Where to Look First
For Nantucket County matters, the local sheriff handles transport and court movement, while Barnstable County Correctional Facility in Bourne is the serving jail after transfer. Published official contact details are:
- Nantucket County Sheriff's Office: 20 South Water Street, PO Box 419, Nantucket, MA 02554; phone 508-228-7263; fax 508-325-5338; email nantucket@islandsheriff.com; Sheriff James A. Perelman.
- Barnstable County Correctional Facility: 6000 Sheriff's Place, Bourne, MA 02532; main phone and general inmate/facility information 508-563-4300.
- Barnstable County Sheriff's Office Records: 508-563-4371. Public-records requests may be directed to the Records Access Officer at 6000 Sheriff's Place, Bourne, MA 02532, or by fax at 508-563-4511.
No separate public business-hours schedule for Nantucket custody inquiries was identified in the research. For urgent police communications on Nantucket, the town police directory lists dispatch/communications as a 24-hour function, but routine records questions should use the proper records or sheriff contact.
- For a person believed to be in county custody, start with jail inmate records and the Barnstable facility information line.
- For booking photographs, use the jail roster mugshots page and the public-records request route because no official public mugshot gallery was found.
- For charges after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, MassCourts, or the Nantucket court clerk.
- For a facility-specific question, use the Barnstable County Correctional Facility page linked in the footer.
- For a sentenced Massachusetts state prisoner, use the Massachusetts Department of Correction and VINE lookup process.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
