This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm whether a person is in custody, release anyone, post bond, or pull official booking records. For any of those things, you have to reach the agency that holds the record. The contacts below point you to the right Connecticut offices.
Looking for an Inmate or a Record?
Connecticut has no county sheriff running the jails, so there is no Hartford County jail line to call. The Department of Correction handles custody statewide. For a Hartford-area question, the two offices below are the best starting points: the facility that holds most local pretrial detainees, and the DOC office that fields public questions about inmates.
Hartford Correctional Center
177 Weston Street
Hartford, CT 06120
Phone: (959) 200-3000
Connecticut DOC Public Information Office
24 Wolcott Hill Road
Wethersfield, CT 06109
Phone: (860) 692-7780
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Once you know which kind of record you need, use the right channel from this list.
- For someone taken into custody in the Hartford area, start with jail inmate records.
