Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Randall L. Williams Correctional Facility
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link available on this page. Inmate rosters and state custody searches typically list details such as the person’s name, identifying number, booking or admission date, charges or offense information, sentence details, and current custody status. Records may not appear immediately after arrest, transfer, or admission because processing and data entry can take several hours. If a person was recently arrested in Jefferson County but does not appear in the state search, check with the county detention center or the arresting agency, because pretrial detainees are often held locally before any state prison transfer.

How is bail set and how do I post bond at Randall L. Williams Correctional Facility?
Bail is usually set by a court for people with pending criminal cases, and bond is commonly handled through the county jail or court clerk. Because this is a state correctional facility, many inmates here are already sentenced and may not have a bond option through the facility.
What happens during the intake process at Randall L. Williams Correctional Facility and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff verify identity, review paperwork, complete health and security screening, and assign housing or custody status. Records may take several hours or longer to appear online after admission, transfer, or booking, so the inmate may not be searchable right away.
