This is a private reference website, not a government office. We do not run a jail, a court, or any part of the Connecticut Department of Correction. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, post bond, or hand over official booking records. For any of those things, you have to contact the government office that actually holds the record. The sections below point you to the right one.
Where to Send Custody and Record Questions
New Britain has no county sheriff and no county jail roster. Two offices hold most of the information people look for.
