Broward County Released Inmates is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, free anyone, post bond, retrieve an official booking record, or change an agency file. Contact the office that holds the record for those services.
Official Broward Record Contacts
The right contact depends on who held the person and what document is needed. BSO handles its county-jail custody and release records. The Broward Clerk holds court records. FDC, FCOR, VINE, BOP, and ICE serve different state or federal roles.

BSO record-request instructions
Use detention information for a present location question. Request a booking and release sheet, movement record, or releasable booking photograph from the Public Records Unit. BSO processes requests in queue order and warns that duplicate submissions can slow the response.
Broward County Clerk of Courts
201 SE 6th Street
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301

Clerk records request
The Clerk supplies court dockets, orders, and certified dispositions. It does not issue BSO's operational jail-release sheet. Copy and certification charges depend on the record and service.

FDC public records
Use FDC for state-prison release history, admission or out-custody records, release-date calculations, or corrections to state data. A Broward county-jail bond release is a BSO matter, not an FDC prison discharge.
Supervision and Commission records
FDC Community Corrections: (850) 717-3444, co-supervision@fdc.myflorida.com
FDC Circuit 17 administration: (954) 677-5913

FDC Community Corrections handles field supervision. FCOR is the source for written parole or conditional-release actions within its authority.
Release notifications
Florida VINE: 1-877-846-3435, available continuously
BSO Victim Services: (954) 321-4122
FDC Victim Services: 1-877-884-2846 on weekdays
VINE is a notification service, not a certified custody-history source. Maintain direct VINE and FDC Victim Services registrations separately.
Use the following route for the question at hand:
- For a named released person or the release document, begin with the Broward County search and records path.
- For community supervision, use Probation & Parole and the office listed on the FDC record.
- For same-day exits, review Jail Releases: 24 Hours.
- For an estimated date or alert, use Projected Release or VINELink Inmate Search.
- For a specific jail, prison, community release center, ICE facility, or federal system, use the matching facility page in the footer.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the responsible BOP, U.S. Marshals, federal court, or ICE channel. One agency cannot supply every federal record.
