Released Inmates Records in Harris County

Every arrest in Harris County creates a booking record. The jail at 9825 State Highway 116 in Hamilton processes all bookings. Staff log the person's name, charges, date of birth, bond amount, and the date they came in. When the person leaves, that record stays on file. It becomes a released inmate record.

Harris County also keeps data on warrants. The sheriff's website lists Class A and Class B Misdemeanor Warrants. If someone has an outstanding warrant and gets picked up, they are booked into the jail. That booking creates another record in the system.

The inmate trust fund is another part of the system. The jail creates and maintains an account for each inmate. Money can be deposited for commissary purchases. These financial records are separate from the booking records, but both are held by the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

Georgia law at O.C.G.A. § 42-9-53 covers state-level release tracking. For county jail data, the Harris County Sheriff's Office keeps its own logs.
