Right-to-Know Requests in Monroe 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 Monroe County government agencies. This includes jail booking logs, inmate rosters, and records of released inmates to the extent they are not exempt under law. Requests are free to submit. If the agency produces records, copy costs are $0.25 per page.
To file a request in Monroe County, submit a written request to the Monroe County Open Records Officer. You may use the standard statewide form available at openrecords.pa.gov. The agency has five business days to respond. If they deny the request or fail to respond, you can appeal to the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records at openrecords.pa.gov or call (717) 346-9903.
Criminal investigative records may be withheld under the RTKL. However, booking records and general inmate roster information are typically treated as public records in Pennsylvania counties. If Monroe County denies your request, the denial notice must explain the legal basis for the exemption.
The Clean Slate Act (Act 56 of 2018) seals certain older nonviolent misdemeanor convictions from public view after a waiting period.

Expungement under 18 Pa.C.S. § 9122 can also remove records from public access entirely. These processes are handled through the court system, not the jail.
