This is a private reference site, not a Lackawanna County or Pennsylvania government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, free anyone, post bail, or retrieve an official booking or discharge record. Contact the government office that holds the information.
Official Offices and Records
Start with the office tied to the person’s last custody system. Lackawanna County Prison can direct a current-custody question, while the County Open Records Officer accepts specific requests for existing county records. No separate public prison records-unit hours were verified, so call before visiting.

Choose the route that matches the question:
- For a named released person or county discharge record, begin with the home search and records path, then contact the prison or County Open Records Officer.
- For supervision after release, use Post-Release Supervision and the Pennsylvania parole-office directory or the Lackawanna criminal docket.
- For a same-day release question, follow the 24-Hour Releases fallback because Lackawanna County publishes no official recent-release feed.
- For timing or alerts, consult Release Date Lookup and the VINE Inmate Check. PA SAVIN telephone registration is 866-972-7284, and TTY service is 866-847-1298.
- For a facility-specific question, use Lackawanna County Prison for county custody, or contact Scranton Community Corrections Center or GEO Scranton for those state community-corrections placements.
- For a state-sentenced inmate or parolee, search the PA DOC Inmate and Parolee Locator. It does not cover people held only in a county jail.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the official BOP Inmate Locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator. A no-result does not by itself prove community release.
