Clinton Facility Release Paths
Clinton County Correctional Facility is a county correctional facility in McElhattan. When it physically holds a Cameron prisoner, Clinton creates the booking and movement record. Leaving Clinton may follow bail, time served, a court order, or the end of a county sentence. A person may return to the community and remain under probation.
A departure may instead be a transfer. PA DOC commitment, another county placement, a federal move, or an immigration hold all preserve custody under a new authority. Current-search disappearance cannot distinguish these outcomes. Ask Clinton for the movement entry and destination.
| Clinton channel | Useful for | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Current inmate search | Checking present Clinton custody | No verified release history |
| Facility movement record | Event type, time, and destination | Does not replace the Cameron docket |
| UJS docket | Bail, sentence, and court authority | May not state door time |
| PA SAVIN | Person-specific event notice | Not a certified record |
Confirm Clinton Facility Release
Start with the Cameron Sheriff. The historical manual says Clinton was an occasional housing county, which makes assumption especially risky. Give the person’s name, arrest date, and Cameron docket or OTN. Ask whether Clinton accepted custody and whether a later transfer is known.
- Verify Clinton as the current or former physical custodian.
- Check the official current inmate search only for present custody.
- Call Clinton and request the matching movement or release entry.
- Compare the entry with Cameron bail, sentence, disposition, and commitment records.
- Check PA SAVIN and follow any destination named by Clinton.
A no-result screen may reflect release, transfer, spelling, timing, or the wrong jail. It is not a release record. The Cameron County released-person search provides the full fallback chain for a named individual.
Clinton Facility Records Contact
The official Clinton County Correctional Facility page identifies the facility and links its current inmate search. It also lists weekday administrative hours, though the research did not capture the exact schedule for publication. Use the verified main telephone number for current instructions.
58 Pine Mountain Road
McElhattan, PA 17748
Phone: 570-769-7680
Administrative hours: weekdays; confirm exact times
For historical release proof, identify the name, booking date, booking number or OTN, Cameron case, and narrow event date. Ask for the existing movement record, including the timestamp, event type, and receiving authority. If phone staff cannot confirm it, ask for the proper records-request route.
Current Search Versus Clinton Release
A current inmate search is designed around who is held now. A released person often disappears. That behavior makes the search useful for confirming ongoing custody but weak for proving a past exit. The absence of a public retention statement adds another limit.
The historical movement record answers a different question. It can show when Clinton stopped holding the person and whether the event was release or transfer. The Cameron docket then explains the legal authority. If records name a receiving authority, that office owns the next custody record.
- Current status
- A snapshot of custody at the time of search.
- Release record
- An agency record documenting an exit event.
- Transfer
- A move that continues custody elsewhere.
- Discharge
- The end of the identified custody or supervision authority.
Note: Do not rename a current-search disappearance as release without the movement entry or direct facility confirmation.
Cameron Releases Occasionally Used Clinton
A 2018 statewide institutional manual says Cameron used Potter, Elk, McKean, Jefferson, and occasionally Clinton because Cameron had no jail. This is the distinctive local context for Clinton. The word “occasionally” gives no current frequency, contract term, or priority.
Call the Cameron County Sheriff before contacting Clinton about a named person. The Sheriff’s official page lists no Cameron jail or roster. Instead, the office can identify which receiving institution accepted custody. If a different county held the person, Clinton’s current search and records office cannot answer the release question.
No reliable Cameron-only release statistics exist. Elk Prison Board aggregate numbers relate only to all Elk occupants and must not be moved onto the Clinton page. Clinton figures were not supplied in the research, so none are inferred.
Clinton Facility Release Alerts
PA SAVIN through VINELink covers participating county jails, Pennsylvania state prisons, and state parole. Search for the named person, select Pennsylvania, and compare the reporting agency with the confirmed placement. A Clinton result can support the chain when Clinton was the custodian.
Read the event exactly. Release, transfer, furlough, and escape do not mean the same thing. A transfer is continued confinement. A furlough is temporary. An escape is not lawful release. Preserve the event time, identifier, and agency before seeking Clinton’s own movement entry.
Registration may use telephone, text, email, or app. A telephone alert requires a four-digit PIN acknowledgment. PA SAVIN can report custody events, but it does not promise a browsable last-day or last-three-days list for Clinton.
Note: If PA SAVIN names another housing jail, follow that facility rather than forcing the result into the historical Clinton route.
Clinton Release Court Checks
The Cameron court file supplies the legal framework. Magisterial District Court 59-3-01 handles preliminary matters and bail. The Cameron Clerk of Courts maintains Common Pleas criminal files. UJS dockets can show bail entries, disposition, sentence, commitment, and later revocation activity.
A bail entry may authorize release without proving Clinton carried it out. Another hold can delay the exit. A time-served sentence can end confinement but lead to probation. A state commitment means the person leaves Clinton for PA DOC custody and remains confined.
Match the OTN, docket, name, and dates between the court and facility records. Judicial files use court access procedures, while Clinton custody records use the facility or county process. Submit each request to the record creator.
Request Clinton Release Records
Describe the record narrowly. Ask for the booking and movement entries for a named person within a defined date range. Include the Cameron County matter, OTN, booking number, and booking date when available. Request the release or transfer timestamp, event type, and destination.
Pennsylvania’s Right-to-Know Law presumes access to qualifying agency records but includes exemptions and incorporates other confidentiality laws. Protected data may be redacted or denied. A denial is not proof that the event did not happen. Read the cited ground and appeal route.
For an error in Clinton’s entry, contact Clinton. For a court error, contact the Cameron court. For later state custody, use PA DOC. Keeping corrections tied to the originating office reduces the risk of one system overwriting another’s distinct meaning.
Read Clinton Release Results
Conclude only what the records support. If Clinton confirms release and the Cameron docket supplies the authorizing event, state that Clinton custody ended. If Clinton recorded a transfer, identify the receiving authority and keep searching. If the current search alone returns no result, the outcome remains unresolved.
County probation is separate from state parole. Someone leaving Clinton on a Cameron county sentence may report through the 59th Judicial District without appearing in the state supervised-person locator. Conversely, a state commitment belongs in the PA DOC locator.
Federal and ICE routes should be opened only when a court or movement record points there. No official source established a Cameron or Clinton ICE contract for this research. Avoid treating every unexplained disappearance as an immigration transfer.
Clinton’s public current-search link is useful before an event, but the movement record is stronger after the person leaves. Save any result time and spelling used. When the person later disappears, ask Clinton whether the record changed because of release, transfer, data correction, or another reason. The result’s absence alone cannot answer that question.
No verified Clinton release hour, weekend rule, photo retention period, property process, exit door, or Cameron transport arrangement was found. Administrative hours are not the same as discharge times. Call the facility for instructions tied to the confirmed event and do not plan a pickup from the web search.
A court order can also precede physical execution. Match the Cameron bail or sentence entry with Clinton’s timestamp. If another hold blocked release, ask whether the movement record identifies the authority. That next agency may be another county or PA DOC. Federal and ICE checks remain case-driven, not default fallbacks.
For a disputed entry, send the correction or records inquiry to Clinton. For a disputed bail or sentence entry, use the Cameron court. Keeping the source owners separate makes it easier to tell whether records truly conflict or merely describe different stages.
Note: A verified event plus its destination is stronger than repeated current-status searches after the person has left Clinton.
