If you’re trying to locate someone and think they might be in jail, you first want to start with a call to the local sheriff’s office. You can determine if someone has been recently arrested or is potentially awaiting trial. If they can’t assist you, directly, they should be able to tell you how to find someone in jail for their jurisdiction.
A person may be kept in a local jail before transferring to a county jail, state prison, or federal prison. Some states also offer arrest records online so you can check for people that were recently put in jail.
If you believe someone is in jail, the Department of Corrections for most states offer a free inmate search by name.

We provide direct links for all state DOC inmate locator services in the US with detailed instructions on how to use them.
A federal inmate search can be done through a Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) database search. You will need a full name and can narrow down the search by age, race, and sex.
