Dauphin County Released Inmates is a private reference, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bail, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the office that owns the record.
Official Record Contacts
A release question should go to the agency responsible for that part of the event. Dauphin County Prison handles the local custody episode. The Open Records Officer receives focused county record requests. The Clerk of Courts holds Common Pleas criminal dockets and orders. County probation, pretrial supervision, Work Release, and PA DOC each maintain their own separate records.

Direct questions about an individual must still go to the responsible jail, court, or corrections agency.
