WriteAPrisoner.com - Prisoner Inmate
Locator
WriteAPrisoner.com has compiled all of
its data on locating inmates in this section. You can search
the Department of Corrections websites for prisoners in many
of the states listed. If you find a problem or missing link
in the inmate look-up section, please report it so we can
update it and help our viewers locate the inmates they are
trying to find. Please note that not all state prisoners can
currently be searched for. We will add information on
locating inmates to this section as it becomes available
online. We are unable to help one on one with locating
prisoners. All information is made available here in our
Inmate Prisoner Locator section.
NOTICE: This section is
designed to help you find and search for all inmates
incarcerated. This is not where we place inmate profiles.
You can find those here:
Inmate Profiles.
TIPS FOR LOCATING INMATES:
1) Before beginning your search, determine whether the
prisoner is a state or federal inmate. You can easily
identify federal inmates by their identification number,
which is always in the five-number-dash-three-number format
(12345-678). You call also identify federal inmates by the
facility name: FCC - Federal Correctional Complex; FCI -
Federal Correctional Institution; FMC - Federal Medical
Center; FPC - Federal Prison Camp; FTC - Federal Transfer
Center; MCC - Metropolitan Correctional Center; MCFP -
Medical Center for Federal Prisoners; MDC - Metropolitan
Detention Center; USP - U.S. Penitentiary.
2) If possible, narrow down your search results by providing
additional details about the inmate such as age, race,
gender, etc.
3) Keep in mind that some Department of Corrections oversee
facilities that are located in other states. For example,
Great Plains Correctional Facility in Oklahoma is directed
by the Arizona Department of Corrections, so in order to
find an inmate located in this particular facility, you need
to search from the Arizona's DOC site rather than from the
Oklahoma site.
4) Some states allow you to search for currently
incarcerated individuals as well as previously released
felons. Be sure to identify the inmate's incarceration
status, when applicable.
5) It is possible for an inmate to be listed under a name
other than his/her legal name. This usually occurs due to a
processing entry error at the time of booking, because an
alias was used, or if the individual changes his/her name
during incarceration.
6) If the inmate is located in a Department of Corrections
that does not offer an online inmate lookup, you can contact
the DOC directly by phone or mail to obtain public
information.
7) Keep in mind that newly incarcerated individuals may not
appear in the search results. The same is true if an inmate
has been transferred to a new facility, especially when
he/she is moved from one state to another or from a federal
to state institution.
8) If you cannot find the inmate you are looking for using
the links provided, we also recommend searching the
VINElink database.
9) To find prisoners located outside of the U.S., please visit our
International Inmate Locator.
