Please read this first. We run a private reference site. We are not the sheriff, the jail, the clerk, or any government office. We cannot confirm that someone is in custody. We cannot give release dates, list charges, post bond, set up a visit, or pull or remove an official booking record. Only the agency that holds the record can do those things. The contacts below send you straight to them.
Franklin County Jail and Records Contacts
Most questions about a local arrest start with the sheriff's office. The jail and the records counter both sit under that office. Use the card below to call the right desk. Then scan the routing list to see where each kind of record actually lives. We point. The agency answers.
