Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Perry County Jail
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. County jail rosters typically list basic booking information such as the inmate’s name, booking date, charges, bond information if available, and current custody status. Records do not always appear immediately after an arrest because the person must first be processed, identified, and entered into the jail system. This can take several hours, and records may update throughout the day. If the person does not appear in the roster right away, check again later or contact the facility directly for current custody information.
