How to Find an Inmate at California State Prison (COR)
Members of the public can use the official inmate search link available on this page to look for a person housed at the facility. State prison inmate records typically list the inmate’s name, CDCR number, age, current location, custody status, and possible release or parole information. County jail rosters often include booking date and charges, but state prison records may focus on commitment and custody details instead. Records may take several hours or longer to appear after intake, transfer, or processing, so a person may not show up immediately. If the search does not return a result, check spelling, try again later, or contact the facility or CDCR for guidance.
