HHCC Release Records

Herbert Hughes Releases

Herbert Hughes Correctional Center is one of the three adult jail facilities operated by the Imperial County Sheriff's Office Corrections Division. The sheriff's corrections page identifies HHCC as a dormitory-style facility with 314 beds and describes its connection to sentenced persons, program participation, kitchen assignments, education, tablets for requests and family contact, and eligible in-person visitation. Those details make HHCC different from RADF, which is the initial medical and classification point, and from OFDF, the newer medium-security facility.

A release from HHCC is still an Imperial County jail release. The next destination depends on the case. A person may leave after a local sentence, court release, bond, time served, dismissal, or a probation-related custody term. A person may also be moved because of a hold, CDCR commitment, federal custody, ICE process, or another court order. The sheriff's release or booking summary is the county record that says what happened at the end of HHCC custody. The court case then explains the sentence, disposition, credits, or order behind it.

Note: HHCC program details help identify the facility, but the release reason must come from records, VINE, or the court case.

Confirm an HHCC Release

The correct release-search route for HHCC is the county jail route. Start with the Imperial County Sheriff's Office because HHCC is not a CDCR institution and does not have a separate public release archive in the research. No official sheriff web page was found that publishes a rolling 24-hour or 72-hour release list. The practical chain is the sheriff app or jail information, California VINE, a Booking Summary Request, and the public court case. The 24-Hour Release List page explains the absence of a public web feed in more detail.

1. Check whether the person is still in current custody through sheriff jail information or the official app if available.
2. Use California VINE for custody status and release or transfer notifications.
3. Request a booking summary through the sheriff's Records Division forms when a written release record is needed.
4. Search the Superior Court ROA/Case Lookup to see whether sentence, dismissal, bail, or a court order explains the release.
5. If the record shows PRCS, probation, parole, federal, or ICE movement, switch to that agency after documenting the county release.

HHCC Records and Contact

HHCC shares the Imperial County jail records path. The sheriff lists Jail and Inmate Information at (442) 265-2266 and Records at (442) 265-2125. Records and Civil Division hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed weekends and holidays, at 328 Applestill Road in El Centro. Legal mail and jail mail routing in the research points to the Imperial County Jail address at 1328 Sperber Road, El Centro, CA 92243.

A focused request works best. Ask for the booking summary or release record for the HHCC custody event, including the release date, release type, booking number, court case number, holds, and transfer destination if any. If the person was released to probation or mandatory supervision, the court case may provide the most durable public explanation. Imperial County Probation notes that it does not release who is on probation to the general public because of confidentiality limits, so the court record often carries the public-facing supervision clue.

About Herbert Hughes

The Imperial County Sheriff's Corrections page says HHCC was built in the early 1960s and named for Sheriff Herbert Hughes, who served from 1955 to 1966. It has six dormitory-style areas and 314 beds. The research links HHCC to programs and sentenced populations, including education, GED or diploma opportunities, tablets for requests and family contact, and kitchen-related assignments. Those features do not change how release records are obtained, but they explain why HHCC releases often involve sentence completion, program credit issues, probation, or court-ordered custody terms.

HHCC Program Releases

HHCC has a stronger program and sentenced-custody angle than the other two sheriff jail facilities. That matters because the release question may involve a local sentence, custody credits, probation terms, a court order, or a program assignment rather than a simple same-day booking release. The sheriff's jail page provides program context, while the release reason itself comes from the booking summary and court file. If a person was in HHCC for a local sentence, ask whether the release was sentence served, court modified, probation ordered, transferred, or affected by another hold.

Imperial County's projected release research also cautions against overgeneralizing credits. Local jail timing can involve court orders, credits, holds, and administrative processing, while state prison dates use CDCR rules. HHCC is a county facility, so a CDCR "projected release date" is not the right label unless the person later entered CDCR custody. The court case and sheriff record should be read together.

Supervision After HHCC

Many HHCC release questions turn on what happens after local custody ends. Probation, mandatory supervision, and PRCS are not the same as state parole. Imperial County Probation's Adult Services page says the agency handles adult supervision, AB 109 realignment, PRCS, and mandatory supervision. CDCR DAPO handles state parole. A person released from HHCC after a county case may report to probation, while a person transferred to or released from CDCR may report to state parole or PRCS depending on the sentence and case status.

Use the Parole & Probation page when the HHCC release record or court case mentions supervision. For public proof, start with the court disposition. For allowed case-specific questions, use the supervising agency named in the records.
