Access Lackawanna Release Records

Lackawanna Prison Release Destinations

Lackawanna County operates the prison at 1371 North Washington Avenue in Scranton. Susquehanna County’s current corrections guidance names it as one of three independent jails that can hold Susquehanna detainees. For a person boarded there, Lackawanna is the institutional record holder. It should be asked about admission, the actual exit date and time, release type, destination, and any booking image created there.

The county tied to the criminal charge may differ from the county holding the person. A Susquehanna defendant housed in Scranton remains a Susquehanna criminal-case subject but becomes a Lackawanna institutional-record subject. That distinction prevents misrouted requests. It also explains why a Susquehanna docket can authorize a result while Lackawanna supplies the best evidence of the physical handoff or discharge.

Confirm a Lackawanna Release

First establish that Lackawanna was the actual jail. Susquehanna Inmate Control can help when placement is uncertain. Then use full identifiers with the prison. Name-only matching is weak, especially when records span two counties. A date of birth, docket number, OTN, SID, booking number, and narrow date range can separate similar names.

1. Confirm the housing location with Susquehanna Inmate Control if it is not already known.
2. Contact Lackawanna County Prison and ask whether the person is held or has departed.
3. For a departure, request the exit date, time, release disposition, and destination agency.
4. Search the UJS Case Search for the Susquehanna docket and compare the legal order.
5. Review PA SAVIN for a reported custody event, while treating it as notice rather than a permanent archive.
6. Contact any named destination to distinguish transfer from return to the community.

The Susquehanna County release-record search explains how court, jail, PA DOC, PA SAVIN, BOP, ICE, and records requests fit together. A live jail roster is for current custody. It cannot replace a dated release or transfer record once the person leaves.

Note: The legal result belongs with the case record, but the physical exit belongs with the jail that held the person.

Lackawanna Release Records Contact

The official Lackawanna County Prison page is the researched facility source. The research verifies the address and operator but does not establish a phone number, record-office hours, fee, roster retention period, or fixed release schedule. Consult the current official page for the proper prison channel and date any new operational detail before relying on it.

Questions about the Susquehanna sentence, bail, and case disposition go to UJS or the Susquehanna Clerk. Placement uncertainty goes to Susquehanna Inmate Control. The prison record holder should receive the request for the actual Lackawanna release sheet, log entry, or booking image.

View Lackawanna Prison Information

The official Lackawanna County prison source is the matching institution page captured for the project.

The image helps identify the agency that holds institutional records. It does not show a named person’s present status, exit type, or destination, so those facts still require a person-specific official record.

Website information and record evidence serve different roles. The web page locates the prison. The release sheet or log establishes the event. The Susquehanna docket explains the legal case, and a destination record shows whether custody continued elsewhere.

Request Lackawanna Release Documents

A focused request should identify the existing prison documents sought. Give the full name and aliases, date of birth if known, approximate admission and departure dates, and any Lackawanna booking number or Susquehanna docket, OTN, or SID. Ask for the admission or booking record and the release sheet or log entry showing exit date, time, release type, and destination.

Request a booking photograph separately if Lackawanna created one. Include the desired image date and associated booking number. Do not assume that every image is public; agency possession, investigative exemptions, redaction, and other limits may apply. A refusal or non-possession answer is not proof that the person remained in custody. It only defines what that response establishes.

For the court side, UJS offers a free case search. A certified order can come from the proper clerk route. Docket entries may show bail, dismissal, sentence, time served, revocation, or later orders, but a court record does not always provide the exact minute of physical exit.

Institutional record

A document created by the jail that held the person.

Disposition

The recorded result of the departure.

Transfer

A direct move into another authority’s custody.

Time served

A court result crediting confinement already completed, sometimes with later supervision.

Susquehanna Closure Split the Records

The former Susquehanna County Correctional Facility closed effective March 28, 2025. The current county coordination page sends families to Lackawanna, Wyoming, and Wayne. The practical search must therefore begin with “which jail held the person?” rather than assuming the Montrose building has a current roster.

Legacy SCCF records may remain a Susquehanna matter. A Lackawanna boarding stay is different: Lackawanna created the jail log, while Susquehanna may hold placement, transport, and case documents. Old SCCF pages that remain online do not prove active Montrose custody and do not describe Lackawanna’s current operation.

No sourced local fact establishes a fixed exit hour, family waiting area, ride-home service, weekend procedure, property handoff, or standard fee for Susquehanna detainees at Lackawanna. Ask the prison about a named admission. Do not fill these gaps with rules from Wayne, Wyoming, or the closed SCCF.

Note: Facility history explains the split, but only current custodian records establish a named person’s actual release event.

Lackawanna Transport Requires Follow-Up

Susquehanna’s Sheriff transports prisoners to and from correctional institutions and for court matters. A person may leave Lackawanna for a Susquehanna hearing and remain fully in custody. Another move may deliver the person to PA DOC, another county, the U.S. Marshals Service, or ICE. A change in location is not enough to declare release.

Create a custody chain with four facts: last confirmed jail, Lackawanna exit status, named destination, and destination arrival. Compare those facts with the court order. If PA DOC is the destination, use the inmate side of the state locator. A later Department Supervised Individual record can show an actual Release Date for state community supervision, but that field is not a projected date and does not cover county-only releases.

If an immigration detainer is involved, a Susquehanna court release can be followed by direct transfer to ICE. ICE’s locator concerns current detention and is not a release archive, so a miss does not prove community release. If federal pretrial movement is involved, U.S. Marshals custody may cross local facilities. The named receiving agency remains essential.

Separate Lackawanna and Court Proof

Each source answers one part of the question. Lackawanna County Prison records the physical stay and exit. The Susquehanna docket records case actions. PA SAVIN reports participating custody events. PA DOC covers state inmates and state parole, while BOP covers federal sentences and ICE covers current immigration detention. None should be stretched beyond its jurisdiction.

This division prevents a common error: treating “not found” in one system as proof of freedom. It may instead reflect a transfer, a different jurisdiction, data lag, a spelling mismatch, or the limits of an active-custody view.
