Why This Resource Exists
Ohio public offices make many jail, court, and corrections records available, but a released person may appear in a different system from someone who is still confined. The Mercer County Sheriff's Office maintains the county booking path. The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction records state-prison status and supervision, while Mercer County courts preserve bond, judgment, sentence, and case-termination entries. Federal releases use a separate federal locator.
This site organizes those release records, official search options, supervision checks, and public-record request routes. It does not replace the public agency that created a record. The goal is to help readers select the right custodian and understand what a status such as Inactive, Released, or APA Supervision actually establishes.

What We Cannot Do
Mercer County Released Inmates is privately run. It has no connection to an Ohio government agency, sheriff's office, jail, court, parole office, or corrections department.
- We cannot release, detain, or transfer any person.
- We cannot post bond, arrange a visit, or send funds.
- We cannot give legal advice about a case or record.
- We cannot promise that an address, fee, phone number, or agency page has not changed.
Only the sheriff, court, or corrections agency responsible for a record can confirm custody, charges, transfer, or release.

That support helps keep the public reference pages available, but it does not give this site control over a partner's data or charges.
