Reading Flagler County Release Status
A Flagler County release is the end of one recorded custody event. The Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility records the booking and the time that booking ends. The result does not always mean the person walked into the community. Bond, completion of a county sentence, dismissal, or a judge's order may lead to community release. A prison commitment, another warrant, or an immigration detainer may instead lead to a transfer. The actual Release Date in the historical booking detail proves departure from that booking. The destination and court disposition explain what happened next.
That distinction controls every search. The Flagler County Sheriff's Office is the source for a county booking. The Flagler Clerk's criminal docket supplies the bond order, disposition, sentence, commitment, or probation order. The Florida Department of Corrections, known as FDC, documents state prison custody and state community supervision. Federal Bureau of Prisons and ICE tools answer only their own forms of custody. A record must be read in sequence instead of treating one agency's release date as proof that all custody ended.
- Release
- The recorded end of a specific booking or custody stay.
- Discharge
- The end of a sentence, custody term, or supervision status shown by the responsible agency.
- Time served
- A sentence satisfied by time already spent in custody, as stated in the court record.
- Detainer
- A request or notice that another authority may assume custody when the current hold ends.
Note: A completed county booking can end in community release or a transfer, so the recorded destination remains part of the status check.
Flagler County Release Paths
Perry Hall holds both people awaiting a case outcome and people serving county sentences. Its Admissions and Release Unit handles release processing, while its Transportation Unit moves people to courts and other state or county facilities. The same Release Date field can therefore sit at the start of several very different paths. The best next source depends on the legal event and the receiving agency.
| Release path | What it means | Best next record |
|---|---|---|
| Cash or surety bond | Approved security has been posted and jail processing has ended. | Booking Release Date plus the Clerk's bond order and case docket. |
| Judge's order or dismissal | The court authorized release or the charge ended. | Release Date and the filed order, dismissal, or nolle prosequi entry. |
| County time served | The county sentence and credited jail time have been completed. | Judgment, sentence, jail credit, and the final booking Release Date. |
| State commitment | The county booking ended because FDC assumed custody. | Flagler booking history followed by the FDC offender record. |
| Other authority or ICE | Another custodian may have received the person. | Requested destination, then the other authority's locator or records office. |
A scheduled date is not enough. Nor is a bond entry by itself. The booking must show a completed Release Date, or the jail must confirm that physical processing is complete. A transfer also ends the local booking, yet the person remains detained elsewhere.
Flagler County Release Record Fields
The official Tyler Technologies detail joins identity data to a particular booking. Some headings may be blank. Blank data must stay blank, and a reader should never infer a release reason from two events that happened close in time. The actual Release Date is different from the grid's Scheduled Release Date, which may be empty or forward-looking. The booking number is the key for a focused records request and for separating multiple bookings under one subject.
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Subject and booking numbers | The person record and the distinct custody event. |
| Booking Date | When this jail booking began, not the release window. |
| Release Date | When the selected Perry Hall booking actually ended. |
| Prisoner type and origin | How the person entered the facility and the custody category used by FCSO. |
| Bond data | Bond number, type, amount, status, and linked charge where populated. |
| Charge and docket data | Charge description, court date, docket number, and disposition headings where maintained. |
| Sentence fields | Sentence date, length, and disposition details when the source has entered them. |
The official historical booking view demonstrates where the Release Date appears in Booking History.
The field confirms the end of that county booking. It should then be matched to the court record or receiving custodian before calling the event a community release.
When Flagler County Bond Releases Finish
FCSO accepts cash and surety bonds around the clock. Jail staff can explain the accepted process but cannot recommend a bonding agency. A payment or court authorization begins the release path; it does not mark the instant a person leaves. Booking workload and checks on other holds can affect processing. Flagler publishes no fixed gate-release time, so claims that every bond release occurs at a set hour are unsupported.
The FCSO bail and bond information describes the official payment channels. Cash-bond refunds happen later through court accounting after case disposition and may be applied to fines, costs, or restitution under a court direction. Weekly Pretrial Activity reports published by the Clerk form a separate court-supervision record. They are not a list of all people released by the jail.
Note: Bond acceptance, court authorization, jail processing, and physical departure are related events, but they do not always share one timestamp.
Request Flagler County Release Records
The public booking page is useful, but a saved or certified record comes from FCSO. The Records Unit accepts requests through its NextRequest portal. Ask for an existing record instead of asking staff to research a theory. A narrow request should identify the person, booking number, booking date, exact release period, and the desired fields. It may also seek the recorded destination or receiving agency and the booking photograph if maintained and public.
- Find the subject and booking number in the official county search. Add another identifier to avoid a same-name mismatch.
- Describe the existing booking or release record. Ask for the actual release date and time, release disposition or destination if maintained, and any requested booking photo.
- Select electronic delivery and state a cost limit that should trigger an advance estimate. The agency has no universal fixed turnaround.
- Review any redaction note. If material is withheld, ask for the exemption and the nonexempt remainder.

Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The published FCSO records page states that requests over seven pages may involve actual extensive cost plus $0.15 per page, certified reports are $1 per page, and work classed as extensive begins at 15 minutes. Other authorized costs can apply. Section 119.07 requires a good-faith response within a reasonable time, not a set number of business days for every request.
Flagler County Release Record Access
Florida Statute 119.01 establishes the state's open-records policy. Section 119.07 governs inspection, copies, reasonable conditions, review, and authorized fees. Booking sheets, release entries, and photographs are agency records when maintained, but the public right is subject to exemptions. Active investigative material, protected victim information, juvenile records, and other confidential fields can be restricted.
Online display is not a retention schedule. Flagler's search was observed to reach far into old booking history, while Florida's GS2 schedule controls minimum retention for booking records, commitment and release lists, and related jail files. A missing online record may have been restricted, sealed, expunged, entered under another identity form, or omitted from the public interface. It does not prove that no booking occurred.
Florida expunction law and sealing law can limit ordinary public access for eligible cases after required agency and court steps. Eligibility varies. An order does not justify guessing about a record that the public portal no longer shows.
Note: Public website visibility and legal agency retention are different questions, and a records custodian can address the maintained record series.
Find Flagler County Released Inmates
Start with the authority that last held the person. The official Flagler search is valuable because its In Custody box is optional. Leaving it unchecked keeps historical subjects in scope. Booking date filters narrow when a booking began, but they do not find every person released during the same dates. Open the matching subject, choose the correct booking, and read the actual Release Date.
- Search FCSO Inmate Inquiry by name, subject number, or booking number with In Custody unchecked.
- Compare identity fields and open the relevant booking history. Record the booking number and completed Release Date.
- Search the Flagler Clerk case portal by case number or party name for the legal disposition, bond order, sentence, or commitment.
- If the person entered state prison or state supervision, use FDC. If the event involved federal or immigration custody, use the matching federal locator.
- Submit a focused records request when the web detail is missing, incomplete, or must be certified.
The Flagler County 24-hour release route explains how to request a full time-bounded cohort when a named-person check is not enough.
Florida Search for Flagler Releases
The FDC Corrections Offender Network applies only when a person entered Florida prison or FDC supervision. It should not be used to invent a state record for someone who spent time only at Perry Hall. Use the DC number when known. Name and demographic filters are the fallback, followed by a careful comparison of identity, conviction, sentence, and custody data.
| FDC search or field | How to read it |
|---|---|
| DC Number | The strongest public identifier for one FDC offender record. |
| Current Release Date | A calculated date for a current prisoner that can change; it is not a completed gate release. |
| Inmate Release Information | A search covering released or scheduled-to-release state prisoners, with date and county filters. |
| Release Date | A past date that should be matched to Date Out-Custody in incarceration history. |
| Supervised Population | A separate record for active community supervision, office, type, and status. |
A county Release Date followed by an FDC admission shows movement from county to state custody. It is not a state-prison discharge. Conversely, FDC's past Release Date and Date Out-Custody document the state departure, while an active supervision record can show that correctional oversight continues in the community.
Note: FDC records apply only to state custody or supervision and should never replace a county-only Perry Hall booking history.
Flagler County Recent Release Limits
FCSO does not publish a distinct official “released in the last 24 hours” or “72-hour releases” feed. The Tyler form offers Booking From Date and Booking To Date, not Release From and Release To. Filtering bookings for today can omit a person booked earlier and released today. It can also include someone booked today who remains detained. For one named person, the historical booking route works well. For everyone released within a period, request the maintained release log or Commitment and Release List for exact start and end timestamps.
The public search has archive-like depth. Historical records observed online extend well beyond a three-day window. That makes it useful for a known name but does not promise completeness or establish the legal retention period. No official cadence or guaranteed lag is published. For a very recent event, call FCSO, then confirm the durable record once the booking detail updates.
The official Flagler search form shows why the current-custody toggle and booking-date fields must be read with care.
Leave the box unchecked for a former booking. Then open the person record and use the actual Release Date, not a blank scheduled field.
Note: The web search can confirm a named booking, while a complete release window requires an existing agency log requested by exact timestamps.
When Flagler County Releases Post
Flagler publishes no set hour when release processing ends and no promise that its public detail updates at a fixed interval. A dated detention brochure says processing depends on how many people are in Booking. The current detention page identifies the Admissions and Release Unit as the responsible jail function. Those facts support direct verification, not a claim that court release, bond acceptance, database entry, and departure all happen at once.
For time-sensitive confirmation, provide the full name and booking or subject number when calling 386-437-4116. Later, preserve the historical detail or request the record. The release timestamp is stronger than a disappearance from a roster, yet the destination still matters when another hold exists. Physical departure, data transmission, and a court filing can occur on different schedules.
Flagler County Post-Release Supervision
Probation and parole are not interchangeable. A Flagler court may impose probation without a state-prison release. FDC Community Corrections manages felony probation and several state supervision types. The Florida Commission on Offender Review makes parole and certain conditional-release decisions. Florida parole is limited largely by offense date and statutory category, so sentence length alone does not establish eligibility.
Search the FDC supervised population by DC number when possible. Read the supervision type, status, dates, and assigned location. Then use the Flagler Clerk docket for the court's probation order and later violation, modification, or termination filings. An active supervision record means the person is in the community under correctional status, not physically held in jail. The full local distinction and office route appear under Flagler County probation and parole.
Note: A supervision record describes correctional status in the community, while a jail roster answers the separate question of physical custody.
Flagler County Release Reentry Links
A 2024 Flagler County Public Safety Coordinating Council packet described EPIC's JET work in Perry Hall. The stated model included screening during booking, clinical work, discharge planning, and care coordination designed to continue after release during the grant period. FCSO also documents SMART as an in-custody mental-health and addiction program. These are real local program references, but they do not prove that a particular person participated.
Current availability should be checked with the responsible provider or facility. A program description is not a custody record, release promise, or supervision order. The value is practical: release planning may involve care coordination that begins before the recorded release and continues after it. The person's booking history, court docket, and supervision record remain the sources for legal and custody status.
Flagler Release Alerts and Federal Checks
Florida VINELink can search a specific person and register phone, text, or email notifications offered for the matching record. FCSO links to VINE and publishes 1-877-846-3435. A notice reflects data sent by the participating custodian. It should prompt a check of the jail Release Date, FDC Date Out-Custody, or other originating record. A release from one agency may still be a transfer.
For a federal prison history, search the BOP Inmate Locator by register number or name and identity fields. “Released” or “Not in BOP custody” speaks only to BOP custody. It does not rule out USMS, state, county, or immigration custody. USMS handles many federal pretrial detainees and transports, so a person may not yet appear as a BOP inmate.
For a known immigration handoff, use ICE's detainee locator by A-number and country of birth when available, or by biographical information. If the result is unclear, use the ERO contact route. A negative search is not proof of community release.
Flagler County ICE Release Transfers
Flagler has a documented 287(g) Warrant Service Officer agreement and later temporary detention, lodging, transport, and security activity with immigration-enforcement partners. Perry Hall is not an ICE-owned long-term detention center. Still, a county booking may end at the point another authority assumes custody. ICE explains that a detainer can request continued custody for up to 48 hours beyond the time the person would otherwise be released so DHS can take custody.
When an immigration hold is known or suspected, request FCSO's recorded release disposition and destination. Pair that result with ICE's locator and, if needed, an ERO field-office inquiry. Do not read the county Release Date as proof that immigration custody ended. It marks the end of the selected Flagler booking.
Note: An ICE locator check should follow a documented handoff clue, because a missing result does not establish release to the community.
Match Flagler Release Records Correctly
Each official system answers a limited question. A current roster shows present custody. A historical booking shows when one county booking ended. The court explains the legal case. State and federal databases cover their own populations. The following comparison prevents a common mistake: treating a missing current result as a confirmed release into the community.
| System | Use it for | Do not conclude |
|---|---|---|
| FCSO current-only search | Who is presently shown at the county jail. | Absence alone does not prove release. |
| FCSO historical booking | Actual Release Date for one Perry Hall booking. | It does not rule out a transfer. |
| Flagler Clerk docket | Bond order, disposition, sentence, commitment, and probation orders. | A closed case does not supply the physical gate time. |
| FDC offender network | Florida prison release, calculated dates, and state supervision. | It does not cover a county-only jail stay. |
| BOP or ICE locator | The matching federal custodian's status. | A negative result does not clear all other custody. |
Flagler County Jail Release History
Flagler's former WPA jail was begun in 1939 and completed in 1940 with space for 22 people. It is not an operating detention site. The present Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility is a separate 400-bed facility with 15 housing units. The contrast helps prevent a bad search path: the historic building at Old Moody Boulevard has no role in current custody or release confirmation.
Current Flagler County releases belong to Perry Hall's booking system, FCSO records, and the agencies that may receive a transfer. Historical architecture can explain local context, but it cannot supply a current address, phone route, roster, or release record.
Flagler County Release Facilities
Flagler's release map includes one operating county jail plus state, supervision, federal, and immigration systems that may receive or track a person. These are separate jurisdictions, not five local jails. Use the link that matches the custody path.
- Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility records county bookings, community releases, and transfers.
- Florida Department of Corrections institutions track people committed to state prison from Flagler cases.
- FDC Community Corrections, Circuit 7 Flagler County office verifies assigned state community supervision.
- Federal Bureau of Prisons system reports BOP custody and recorded federal release information.
- ICE-related temporary custody and transfer at Perry Hall requires destination records and federal locator checks.
No FDC or BOP prison was identified inside Flagler County, and Perry Hall is not an ICE-owned long-term center. Those pages exist because a Flagler booking can lead into another system. The county Release Date and the receiving authority's record must be read together.
