Garrett 24 Hour Release Source
No dedicated official Garrett County 24-hour release feed was found. The applicable source is the Garrett County Sheriff Arrest Log. It presents recent arrest cards, broad status, detail pages, and month archives. It does not advertise a rolling 24-hour release window or a filter for release time.
This distinction controls how the log can be used. A card dated today shows an arrest date. If its status reads RELEASED, the Sheriff now classifies that entry as released, but the page does not state when release occurred. An older arrest may have been released today, and a card from today may be released on another date.
The official live log shows the archive controls and current status layout.
The captured screen helps locate statuses and month controls, but the visible date must not be captioned as a release date.
Check Garrett Same-Day Jail Releases
A careful same-day check starts online and ends with the source that recorded the exit. Write down the exact 24-hour interval, including the start and end time. That prevents confusion between a calendar day and a rolling period. If the question concerns one named person rather than everyone released during the interval, use the broader Garrett County released-inmate search path.
- Open the Sheriff Arrest Log and inspect current cards. Use the relevant month archive if the arrest occurred earlier.
- Open each likely detail and compare the name, arrest date, photo, and status. Do not rely on a common name alone.
- Read
RELEASEDliterally. Do not turn the card date into a release time or infer the release reason. - Call the Garrett County Detention Center at 301-334-5055 and ask whether staff can confirm the release during the stated interval.
- If a precise list or history is needed, request the existing release log for that interval under the Maryland Public Information Act.
Ask whether each event was release into the community or transfer to another custodian. The Sheriff’s facility page says some people are held while awaiting transfer to another jurisdiction. A departure from East Alder Street can therefore lead to state, federal, another county, or immigration custody.
Garrett 24 Hour Record Fields
The public log has a thin field set. That makes it good for finding a likely entry but not enough to reconstruct a same-day release event. The following table separates what the page displays from what must be requested.
| Field | What Garrett publishes |
|---|---|
| Full name | Shown on the list and detail entry |
| Visible date | Arrest or booking date, not a labeled release date |
| Status | RELEASED, PENDING, or SENTENCED |
| Booking photograph | Shown on the detail page |
| Release date and time | Not displayed as a separate field |
| Release reason or destination | Not displayed |
A complete release sheet may identify the legal name, booking data, release date and time, release type, court or warrant authority, hold, or receiving agency. Those are reasonable request terms, not a claim that Garrett uses one fixed form with every listed field.
Note: The log’s update cadence is unpublished, so no result should be described as real-time, hourly, or complete through the moment checked.
Request Garrett 24 Hour Records
Because no dedicated feed exists, the strongest fallback is a focused request for an existing record. Garrett County accepts a public-information request online and by other published channels. Address Sheriff-specific material to the Sheriff at 311 East Alder Street, Oakland, MD 21550, or ask the county PIA contact to route it.
Identify the exact date-and-time range. Ask for an electronic copy of any existing release log showing name, booking identifier, actual release date and time, release type or authority, and receiving agency when the event was a transfer. The PIA does not require the agency to create a new 24-hour list if none exists. Under General Provisions § 4-203, the custodian generally must grant or deny promptly and no later than 30 days. Fees may reflect actual work, with the first two hours of search and preparation free under § 4-206.
For a wider look that can absorb an older arrest or a delayed status change, compare the Garrett jail releases over 72 hours. Both pages use the same Sheriff source, but neither converts an arrest date into a release timestamp.
Garrett Release or Transfer Status
The Arrest Log is not a live jail census. A PENDING label does not guarantee that a person remains in a secure unit at the moment of viewing, and SENTENCED does not name the current facility. A RELEASED label confirms only the Sheriff log’s broad category. The release sheet or receiving system is needed to distinguish community release from transfer.
For release on bond or recognizance, review Maryland Judiciary Case Search for the order and next event. For Home Detention or Pre-Trial Services, use the Sheriff program and controlling court order. For a state transfer, the DPSCS locator may show current custody, though it excludes people no longer in custody. Federal and ICE transfers require their federal locators. Maryland VINE may send a custody event from a participating source.
- Release
- A lawful end or change of the present custodial hold.
- Transfer
- Departure from Garrett custody into another agency’s custody.
- Time served
- Release after the custodial portion is satisfied, subject to any other hold.
- Detainer
- A request or authority that can cause another agency to take custody.
Garrett Release With Conditions
Garrett County operates Pre-Trial Services and Home Detention. A person can be physically out of a secure detention unit yet remain under strict local conditions. Pre-Trial Services gathers information for bond decisions, recommends conditions, and supervises people released before adjudication. Home Detention requires judicial authorization and final approval by the detention administrator.
The local program record and court docket, not the state prison locator, show this distinction. Conditions may continue while the criminal case remains open. An arrest is not proof of guilt, and the released status does not describe the final disposition.
The Sheriff’s Pre-Trial Services page documents the local release-to-supervision route.
The image supports the local program distinction; it does not show who entered the program during any one-day period.
Getting Home After Garrett Release
Garrett Transit Service uses demand-response scheduling. The Judiciary identifies it as the county public transportation provider and advises riders to arrange local trips in advance. It is not a guaranteed bus stop or gate pickup at the detention center.
Before a known release, confirm the exit point and pickup instructions with the facility. Then check the transportation provider’s current reservation lead time, service hours, fare, and accessible-ride options. The research found no published jail release desk, family waiting point, or fixed release schedule. Those details must come from the detention center for the specific event.
Garrett Release Archive Date Quirk
Garrett’s archive preserves monthly history and released entries instead of showing only people in present custody. At the research date, month links ran from August 2024 through July 2026. That observed span is useful, but it is not a formal retention rule and may change.
The same archive creates a key risk. Its visible date is the arrest date. A July card marked released might reflect a release that occurred well after booking. Use the archive to find a source entry, then obtain the actual release date from the detention center, court record, VINE event, or release sheet.
Garrett Same-Day Court Check
Maryland Judiciary Case Search can explain the legal event behind a candidate release. Search both Garrett District Court and Circuit Court because a matter can move between levels or have separate charges. Review bond, release, sentence, disposition, warrant, and recent docket entries. A court result supplies legal context but is not the jail’s door-control log.
A dismissal, time-served entry, or release order does not rule out another hold. Conversely, an online court summary may omit a record that is available from the clerk. Certain favorable dispositions can be limited in remote display, and expungement or shielding can remove public access. If the web summary is incomplete, contact the originating clerk rather than treating the gap as proof of custody.
For same-day work, note when the docket and log were checked. Then compare them with the detention-center confirmation. That combination separates the court’s authority, the Sheriff’s status, and the actual release time.
The final note should identify whether the answer came from a live call, a web status, a court entry, or a produced record.
