Official Jefferson County Contacts
The correct office depends on where the person was held and which record is needed. Jefferson County Jail booking and release records belong to the Sheriff's Office. Court orders and case dispositions come from the Clerk. A state-prison record belongs to the Florida Department of Corrections.
