Right-to-Know Requests in Mifflin County
Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law, 65 P.S. §§ 67.101-67.3104 (Act 3 of 2008), gives the public the right to request records from government agencies, including Mifflin County. If the online portal and phone inquiry do not provide the released inmate information you need, a formal RTK request is the next step.
Submit your request to the Mifflin County Open Records Officer. Include the inmate's full name, the approximate period of custody, and the exact type of records you are requesting. Agencies must respond within five business days under the RTKL. An extension of up to 30 days is permitted with written notice. Copies cost $0.25 per page.
Use the standard RTK form at openrecords.pa.gov/RTKL/StandardRTKForm.cfm to submit your request. Be as specific as possible. If Mifflin County denies your request or does not respond in time, appeal to the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records at openrecords.pa.gov or call the OOR at 717-346-9903.
The Criminal History Record Information Act, 18 Pa.C.S. § 9121 et seq., may limit certain portions of a released inmate's records. Mifflin County will flag restricted items in its response. Records may also be sealed under the Clean Slate Act (Act 56 of 2018) or expungement provisions at 18 Pa.C.S. § 9122 if the person has met those requirements.
Note: RTK requests must ask for specific documents. General questions or requests for "any and all" records may be returned for more detail before Mifflin County can process them.
