This private reference site is not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bail, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the government office that holds the record.
Choose the Correct Record Office
Bristol County custody and release questions do not all go to the same desk. Use the BCSO main line for current facility questions and the records officer for a focused request. Call ahead before visiting because posted hours and access rules can change.

Match the request to its purpose:
- For a released person or release record, start with the Bristol County release search and records path.
- For supervision, use the Probation & Parole contacts and authorization rules.
- For same-day activity, review why the Jail Releases: 24 Hours page uses a fallback instead of a feed.
- For a date or alert, use Projected Release or VINELink Inmate Search.
- For one BCSO building, use the facility pages listed below.
- For a state prisoner, use the Massachusetts DOC route. It does not cover a Bristol jail-only stay.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP or ICE locator rather than BCSO.
