Garfield County Release Feed Status
The official Garfield County Jail page gives jail contact details, visiting information, and service links. It does not contain a current-inmate table, booking log, release archive, or filter for people released during the latest day. The sheriff navigation also has no 24-hour release feature. Therefore, there is no official Garfield County list that can be read as a complete same-day roll of released people.
This absence changes the task. A person seeking a same-day Garfield County release should begin with direct jail confirmation, not a commercial “recent bookings” page. Booking and release are opposite events, and a stale third-party entry cannot show when custody ended. The jail can address present local custody. A written record can then preserve the release date, time, and type when those fields exist and are releasable.
No official Garfield County Sheriff app or systematic social-media release archive was verified. NCIC appears in jail information as a communications vendor, not as an inmate roster or release source. Those channels cannot replace the sheriff's custody answer.
Check Garfield County Same-Day Releases
Call Garfield County Jail at 435-676-2678 when the question is whether a named person remains at the Panguitch facility. Give enough identifying information to avoid a same-name error. If staff can disclose the answer, ask whether the most recent departure was release to the community or movement into another agency's custody. That follow-up is vital for a state prisoner housed under contract or a detainee awaiting transfer.
A phone response may resolve an urgent status check, but it is not the same as a durable Garfield County release record. Use the sheriff's records process after the call if the release date, time, legal basis, or booking identity must be documented. For a broad named-person search beyond a same-day window, the Garfield County released inmate search explains the county, court, and state routes together.
- Gather the person's full name, birth date if known, booking or SO number, and the likely booking date.
- Call the jail and ask whether the person is presently in Garfield County custody.
- If the person has left, ask whether staff can distinguish community release from transfer.
- Request the existing booking and release record through the sheriff's GRAMA process.
- Check UDC status when the answer suggests state authority or a transfer to state custody.
Do not ask staff to create a new report or draw a legal conclusion. A focused request for an existing record is clearer and more likely to identify the correct custody event.
Note: The Garfield County jail line is the immediate channel, while a written records response supplies more durable confirmation of the same event.
Garfield County Release Record Fields
Because no official Garfield County 24-hour release list is online, no public feed legend establishes which fields appear in a same-day display. The useful field inventory is instead a request checklist. Ask for the existing booking or release record and name each item relevant to the event. Availability still depends on the record held by the sheriff and its classification under Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act, commonly called GRAMA.
| Requested field | What it can establish |
|---|---|
| Full name and booking or SO number | Links the response to the correct Garfield County booking. |
| Booking date and time | Marks when the local custody event began. |
| Release date and time | Documents when Garfield County custody was processed as ending. |
| Release authority or type | May distinguish bond, dismissal, time served, or another basis. |
| Charge and court or case number | Connects the jail event to the court record. |
| Community release or transfer | Clarifies whether custody ended or continued under another authority. |
These are fields to request, not a promise that every item is public or stored in one report. A court order may show dismissal, time served, or bond action, but the court action and the jail's physical release processing can occur at different times. The sheriff record is the better source for the actual local departure timestamp.
Request Garfield County Release Records
The Garfield County Sheriff GRAMA page is the durable fallback after the phone check. Its linked request form asks for the requester's contact details, status or relationship to the record, date, signature, and a precise description or case number. The form itself becomes a public document. Its response area allows the office to classify the sought record as public, private, protected, or controlled and to note release, denial, a fee, or an extraordinary-circumstances response.
Describe one person and one booking event. Request the existing booking and release record, the release date and time, the release authority or type, and whether departure was to the community or a transfer. Add the booking or SO number if known. That wording avoids the ambiguity of asking for “everyone released today” when the sheriff publishes no such prepared feed.
Garfield County Sheriff/Jail
375 North 700 West
Panguitch, UT 84759
435-676-2678
No records-office hours are published.
For a mailed GRAMA form, use the form's own P.O. Box 375 address and call first if time matters. The jail page separately gives P.O. Box 370, so the source documents do not agree on the post-office box.
Garfield Release Roster Data Quirk
A formerly cited sheriff address at the old inmate-booking endpoint returned an unavailable page when checked on August 8, 2026. That dead address is not a hidden Garfield County 24-hour release list. It also cannot show what fields a prior page displayed, how often it changed, how long entries remained, or whether photos were included.
An old bookmark can disappear for many reasons. The page may have moved, been retired, or stopped serving public data. None of those technical outcomes proves that a person was released. This Garfield County quirk is why direct phone confirmation should precede the records request. It also explains why cached copies, directory summaries, and third-party booking modules should not supply an official release date.
The current jail source is useful precisely because it shows what the sheriff now publishes: contact and facility information, but no live release navigation. The official screenshot below preserves that distinction.
The image supports the fallback route, not a claim about any named person's Garfield County release status.
Route Garfield County Release Checks
Garfield County Jail, operated by Sheriff Eric Houston's office, may hold an ordinary local detainee, a county-sentenced prisoner, a person awaiting transfer, or a state prisoner under UDC authority. The same exit door can therefore represent different legal events. Bond, dismissal, time served, or another local release order may return a county detainee to the community. A transfer to UDC, another county, court custody, ICE, or another authority means custody continues.
| Situation | Best confirmation route |
|---|---|
| Ordinary Garfield County detainee | Jail phone confirmation, then the sheriff release record. |
| Utah state prisoner | UDC Offender Search, Board status, and UDC records. |
| Transfer from the jail | Ask which agency accepted custody; do not record it as community release. |
| Federal or immigration custody | Use the responsible federal system, since the sheriff page has no federal release archive. |
UDC Offender Search covers people currently supervised by the Utah Department of Corrections. A parolee result confirms release from prison into supervision by UDC's Division of Adult Probation and Parole. An inmate result means state custody continues, even when the person is placed in a county jail. The tool excludes people awaiting trial or sentence in county jail, and a negative result does not prove release.
Note: A person can leave the Garfield County Jail roster yet remain in custody after a transfer to UDC or another authority.
Confirm Garfield County Release Timing
VINE offers another status and notification layer through VINELink and its Utah telephone service. Utah describes coverage for prisons and jails, but no official participant list reviewed names Garfield County Jail. Try the service for a specific person, then confirm a local event with the sheriff. A no-result is silence, not proof that the person left jail.
A wider three-day review can help when the exact day is uncertain, but Garfield County also publishes no official 72-hour feed. The Garfield County 72-Hour Release List route explains how to document that longer period without inventing an online roll. For a state prisoner, the UDC Release Day source adds a separate rule: almost all state prisoners housed in contract county jails are taken to Utah State Correctional Facility for release, and direct release from a county jail is extremely rare.
That state process should not be applied to an ordinary Garfield County detainee. First identify which agency held legal authority. Then match the record to that system. Same-day timing is useful only when the custody type, event, and source all refer to the same person. No verified sheriff social channel supplies a substitute archive.
