Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Hamilton Community Based Facility/Community Work Center
Public inmate rosters and search tools typically list basic custody information such as the inmate’s name, booking or admission date, charges or conviction information, and current custody status. For this facility, records may appear through the official state or facility inmate search rather than a county jail roster. New records are not always searchable immediately after booking or transfer because intake, identification, and data entry can take several hours or longer. If the person was just arrested, also check the Marion County jail or the jail in the county where the arrest occurred. Use the official inmate search link available on this page to look for the facility’s current roster or custody record.
