This is not a government office. Summit County Released Inmates cannot confirm whether someone is in custody or released, pull an official record, release a person, or post bond. Contact the government office responsible for the record or custody event.


Official Summit County Contacts

Choose the office by the question being asked. The jail handles physical county custody, the Records & ID Bureau handles releasable sheriff records, and ODRC handles Ohio prison and Adult Parole Authority records. Calling first can prevent a trip to the wrong location.

Records & ID Directory

Akron, OH 44308

Phone: 330-643-5545
Email: Records@sheriff.summitoh.net

This separate official directory entry differs from the transaction office. Use its listed phone or email to confirm which location handles the request.

ODRC Central Records

Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction
Attn: Central Records
P.O. Box 430
Columbus, OH 43216

Use Central Records for questions about an Ohio prison or APA record. The public ODRC Offender Search is the first lookup step.

For court orders and case disposition, use the Summit County Clerk of Courts. Ohio custody notifications are available through VINELink. Federal prison records belong to the BOP Inmate Locator, while immigration detention searches belong to the ICE Online Detainee Locator.

The following routes point to the most relevant source or explanation:

  • For a named person or a release record, start with the Summit County release search and records path.
  • For parole, post-release control, or probation, use Post-Release Supervision.
  • For people released most recently, review the documented fallback on 24-Hour Releases. Summit County has no verified official rolling release feed.
  • For a scheduled date, use the Release Date Lookup. For a custody-change notice, use the VINE Inmate Check.
  • For county jail operations, call the Summit County Jail. For a releasable sheriff record, contact Records & ID.
  • For an Ohio prison sentence or APA record, search ODRC and write Central Records when the public entry needs review.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP or ICE locator instead of the county roster.
