I'd rather not mention my county for personal privacy reasons, but I will just say the data in question is arrest/bookings/mugshots. The county uses some really unusable software to manage a "roster" of inmates, and to see arrests you have to catch it before someone is released. Even then, it's just highly difficult to use.
Here's a county that isn't mine, using the same software, so you can see what I mean:
https://www.dallascountyarsheriff.com/inmate-roster https://www.dallascountyarsheriff.com/inmate-roster
People are dropped from the roster immediately upon release.
