Find Clearfield County Jail Releases

Clearfield County Jail Release Paths

Clearfield County Jail holds people before trial, people serving county terms, and people awaiting a move to another custodian. Its official page also uses the name Clearfield County Prison in mailing directions. Both names mean the same county institution. Departure is not one uniform event. Bail, a court release order, time served, county parole, or a move to home detention can change where a person stays. Transfer to the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections, another county, federal custody, or ICE keeps the person in custody under a new authority.

The recorded disposition matters most. A bail entry means the court's terms were met in that case, but it does not end the charge or clear a hold in another matter. Time served relates to a sentence and its credit. County parole is conditional community release, while home detention still imposes controls outside the jail. A transfer is not release to the community. Ask whether the jail recorded community release or named a receiving agency. That one distinction prevents most errors.

Confirm Clearfield County Jail Release

No public person-level roster or recent-release feed was located on the official Clearfield County Jail or Sheriff pages as of the research check. The jail page gives contact and service information, but it exposes no booking number, custody status, release date, photo, archive, or update schedule. A missing online name therefore proves nothing. Verification starts with the facility and then moves to records kept by the court, PA SAVIN, and the county.

1. Call the jail at 814-765-7891. Give a full name plus date of birth or booking number, and ask whether the person is presently held there.
2. If the person is gone, ask whether staff can confirm the recorded date and whether the disposition was community release or transfer.
3. Search the Pennsylvania UJS Case Search at both the Magisterial District Judge and Common Pleas levels. Compare the docket, OTN, date of birth, bail, sentence, and later entries.
4. Check Pennsylvania SAVIN through VINELink for the named person. Read the reporting agency, event type, and event date rather than the status alone.
5. Request the existing release entry when a durable county record is needed. If transfer is recorded, follow the named receiving authority's locator.

A court order supplies legal authority, but its docket time may differ from the moment jail processing ended. SAVIN supplies an agency-reported event and may also lag. The strongest answer joins two sources, such as the jail release entry and the matching bail order. The full county search and records path is also organized on the Clearfield County released inmate search.

Note: Staff may limit details, so keep an informal call brief, person-specific, and focused on current custody and recorded disposition.

Clearfield Jail Has No Release Feed

The official Clearfield County Jail page is the source for the facility's name, address, telephone number, visitation, mail, accounts, and phone services. It is also useful evidence of what is not offered. The page has no current roster, recent-release view, 24-hour list, 72-hour list, or booking-photo gallery.

This gap changes the search method. It does not mean that no release record exists. The county may maintain a jail-management entry, commitment and release document, transport record, or release log that is not published as a live web page. It also means there is no sound basis for claiming a refresh rate, public retention window, regular release hour, weekend process, family pickup point, or property-return practice. Those operational questions belong with the jail at the time they matter.

Request Clearfield Jail Release Records

First ask whether the jail can provide a simple confirmation or existing copy informally. For a formal request, use the Clearfield County Right-to-Know page. Address a county request to Records Officer Marianne Sankey at the Administrative Building, 212 East Locust Street, Clearfield, PA 16830. The request needs the requester's name and address plus a specific description of existing records. Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law provides access rules; it does not require the county to create a custom certificate or answer questions.

Identify the person, booking number or OTN if known, and a narrow booking date range. Ask for the existing booking or release-log entry, commitment and release record, recorded release date and time, release disposition or receiving agency, and booking photo if maintained and publicly accessible. Offer to narrow the request if more than one booking matches. Court orders and docket copies use the court or Clerk route instead because court and county executive records have different custodians.

The county's published schedule 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 may be restricted by sealing, juvenile status, privacy rules, security concerns, other law, or lack of county possession. No researched source establishes how long every jail release record is retained.

The county records page displays the request routes and current local terms.

Use the page to confirm the current form, officer, delivery method, and fee before sending the request.

County Jail Release or Transfer

A county release search must stay with the system that held the person. The PADOC locator excludes county detainees, so it is not the first tool for an ordinary Clearfield County Jail stay. It becomes relevant when the jail reports a transfer into state custody. Likewise, the ICE locator is only relevant when immigration custody is plausible, and the federal BOP locator applies after commitment to BOP custody. Each database can be accurate within its own scope while failing to answer a different agency's case.

PA SAVIN is an alert and custody-event layer for participating county jails and state prisons. It does not replace BOP, ICE, or USMS systems. If its Clearfield record says released, note which agency reported the event and ask whether the event meant release to the community or a handoff. One docket can also show bail while another docket, warrant, or detainer continues custody.

Note: A transfer ends custody at Clearfield County Jail but begins or continues custody under the receiving authority.

Clearfield Jail Records Context

The official county directory lists Warden Krisha Oates and uses Clearfield County Jail as the department heading. Mailing instructions use Clearfield County Prison. Searchers should retain both names when describing a record because an older log, letter, or court order may use either one. The facility is the county institution for pretrial detention, county commitments, and people awaiting transfer. It is not SCI Houtzdale and does not use the state offender locator as its public release log.

These numbers measure different things. The 139-bed figure comes from the 2026 state county-inspection schedule. The April Prison Board minutes separately recorded 168 people in-house and 43 on home detention at that meeting. Neither is an annual release count, an average daily population, or proof of who was released. Monthly Prison Board records supply dated operational snapshots, not a person-level release archive.

Clearfield County Jail Contact

Use the facility line for present-custody and release-processing questions. Ask one narrow question at a time. Staff can say what the agency may disclose, but they should not be asked to interpret a sentence, reconcile all outside cases, or reveal protected medical, juvenile, or investigative details.

No official source in the research states a daily release time, exit door, weekend rule, property procedure, or safe family waiting spot. Call shortly before a planned pickup and ask for current directions. If the question is about a record rather than an immediate event, use the records route instead of repeated operational calls.
