When a defendant is found guilty of a crime and given a sentence that includes time spent in a correctional facility, records of the defendant are created.
In the United States, depending on the jurisdiction—a municipal, state or federal facility—administrative employees at correctional facilities in charge of convicts compile inmate records.
What website can you look up inmates?
Use InmateSearchinfo.com to locate prisoners housed in state prisons, federal prisons, county jails, the Department of Corrections, and local sheriff departments. We have provided detailed instructions on how to search for any prisoner in any US state.
To facilitate quick and simple communication, we have also provided each detention facility’s address, phone number, and fax number.
A Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) database search can be used to look up federal inmates. A full name is required, and you can focus your search on age, race, and sex.
Federal convicts freed after 1982 are listed in the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) database. The Inmate Locator can be used to learn when a prisoner was released or when their release date is anticipated.
You can ask the BOP for information under the Freedom of Information Act to find out more about a prisoner.
