Humboldt County Jail Bookings and Releases Recorded for March 29

Four felony charges and 11 misdemeanors appeared in the Humboldt County Correctional Facility's daily booking sheet for March 29, with no infractions recorded among the day's intake, according to the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office booking data published that morning.

The sheet, released by the Sheriff's Office as part of its standard daily transparency practice, lists individuals booked into the jail or placed into a supervised release program over the 24-hour period. Kym Kemp's Redheaded Blackbelt, which routinely republishes the official log for public access, posted the multi-page PDF with the standard note that all individuals listed should be presumed innocent until proven guilty.

The record reflects only that each person was processed into the county correctional system at the time indicated, not that charges have been proven. Typical entries in these daily logs span a wide range of allegations, from driving under the influence and drug-related offenses to warrant holds and probation violations, and the sheet may also reflect supervised releases or citations issued in lieu of custody.

The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office compiles and uploads these booking PDFs every morning to the county's jail reports page, where date-stamped files are publicly archived. The records serve journalists, defense attorneys, family members and the general public tracking custody activity at the correctional facility on Correctional Center Road.

Community advocates have at times raised concerns about routine publication of booking data before cases are adjudicated, arguing the practice risks stigmatizing people whose charges are later reduced or dismissed. The county continues the practice under public records standards, and the Sheriff's custody services division maintains the archive as the authoritative source for verifying individual entries.
