Where to Ask in Connecticut

New Haven County does not operate a county jail roster or sheriff jail records office. Connecticut correctional centers are run by CT DOC. Release verification therefore moves through DOC, court records, CT SAVIN, the relevant facility, or a supervision office.

  • For a release or movement record, call CT DOC Public Information at 860-692-7780, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., or write to 24 Wolcott Hill Road, Wethersfield, CT 06109.
  • For custody, bond-out, court-discharge, community-release, end-of-sentence, or escape notifications, contact CT DOC Victim Services at 24 Wolcott Hill Road, Wethersfield, CT 06109; 888-869-7057; fax 860-692-7822; or doc.victimservices@ct.gov.
  • For CT SAVIN custody and court alerts, use Connecticut VINE. Current official materials may show different phone contacts for specific program channels.
  • For post-release supervision, call CT DOC Parole and Community Services headquarters at 860-692-6901; New Haven, 620 Grand Avenue, at 203-937-2400; or Waterbury, 2200 Thomaston Avenue, at 203-346-7800.
  • For a New Haven Correctional Center status question, call 203-974-4111. Detailed record requests may be routed to CT DOC Public Information.
  • For a court-driven bond or discharge, use the Connecticut Judicial Branch docket and the court where the case was filed.
  • For municipal police records, contact the arresting department. Federal and immigration records belong to BOP and ICE, not CT DOC.

When writing to CT DOC, include the full name, date of birth, inmate number if known, facility, approximate custody dates, docket number, and the exact release, discharge, movement, or photograph record sought. Ask for electronic copies and a fee estimate when appropriate. Connecticut General Statutes Section 1-212 governs public-record copies and fees.
