Search Liberty County 72 Hour Booking
The Liberty County inmate search page lets you look up anyone currently in the jail. Type a name and the system checks the roster. If the person was recently released, they might not show up in the live search. Check the 72 hour booking report instead, since it has a wider time window and covers people who have already left custody.
Liberty County is very small. The jail holds a limited number of people at any given time. Some days the booking report may only have a few entries or none at all. That's normal for a rural county with under 9,000 people. If you can't find the record you need online, call the Sheriff's Office. They are your best direct source for any booking data in Liberty County. Under Florida Statute 119.07, you have the right to inspect and copy public records, and the office must respond.

Note: If an inmate is not listed online, they may have been transferred or released recently.
Liberty County Booking Report Details
A Liberty County booking record gives you the full name of the arrested person. It shows the date and time of the booking. Charges are listed as they were at the time of arrest. Bond amounts appear when a judge has set one. Some records show "no bond" or "none" when bail has been denied. Each record has a booking number for easy reference.
Charges listed on the booking report are the initial ones filed at the time of the arrest. They can change. The state attorney reviews each case and may add, drop, or change charges before the case goes to court. The Liberty County booking report shows a snapshot of the arrest, not the final outcome. For court dates and case results, contact the Clerk of Court in the 2nd Judicial Circuit. The booking report and the court record are two different things.

Public Records Law in Liberty County
Florida law makes booking records public. Florida Statute 119.01 says all government records are open to the public unless a specific exemption applies. Every booking at the Liberty County jail falls under this law. Anyone can view the data. You don't need a reason, and you don't have to show ID to look at it online.
Some records have limits. Florida Statute 119.071(2)(c) allows law enforcement to hold back parts of a record connected to active investigations. Once the case closes, the data opens up. Juvenile arrests are private under Florida Statute 985.04 and won't show on the Liberty County report. Florida Statute 901.43 makes it a crime to charge money for removing booking photos from websites. This protects everyone booked in Liberty County from mugshot extortion.
More details are on the FDLE public records page which covers exemptions and rules for law enforcement data in Florida.
