Glenn County Released Inmates
A Glenn County release record starts with a custody event. The person was booked into the Glenn County Jail, held on a local charge, warrant, sentence, transfer, or court order, and then left that custody. The leaving point may be a community release, bond, time served, transfer to CDCR, release to another county, federal hold, ICE detainer, state hospital movement, or another agency pickup. That is why a person can be gone from the jail but not free from every form of custody.
Glenn County's official online jail channel is narrow. The Sheriff's Office publishes daily Recent Bookings PDFs from the jail/arrest-reports page, and those reports are useful for names, inmate numbers, arrest dates, charges, bail, warrant details, and arresting agencies. They are not a Glenn County released-inmates list. The sampled July 12, 2026 report did not show release date, release time, release reason, destination, or booking photograph. A release question therefore moves from the booking PDF to the Sheriff's Office release record, Glenn Superior Court, California VINE, CDCR CIRIS, BOP, ICE, probation, or parole.
A person who has been released from Glenn County Jail may drop off live custody views while the release record remains with the Sheriff's Office.
Glenn County Release Types
The release type controls where to look next. A bond release is tied to the jail record and the court case, because the criminal case continues after the person leaves custody. A time-served release points to the sentence and credits shown in court and jail records. A transfer to CDCR is no longer a local jail release question once the state receives the person. A federal or ICE transfer can end Glenn County custody while a new custody status starts elsewhere.
| Release or Exit Type | What It Means | Where to Confirm Next |
|---|---|---|
| Bond or bail release | The person leaves jail while the case continues. | Glenn County Jail record, Glenn Superior Court case search, and bail schedule pages. |
| Time served or sentence completion | The custody term ended under the court order and jail credits. | Jail release record and the court register of actions. |
| Probation or PRCS | The person is out of jail but may report to county supervision. | Glenn County Probation and the court sentence. |
| State prison transfer | The county case became a CDCR custody case. | CDCR CIRIS, CDCR case records, DAPO, and BPH. |
| Federal or ICE transfer | Glenn County custody ended, but another agency may hold the person. | BOP Inmate Locator, ICE ODLS, court records, and the jail release record. |
Bond-out cases are a strong Glenn County example. The Recent Bookings PDFs can show bail amounts or "NO BAIL," while the Glenn Superior Court fee and bail schedule pages explain the court-side bail framework. The booking report is the starting trace, not the final answer. A court order may change bail, recall a warrant, dismiss a count, impose probation, or send the person to state prison.
Glenn County Release Record Fields
A Glenn County jail release or discharge record is attached to the booking event. It differs from the daily booking PDF, which documents intake and charges. The release record should answer whether the booked person left custody, when that occurred, why it occurred, and whether the person went home, moved to another agency, or entered supervision. Public copies can be redacted for safety, privacy, sealed cases, juvenile matters, investigations, or other exemptions.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Booking number or inmate number | The identifier that ties the release back to the Glenn County booking report. |
| Release date and time | The custody exit point, if disclosable in the public record. |
| Release reason or authority | Bond, court order, time served, sentence, transfer, warrant action, or similar authority. |
| Destination or receiving agency | Community release, CDCR, another county, BOP, ICE, state hospital, or other agency where recorded. |
| Charge and warrant tie-back | The arrest, warrant, statute, charge count, or court case connected to the release. |
| Notification documentation | Victim or release-notification requests when the jail file records them. |
The Glenn County custody manual supports that last field. Its victim-notification policy requires a system for release-notification requests on inmates housed in the facility, booking-file documentation when known, staff checks at release or escape, and documentation of notification efforts. That internal layer matters because the county does not publish a public release roster online.
Request Glenn County Release Records
Because Glenn County does not publish a recent-release roster, a Sheriff's Office records request is a main access path for older or confirmed release data. The Sheriff's Office public contact page lists the office at 543 West Oak Street, Willows, CA 95988, phone 530-934-6441, fax 530-934-6473, email gcsoadmin@countyofglenn.net, and weekday office hours from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The jail information number listed for visiting-time questions is 530-934-6428. Use the main Sheriff's Office records or administrative channel for a booking and release record unless the county posts a more specific records form.
- Start with the daily booking PDF when it exists. Copy the full name, inmate number, arrest date, arresting agency, case type, warrant number, charge, and court information.
- Ask for the public booking and release record showing release date, release time, release reason or authority, and transfer destination if recorded.
- Keep the wording purpose-neutral. A clear request can ask for a public jail release record or a disclosable booking photo tied to a booking number.
- Check Glenn Superior Court for the case register, minute order, disposition, sentence, probation order, warrant recall, or abstract when the release came from a court action.
- Use CDCR, BOP, or ICE only when the jail record shows a transfer or the case type points outside county jail custody.

Office hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The online booking-PDF window is not a records-retention rule. The research found that the public page showed roughly one month of daily PDFs when reviewed on July 13, 2026. Older jail records may still be held by the agency even if they are no longer listed online. Sealed, juvenile, protected, or expunged case material can be withheld or limited, and the public case index may not match the original booking report after later court relief.
California Release Record Limits
California's public-records framework makes agency records presumptively accessible unless an exemption applies. The California DOJ Public Records Act portal is the state-level reference point. Glenn County's custody manual follows the same practical rule by saying non-confidential information may be released when requested while privacy, jail safety, security, and investigative concerns are protected. Booking information, court disposition, release status, and supervision status are separate record types.
The court channel matters for sentence completion and later relief. Glenn Superior Court's case search can show a register of actions, disposition, sentence, probation order, dismissed counts, warrant action, and post-conviction relief. A dismissal or expungement can change what the public sees after release, but it does not make every old copy vanish from every system. California booking-photo law also matters. Civil Code section 1798.91.1 restricts charging a person to remove or change a published booking photo, and Penal Code section 13665 limits some law-enforcement social-media booking-photo practices.
The state public-records portal is a useful reference for the public-records framework that applies when asking Glenn County for a release record.
The request still goes to the office that holds the record, such as the Sheriff's Office, court, CDCR, BOP, or ICE.
Find Released Glenn County Inmates
The best search path follows custody type. For a person booked in Glenn County Jail, the daily Recent Bookings PDF may give the first confirmed identifiers. For a person sentenced to CDCR, CIRIS becomes the state record. For a person on parole, DAPO or BPH may explain supervision or parole dates. For a person on county supervision, Glenn County Probation and the court record matter. For federal or immigration custody, the BOP or ICE locator is separate from county jail data.
- Check the Glenn County Sheriff's Office arrest reports and Recent Bookings page for a booking trace and identifiers.
- Use the Glenn Superior Court case search to see bail, warrants, disposition, sentence, probation, or dismissal activity.
- Search California VINE for current custody status and release or transfer notification options where the person is covered.
- Use CDCR CIRIS if the person was committed to state prison or may have a state release or parole-eligible date.
- Use BOP or ICE only when the case is federal, immigration-related, or the county record points to a transfer.
- Request the Glenn County booking and release record when online sources do not show the release event.
The same-day and three-day pages use this same fact pattern for people trying to see who was just released. Glenn County did not publish a 24-hour or 72-hour released-inmates feed in the source set, so Released Last 24 Hours starts with the negative finding and then moves to the fallback chain.
CDCR Search for Glenn Releases
CDCR's California Incarcerated Records and Information Search, or CIRIS, is the statewide search for people in CDCR custody and some state-prison release records. It is not a Glenn County jail roster. Use it when a Glenn County case became a state-prison commitment, when a person no longer appears in local jail material, or when the question is state parole, discharge, or a public CDCR release date.
| CIRIS Field or Step | How It Helps | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| CDCR number | Best search key when known. | County booking numbers are different. |
| Name search | Works when the state number is unknown. | Common names may require date of birth or ID Unit help. |
| Status and location | Shows whether the person is in state custody or has release-related status. | Does not confirm a local Glenn County jail release. |
| EPRD or eligible date | Shows a public state release or parole-eligible date concept. | Dates can change after credits, orders, or detainers. |
CDCR CIRIS is the state page to use when a Glenn County case has moved from jail to prison custody.
For common names, CDCR family resources say the ID Unit can help identify a CDCR number or housing assignment, and a date of birth is required for common-name inquiries.
Glenn County Recent Releases Gap
The central local finding is the gap between booking data and release data. Glenn County publishes daily Recent Bookings PDFs, not a searchable current-inmate roster and not a recent-release roster. As of July 13, 2026, the official pages showed daily booking PDFs from June 11 through July 12, 2026. The sample report was generated at 04:56 on July 13, 2026 and listed total inmates and total bookings, but the person entries did not show release dates, release reasons, release destinations, or mugshots.
That means a "released today" search cannot stop at the PDF. The PDF can identify the person, case type, warrant, charge, agency, and inmate number. VINE may show a custody change if the person is covered. The court register can explain why the person left custody. The Sheriff's Office release record is the direct county source when public online tools do not show the release.
Note: Treat the Glenn County booking PDF as an intake record, not as proof that the person is still in custody or has been released.
Glenn County Release Logistics
Glenn County does not publish a release-time schedule in the researched source set. The local logistics facts come from the jail page and the Incarcerated Persons Handbook. The handbook says that within the first 24 hours after booking, an incarcerated person can fill out a property release form to release money and keys. After that first 24-hour period, only keys are released. Clothing and personal property are released only when the person has been sentenced to state prison.
Commissary has its own rule. If a person leaves custody before receiving commissary, the person may fill out a property release form naming the pickup person. The commissary must be picked up within seven days of delivery or it will be disposed of. California Penal Code section 4024.5 adds another release-planning point: a person incarcerated in or recently released from county jail has access to up to three free calls from a county jail phone to plan for safe and successful release.
Glenn Court Release Clues
Glenn Superior Court is often the record that explains the release. The booking PDF may show bail, warrant jurisdiction, warrant description, and agency, but the court register can show the next step: warrant recall, bail change, plea, dismissal, sentence, probation grant, jail commitment, prison commitment, or later relief. If a release occurred because a judge ordered it, the jail record confirms the custody exit and the court record explains the authority.
The court locations page lists the main courthouse at 526 West Sycamore Street, Willows, CA 95988, phone 530-934-6446, with Criminal/Juvenile Delinquency reached through option 2. The court case-search page points to the Tyler-hosted portal for the online case index and register of actions. The court record is more durable than a daily booking PDF because the case keeps moving after a person leaves jail.
Glenn Superior Court's case-search page is the local court entry point for release-related case status.
Use the court result to understand the legal reason for release, then use the Sheriff's Office record to confirm the custody event.
Glenn Post-Release Supervision
Post-release supervision splits by legal source. Glenn County Probation is the county agency for probation, mandatory supervision, PRCS-related county supervision where applicable, and pretrial services. CDCR DAPO is the state parole agency for state parole and alternative custody programs. BPH handles parole hearings and eligibility for qualifying state-prison cases. The court sentence and CDCR record tell which type applies.
Glenn County Probation lists 541 West Oak Street in Willows, phone 530-934-6416, fax 530-934-6468, and weekday hours from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. DAPO's Northern Region directory lists the Chico parole unit at 1370 Ridgewood Drive, Suite 14, Chico, CA 95973, phone 530-895-4534. That is a practical nearby state-parole contact, but a specific person should be routed through the correct parole unit or headquarters when unsure. More detail is on the Parole / Probation page.
VINE Federal and ICE Releases
California VINE is the custody-status and notification route for covered California custody data. Search by name or ID, choose the correct state and facility result, then register for phone, email, text, TTY, or app alerts if the interface offers registration. VINE is not a complete archive of every Glenn County release. A no-match result can mean a spelling issue, timing lag, nonparticipating system, different custody system, or a release outside the notification window.
Federal and immigration cases require separate locators. The BOP Inmate Locator can show a federal register number, age, race, sex, custody status, location when in custody, and a release date for former federal prisoners. ICE's ODLS covers current ICE custody, and LawHelpCA describes a short recent-release window for people released from ICE custody. When the jail releases a person to ICE or another federal agency, the person is no longer in Glenn County Jail, but that is not the same as a community release.
Released or In Custody
The fastest way to avoid a false answer is to match the question to the system. A jail booking report can prove intake. A release record can prove the exit from jail. A court case can explain the legal authority. CDCR, BOP, and ICE prove separate custody paths after local custody ends.
| Status Question | Best Source | What Not to Assume |
|---|---|---|
| Was the person booked in Glenn County? | Recent Bookings PDF or Sheriff's Office records. | Booking does not prove current custody. |
| Did the person leave Glenn County Jail? | Jail booking and release record, VINE when covered. | A missing roster entry is not proof of release. |
| Why did the release happen? | Glenn Superior Court register and minute orders. | The booking PDF is not the court disposition. |
| Was the person released from state prison? | CDCR CIRIS, CDCR case records, DAPO, BPH. | County jail data does not prove state release. |
| Was there a federal or ICE transfer? | BOP, ICE ODLS, federal court, and jail release record. | Transfer out is not always release home. |
