Schedules Are Not Release Times
Custer County publishes two schedules for separate functions. The sheriff webpage lists limited public-facing hours, while the records form gives a different intake schedule and a next-working-day rule for after-hours submissions. Neither schedule states when jail releases occur. Call the sheriff for current operational guidance instead of using lobby or records hours to predict an exit time.
