Steps For Locating An Inmate Using Our Locator Tool

We make locating an inmate easy, and we’ll walk you through the entire process. The more information you have about the inmate, the easier the search will be. However, we can often help you find an inmate even if you have limited information about their whereabouts.

You will need at least a first and last name to start your search. If you know the state in which the inmate is located, this will help a great deal in your search because it allows you to narrow down the potential results. Most state prison systems have an online database that allows you to search for someone who is in custody. Similarly, the Federal prison system also publishes this information, so your search should return the inmate whether they are in state or Federal custody.

If the inmate has a name that is common, your search might return multiple results. You can click on the details of each result to help you determine whether that is the person you are looking for. You should be able to see additional details, such as the charges against them, their arrest date, and maybe even a booking photo.

If your search does not return any results, it is possible that the inmate might be in a city or county jail instead of a state or Federal prison facility. Most inmates convicted of a felony will be in state or Federal custody, while an inmate who is convicted of a simple misdemeanor may be housed for a short period of time in a city jail. In that case, we can help you locate the facility in which the person is located so that you can call the facility and locate the inmate. If you know the city or county in which they were arrested, that can help you greatly narrow down the facilities in those locations.

Helpful Inmate Resources

Not only can we help you locate an inmate, but we are also here to provide you with many other resources. Many people have questions about how they can visit an inmate, how to write to an inmate, or how to add money to an inmate’s commissary account. We can answer all those questions for you. You will find some general guidelines below, but you can also visit the specific facility page to get more detailed information.

Visitation

Most facilities allow visitation, although you will usually need to be on the approved list and have a valid photo ID. You may not bring cell phones, food, drinks, or any contraband into prison facilities. Lastly, most facilities adhere to a strict dress code for visitors, which means that you cannot wear revealing, see-through, or suggestive clothing.

Phone Calls

Phones are usually available to inmates at most detention centers, although phone calls must be paid for by the inmate or the recipient of the call. Calls are generally limited to 30 minutes or less, and the calls may be limited to even shorter durations during busy times.

Sending Money to an Inmate

If you wish to send money to an inmate, the best way to do so is usually through Western Union or MoneyGram. Some facilities can also accept deposits in-person during visitation hours. You should bring a money order to the facility and make sure that you include the inmate’s full name.

Rehabilitation Programs

Most prison facilities offer substance abuse programs, educational programs, and vocational programs to inmates. These programs exist to help inmates rehabilitate before being released. Participation in these programs is usually voluntary, although completion of some of these programs can greatly increase an inmate’s odds of success after their release.
