This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, obtain an official booking record for you, or change a public agency record. For official action, contact the office that holds the record.
Where to Ask About a Record
Use the contact that matches the custody system. A Santa Barbara County jail release is handled differently from a CDCR state-prison release or a federal BOP release from Lompoc.

Call before requesting a report to ask whether it is available. Research materials say reports may take 7-10 days to be finalized and routed to Records, and Records may take up to 10 days to review a request.
- For a released person or county booking record, start with the home page, then use the Sheriff's Records Unit or the jail that handled the release.
- For supervision after release, use parole and probation and distinguish CDCR parole from Santa Barbara County probation or PRCS.
- For recent local release questions, the 24-hour release list page explains that no official rolling 24-hour sheriff feed was found in the reviewed sources.
- For a date or alert, compare projected release date guidance with VINELink check notifications.
- For a specific facility, use the facility links in the footer for the Main Jail, Northern Branch Jail, FCI Lompoc I, and FCI Lompoc II.
- For a California state-prison record, use CDCR CIRIS at https://ciris.mt.cdcr.ca.gov/ or CDCR's Public Records Portal.
- For a federal release from Lompoc, use the BOP Inmate Locator at https://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/ rather than the county jail search.
