The DAC public records office accepts formal requests for full inmate files not shown in the search tool.

The Washington County Sheriff manages the local detention facility in Plymouth. People awaiting trial or serving short sentences are held here. The sheriff logs every booking and release. This data is public under state law.

Releases follow the standard state window of 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Court-ordered releases may fall outside those hours. Each record shows the person's name, booking date, release date, and charge.
