How to remove yourself from JailBase
JailBase aggregates county arrest records and booking photos into searchable profiles. Removal is done from the individual listing rather than a single central form. You verify the request by phone via an SMS code, then wait out a long processing window.
Arrest records, mugshot photo, name, county/jail of booking.
Why removing yourself from JailBase matters
On JailBase, anyone can look you up — often for just a few dollars — and pull arrest records, mugshot photo, name, county/jail of booking. That is more than enough to target you with spam and phishing, fuel robocalls, or in the worst cases enable stalking, doxxing or identity theft. Removing your JailBase listing cuts off one of the easiest public sources of that data about you.
Opting out of JailBase is fairly straightforward, with one extra verification step — it works via online form (per-listing) + SMS verification, and removals usually process in 5-10 min. It is free: under U.S. privacy laws JailBase has to honor opt-out requests, so never pay a "removal" fee. Have your details ready for the verification step, then re-check in a few weeks to make sure the listing stayed down.

Why does JailBase ask for my phone number?
It sends an SMS code to verify the opt-out request. Consider using a masked or secondary number, since you are handing contact details to a data broker.
Is there one form for all my listings?
No. Opt-out is per-listing, so if you appear in multiple counties or records you may need to submit a separate request for each.
