent, with existing work and ankle monitoring. That was a proposal, not a current blanket eligibility rule.
A participant may leave for authorized activity and return to custody. Accordingly, a work-release count cannot be added to a list of people discharged from jail. Confirm the individual's present status with the jail and review the governing court or program record. Home detention is also controlled placement outside the building, not proof that the sentence or supervision ended.
No Clearfield Release App
The official Clearfield Sheriff and Jail pages advertise no inmate app, release alert app, mugshot gallery, social release feed, or online roster. The county probation page links a department social account, but that is not a source for same-day jail releases or booking photographs. Generic sheriff-branded applications should not be treated as Clearfield County records.
Use PA SAVIN/VINELink for a specific participating-agency custody event. It is the notification layer documented by the county Victim/Witness office. Search the individual record, compare identifiers and agency, and register only for events and channels shown live. Alerts can lag or fail, so direct jail confirmation remains important when the timing is urgent.
