Federal Colquitt Release Channels
Federal custody has stages. USMS generally handles people arrested or held before federal trial and transports sentenced prisoners to institutions. BOP holds people serving federal prison sentences. ICE handles civil immigration detention. Colquitt County Jail may house someone for a local event or temporary agency arrangement, but a local release entry can record only the end of county custody.
A community release, transfer, remand, and supervised release are different outcomes. Remand means a court ordered the person held. Supervised release is a federal court-ordered period in the community after imprisonment. If the jail says “released to USMS” or “released to ICE,” custody likely continued. Request the receiving agency and time of transfer before searching the next system.
Search BOP Colquitt Releases
The BOP inmate locator covers federal inmates from 1982 forward. Search by BOP Register Number or another federal number when available. A name search can use first, middle, and last name, race, age, and sex to narrow results. Confirm the identifiers because similar names can point to different federal records.
- Determine whether the case produced a federal sentence rather than only pretrial USMS detention.
- Search the BOP locator by federal number or full name and identifying details.
- Record the displayed release date, status wording, and any facility.
- If the date is past and no facility is shown, read it as no current BOP custody, subject to BOP's own explanation.
- Check the federal court docket or another agency when supervision, a detainer, or later custody may apply.
BOP explains that a past date with no listed facility means release occurred on that date and the person is no longer in BOP custody. Its records page also warns that the person may remain on supervision or in another system. Release dates can change when sentences are reviewed and recalculated, so a future date should not be treated as an unchangeable appointment.
The official BOP locator pictured below is the correct starting source for a sentenced federal prisoner, not for every federal detainee.
The capture shows the search channel. A named result still needs identifier checks and, where needed, court or BOP verification.
Check Colquitt ICE Custody
The ICE Online Detainee Locator System is the proper online source for current ICE custody and certain recent custody contexts. USA.gov explains two common search paths: name, country of birth, and birth date, or the eight- or nine-digit A-number with country of birth. An A-number is the immigration identification number, not a BOP or GDC number.
| System | Use it for | Do not assume |
|---|---|---|
| BOP locator | Federal prisoners and BOP release dates from 1982 forward | It covers ICE or all USMS detainees |
| ICE ODLS | Current ICE custody and covered recent contexts | It is a county release archive |
| USMS and federal court | Federal pretrial detention, remand, and case-stage records | A county transfer equals community release |
| Colquitt jail record | Local booking, local release, and named receiving agency | It states the full later federal outcome |
ODLS says it can locate people currently in ICE custody or who have been in CBP custody for more than 48 hours. A missing result can require direct agency or counsel follow-up, especially when movement is recent. Keep the county transfer date and ICE status as separate facts.
Note: ICE ODLS is a custody locator, not a complete history of immigration proceedings or Colquitt County releases.
Trace USMS Colquitt Transfers
The U.S. Marshals custody page explains the federal pretrial route. A person arrested for an alleged federal offense is taken before a magistrate or judge. The judge may release the person or remand the person into USMS custody pending trial. After conviction, USMS delivers the prisoner to an institution to serve the sentence.
A pretrial detainee may not yet appear as a designated BOP prisoner. Use the federal court docket to establish release or detention orders and USMS status for the custody stage. If Colquitt County Jail temporarily held the person, request the county booking and release entry to learn whether the person left for court, USMS, or the community. BOP becomes the main public locator after federal sentence and designation.
- USMS custody
- Federal detention and transport, often before placement in a BOP institution.
- Remand
- A judicial order keeping a person in custody.
- Designation
- BOP assignment of a sentenced person to an institution.
- Supervised release
- A federal court-ordered community term following imprisonment.
Colquitt Immigration Tracking Reports
Colquitt County's sheriff page has a “Criminal Alien Tracking” section with PDF links for January through March 2025 and April through June 2025. This is a distinctive county source, but the documents are not labeled as release lists. They do not replace ODLS and should not be used as a complete list of people released to or from immigration custody.
Use the reports as a clue that local immigration contacts may have records. For one person, request the jail entry that identifies the disposition and receiving agency. Then use ICE ODLS or direct confirmation. The sheriff's official page is the source for the tracking links and jail contact.
A detainer is an agency request tied to custody or notification. The county event might be described as a release because the local booking closed, even though federal custody began at once. Wording the timeline as “released by county to ICE custody” preserves both facts.
Federal Colquitt Records Contact
No local federal prison or ICE detention center was verified, so there is no truthful Colquitt facility address to publish for this channel page. Use national locators and the case court, then contact the county jail only for its own temporary detention record. The jail's record can identify the handoff but cannot certify the later federal release.

For federal prisoners, BOP's inmate records explanation supplies the meaning of a past release date. For ICE, use ODLS and the agency route provided there. For USMS, the federal docket and Marshals custody channel fit the pretrial stage. The Colquitt County release search covers the separate local and state paths.
Historic Colquitt Custody Names
Historic local records can mention the Colquitt County Jail at 126 1st Avenue SE, built in 1915 and listed on the National Register. That building is not a federal prison, ICE detention center, or current county release contact. Modern GDC material places the current jail at 200 S Vandenberg Drive.
Facility names matter when tracing old federal holds or press accounts. A person may have been “held in Colquitt County” without serving a sentence at a local or federal prison. Match the date, custodian, and receiving agency. The physical place of temporary detention does not change which sovereign agency controlled the federal or immigration case.
Note: A county address in a federal custody history does not make the final release a Colquitt County jail release.
Resolve Federal Release Conflicts
Create a dated sequence rather than forcing every status into one label. Start with the county booking if there was one. Add the federal court order, USMS detention stage, BOP designation and release, or ICE movement as supported by each agency. Record the exact status text and access date.
If BOP and a court date differ, ask whether sentence recalculation, credit, or another order changed the projected date. If the county says “released” while ODLS shows custody, describe the event as a transfer. When no system gives a clear result, request written confirmation from the agency responsible for that stage. This preserves the distinction between release from one custodian and release to the community.
Colquitt Federal Timeline Fields
A useful cross-agency timeline keeps identifiers and statuses in separate columns. From Colquitt County Jail, request the local booking number, release date and time, recorded disposition, and receiving agency. From the federal court docket, record the case number and the order for release or detention. From BOP, retain the federal number, displayed facility, release date, and exact custody wording. For ICE, retain the A-number search details without treating a missing online result as proof of release.
BOP records begin with federal inmates incarcerated from 1982 forward. Earlier federal custody requires another records route. USMS material is most useful before BOP placement because the Marshals manage federal detainees and transport sentenced prisoners. ICE ODLS serves current immigration custody and covered recent contexts. These date ranges and agency roles explain why the same name may appear in one system but not another.
When the county record names only “federal hold,” ask which agency issued it. USMS, BOP, and ICE are not synonyms. The Colquitt Clerk page can help with a related local case, while the county's Criminal Alien Tracking report is only a local immigration-contact source. Neither replaces federal court, BOP, or ICE confirmation.
