The roster shows current inmates only. When someone is released or transferred, their record comes off the public list. For records of people who are no longer in custody, you will need to contact the sheriff's office through other channels.
Pawnee County is a smaller county, so the jail population tends to be lower than what you see in places like Tulsa or Oklahoma County. That said, the booking process is the same. Every person brought in gets a booking report with their name, charges, date and time of arrest, and bond amount. These records are all public.
