This is a privately run reference site, and it is not a government office. We do not have a way to confirm whether someone is in custody, and we cannot release a person, post bond, or pull an official booking file. Those actions belong to the agency that holds the record. If you need any of them, reach out to the correct government office directly using the details below.
Looking for an Inmate or a Record?
The Putnam County Sheriff's Office runs the county jail and keeps its booking records, so it is the right starting point for custody and records questions. Sheriff Homer "Gator" DeLoach III leads the agency. You can call the main line during the day with a custody or records question, and the office also lists a dedicated channel for sharing important medical details about someone in the jail.
