Plymouth County Jail Mugshots
No official public PCCF jail roster or mugshot gallery was located on the Massachusetts Plymouth County Sheriff's site. The sheriff site publishes facility, visitor, public-records, ICE/DHS, program, and contact information, but not a current public booking-photo feed. Search results that claim a Plymouth roster or mugshot lookup may be third-party pages or out-of-state pages, and the Iowa Plymouth County roster must not be used for Massachusetts records.
The records route is more cautious. A person may have been booked by police, brought to court, released, transferred to PCCF, moved to DOC, held for ICE, or placed in another system. A mugshot proves only that a booking photo was taken in a booking context. It is not proof of conviction, and court outcomes must be checked through MassCourts or the clerk.
Where Plymouth Booking Photos Are Found
The reviewed official sources do not show a Plymouth County recent-bookings gallery. For a booking photo, use the sheriff's public-records page and ask for the specific record. For court status, use MassCourts. For immigration custody at PCCF, use ICE ODLS and PCCF/ICE contact routes. For sentenced state custody, use Massachusetts VINE.
- Call PCCF at 508-830-6200 if the question is current custody.
- Search Massachusetts VINE when the person may be in DOC custody or a participating custody record.
- Use MassCourts to check court charges after the arrest.
- Send a written request to the sheriff's RAO for a booking photograph or booking sheet.
- Use ICE ODLS or BOP only when the custody type is immigration or federal prison.
The screenshot below is from the Plymouth County Sheriff's public-records page, which names the official RAO channel for records that are not published online.
That public-records channel is the correct local route for a non-exempt booking photo request when no public mugshot roster exists.
Plymouth Booking Photo Records
A public PCCF roster profile was not located, so a photo field should not be promised. A request can still ask for common booking-record fields, with the understanding that exemptions can remove or redact parts of a record.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Booking photograph | The mugshot or booking photo if retained and releasable. |
| Full name | The person booked or held at PCCF. |
| Booking date | When the person entered jail custody. |
| Arresting agency | The police, court, ICE, DOC, federal, or other agency tied to custody. |
| Charges or holds | The booking basis, which may differ from court-filed charges. |
| Release date | Release or transfer timing if public and available. |
Are Plymouth Mugshots Public?
Massachusetts does not operate one statewide public mugshot website for county jail bookings. A booking photo can be requested as a government record, but release is not automatic. M.G.L. c. 66, Section 10 creates the public-records request process, and M.G.L. c. 4, Section 7, clause twenty-sixth defines public records and exemptions. CORI, privacy, investigatory, juvenile, sealed, impounded, medical, and security limits can affect a jail photo request.
Key point: Public record does not always mean published online. No official PCCF mugshot roster was located, so the RAO request is the documented route.
Request Plymouth Booking Photos
Send the request to Jessica Kenny, General Counsel and Records Access Officer, Plymouth County Sheriff's Office, 24 Long Pond Road, Plymouth, MA 02360. The sheriff public-records page lists phone (508) 830-6200 x867, fax (508) 830-6234, and email jkenny@pcsdma.org. Written requests are best because the Secretary of the Commonwealth's public-records guide says a written request is needed for an appeal to the Supervisor of Records.
| Request Detail | Why It Helps |
|---|---|
| Full name and aliases | Helps distinguish common names. |
| Date of birth | Helps confirm the correct person. |
| Booking or arrest date | Narrows the search. |
| Arresting agency | Shows whether PCCF, police, court, or DA may hold the record. |
| Docket number | Links the booking to the court case. |
| Segregable portions | Preserves access if part of the record is exempt. |
Mugshot Display Time
Plymouth County did not publish a roster retention period because no official roster or photo gallery was located. Do not assume a 24-hour, 72-hour, current-custody-only, or after-release display rule. Ask the RAO whether a booking photograph is retained and releasable for the date at issue.
What is public: A booking photo may be requested, but the agency can redact, withhold, charge allowed fees, say it has no responsive record, or direct the requester to another office.
Booking Photo Request Wording
A good Plymouth County mugshot request should avoid vague wording. Ask for the "booking photograph" and "booking/intake sheet" for a named person, then give the booking date, arrest date, arresting agency, date of birth if known, and docket number if available. Ask for electronic delivery if possible. Ask the RAO to provide segregable portions if any part of the record is exempt. That wording helps preserve access to non-exempt fields even when the agency redacts private, investigative, CORI, juvenile, medical, or safety-sensitive material.
Massachusetts public-records guidance does not require a special form. A written request is still the stronger route because it creates a record for timing, fee, denial, and appeal issues. The sheriff's public-records page names Jessica Kenny as the Plymouth County Sheriff's Office Records Access Officer, so requests for PCCF-created booking photos should start there rather than with a private mugshot website.
Mugshot Removal and Court Records
No Plymouth-specific sheriff policy was located for removing a booking photo from third-party mugshot publishers. Do not pay or rely on commercial mugshot sites. If a photo came from a government record, ask the releasing agency about its record policy and use the court process for sealing or expungement when eligible. The court-records-after-arrest page explains how charges, dispositions, sealing, and expungement differ from jail booking data.
A dismissal, amended charge, not-guilty result, or CWOF does not automatically erase every record that was created after arrest. Court access, CORI dissemination, sheriff records, police records, and private copies can follow different rules. When a court order seals or expunges a record, provide the order to the agency that released or holds the record and ask how it will update its files.
Federal and ICE Photos
BOP and ICE locators are not public mugshot galleries. BOP covers federal sentenced inmates from 1982 to present, and ICE ODLS covers immigration custody. PCCF's ICE/DHS page says ICE detainees are adult men housed separately, with the Boston ICE Field Office and PCCF routes available for detention questions, but ODLS does not function as a booking-photo source.
If a person was arrested in Plymouth County but later moved into DOC, ICE, or federal custody, the booking-photo request still depends on which agency created or kept the photograph. Start with PCCF only when PCCF booked or held the person, then use court, police, DOC, ICE, or federal channels when the record belongs elsewhere.
