Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Bullock Correctional Facility
To find someone held at the facility, use the official inmate search link available on this page. State prison inmate searches and jail rosters usually list basic custody information such as the person’s name, identification number, booking or admission date, charges or conviction information, and current custody status. Records may not appear immediately after an arrest, transfer, or admission because intake and data entry can take several hours. If the person was just arrested in Bullock County, check with the local sheriff’s office or county jail first, since pretrial detainees are usually held locally before any state prison placement.
