This is a private reference site, not the San Benito County Sheriff's Office, the jail, the court, CDCR, or any records office. We cannot confirm custody status, release a person, post bail, schedule a visit, or pull an official booking record. Use the official contacts below for records and custody questions.

Where to Look by Need
- For a released inmate or release record, use the home page search guide, then verify with the jail, VINE, court, or a public-records request.
- For post-release supervision, separate county probation from CDCR parole on the Parole / Probation page.
- For a same-day release question, the Released Last 24 Hours page explains that no official San Benito rolling feed was found and gives the fallback path.
- For a projected date or release alert, use Inmate Release Date and VINELink Release Check.
- For a specific local custody point, use the facility pages listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced California state prisoner, use CDCR CIRIS or CDCR records, not the county jail line.
- For a federal or immigration detainee, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
