The Del Norte 24-Hour Release List
Research did not find a separate official Del Norte County 24-hour release feed. The official online path is the Del Norte County Sheriff's Public Information Portal at delnorte.citizenrims.com/incarcerated-people. Although the page is labeled for incarcerated people, the observed CitizenRIMS configuration can convert qualifying custody records to a recent released status and keep them visible during the configured age-out window.
For the last 24 hours, the practical method is to open the portal, find records marked Released, and compare the record's `outDate` and `outTime` to the current time. The observed configuration on July 13, 2026 set `inmatesCustodyAgeOut` to 7 and `inmatesConvertToReleaseAgeOut` to true, so a person released yesterday can still appear, and a person released more than a day ago may also remain visible.
Check Who Was Released Today
Use the 24-hour page as a same-day interpretation of the sheriff portal. It is not a claim that Del Norte County publishes a separate daily release list.
- Open the Del Norte County Sheriff's Office page or go directly to the CitizenRIMS incarcerated-people portal.
- Review recent entries for the person by name, then confirm with booking date, arrest date, age, agency, and charges rather than name alone.
- Look for `status: Released` or a released indicator, then read the `outDate` and `outTime` fields.
- Use the out date and time to decide whether the release falls within the last 24 hours.
- If the person is not listed, check whether the case may involve Pelican Bay State Prison, CDCR, federal custody, ICE, or a court-only record.
- For a named-person workflow across all systems, use the broader release search path on the home page.
A missing portal result does not prove the person was not released. The record may have aged out, may not have posted yet, may be protected from display, may involve another custody system, or may need a records request to document the release.
What the Same-Day Record Shows
The CitizenRIMS data inventory gives the strongest Del Norte-specific field list. The public interface may not display every internal field the same way, so use these fields as release-record signals rather than as a guaranteed screen layout.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Status / released flag | Whether the record is marked Released instead of In Custody. Treat this as the key difference between a same-day release and a current-custody record. |
| `outDate` and `outTime` | The date and time signal used to interpret the last 24 hours. These fields are stronger than guessing from the booking date. |
| Booking date and booking time | When the person was booked into Del Norte County Jail. This can be different from the release date. |
| Original arrest date and time | When the underlying arrest occurred, which may predate booking or release. |
| Charges and charge level | Charge descriptions, codes, levels, and counts associated with the booking record. They do not by themselves state the court outcome. |
| Bail amount and total bail | Bond-related information where present. Do not infer the release reason from bail fields alone. |
| Booking and arresting agency | The agency tied to the booking or arrest. This helps distinguish sheriff, police, court, or other agency involvement. |
| Name, age, sex, race, descriptors | Identity-confirmation details for matching records carefully, especially when names are similar. |
No Separate 24-Hour Feed
Del Norte County does not publish a separate official 24-hour release list found in this research. Use the sheriff's incarcerated-people portal and check records marked Released with an out date/time in the last 24 hours. For a wider recent window, use the same portal logic with the 72-hour release list.
If the portal is unclear, call the Del Norte County Sheriff's Office at 707-464-4191 or submit a public-records request through Del Norte County NextRequest at delnortecountyca.nextrequest.com/requests. Ask for a specific booking or release record, such as the release date, release time, release reason if disclosable, transfer information, or jail log entry. California Government Code section 7922.535 generally gives the agency 10 days to determine whether the request seeks disclosable records, with a written unusual-circumstances extension of up to 14 days.
California VINE is also linked by the sheriff and can be used for custody-status checks and release notifications. Use California VINE or the toll-free number 1-877-411-5588 when the person may still be in custody and a future release alert matters.
Released vs Still in Custody
A person on a recent Del Norte release record has left Del Norte County Jail custody. A person still shown as In Custody has not. The distinction matters because the same portal can hold both current and recent records during the visible window. Do not rely on a booking date or a possible future out date by itself; use the released flag, status, and out date/time together.
If the person disappeared from the portal without a saved released record, follow the chain of custody. The person may have left the jail, transferred to CDCR, been moved for court, gone to another agency, or simply aged out of the public portal. Court records, VINE, the sheriff phone, CDCR/CIRIS, BOP, ICE ODLS, and public-records requests each answer a different kind of release question.
After a Crescent City Release
The Del Norte County Jail is at 650 Fifth Street in Crescent City. The research did not find a published jail policy setting fixed daily release-processing hours, so readers should use the actual `outTime` after release or call the sheriff for a pending release. For transportation context, Redwood Coast Transit serves the downtown area: Route 1 includes 5th Street at US 101 and the 3rd & K Transit Hub, Route 2 includes 3rd Street at H Street, and Routes 20 and 199 provide regional connections toward Smith River, Eureka, Hiouchi, and Gasquet.
The sheriff site also has a Personal Property Request page in its menu, but no detailed online property-release procedure was found in the research. For property, documents, or timing questions after a same-day release, contact the Sheriff's Office rather than relying on a generic jail-release rule.
Release Data Without Photos
The Del Norte CitizenRIMS configuration observed for this project had inmate, arrest, and warrant photos disabled. That means the 24-hour release check can show release data without acting as a booking-photo gallery. If the question is about a booking photograph rather than release status, use Released Inmate Mugshots for the photo-specific records request and California booking-photo law overview.
Confirm Same-Day Del Norte Releases
A same-day release check should not stop with a name match. Compare the booking date, arresting agency, charge list, status, released flag, out date, and out time. If two people have similar names, use age and descriptors only as matching clues. The public portal is a custody-status tool, while the court record is the better place to confirm the legal event that caused release. A court order, bail entry, dismissal, time-served sentence, probation order, transfer, or warrant recall can explain why the person left jail.
Del Norte Superior Court adds a local limitation that matters for a 24-hour release search. The court records page says an online criminal index is not available at this time, and older cases may not come up online. That means a same-day jail release can be easier to spot in CitizenRIMS than in a broad name search through court records. When the reason for release matters, use a case number if available, check the court portal, or contact the clerk for the correct record route.
Use CDCR/CIRIS only when the same-day jail event points to state-prison custody or the person was already a CDCR prisoner. Pelican Bay State Prison is in Crescent City, but a Pelican Bay release is not a Del Norte County Jail release. Federal and ICE checks should also be saved for cases where the facts point to federal custody, an immigration hold, or a transfer outside the county jail system.
For a record still visible in the 24-hour window, save the details before the online display changes. The research found a seven-day age-out configuration, but that is not a promise that every record will remain visible for the full period or display every field in the browser. A records request should use the saved release date, out time, booking date, and agency fields to identify the exact jail record.
