Requesting Inmate Records

Florida law requires government agencies to provide public access to most records. Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes is the Public Records Act. Inmate records from the Osceola County Jail fall under this law. You can request booking records, release information, and other documents. Some records are exempt from disclosure. Section 945.10 lists confidential information that agencies must protect. Medical files, mental health records, and victim statements cannot be released without proper authorization.

To get inmate records, contact the Sheriff's Office and ask for the public records custodian. You can make your request in person, by phone, or in writing. Be specific about what records you need. Include the inmate's name, booking number if known, and dates. The agency may charge fees for copies and for staff time on large requests. Section 119.07 allows charges for extensive searches or when requests require significant use of technology or personnel.

Medical and mental health records require written consent from the inmate. Use form DC4-711B from the Florida Department of Corrections. Download the form at fdc-media.ccplatform.net. The inmate must sign the form to authorize release of protected health information. Without this signed form, the agency will redact all medical details from any records they provide. Educational records also require consent under Section 1002.22 of Florida Statutes.

How Inmates Leave Osceola County Jail

Inmates get released from the Osceola County Jail through several methods. Some post bond and leave before their trial date. Others serve their sentence and get out when their time is up. Courts can also order inmates released during hearings. Each type of release follows different procedures and timing.

When someone posts bond, the jail must process the payment and verify there are no other holds. If another agency has placed a hold on the inmate, they cannot leave until that issue is resolved. The jail staff complete release paperwork, return the inmate's property, and have them sign forms. This process can take a few hours from the time bond is posted. Once everything is cleared, the person walks out of the jail.

Inmates who finish their sentence get released on their scheduled date. The jail prepares release documents in advance. On the release day, staff process the inmate out. The person receives their property back and signs release papers. Some inmates have probation requirements they must follow after release. The jail provides information about reporting to probation officers and other conditions. Released inmates are responsible for complying with all court orders and supervision terms.
