How to Find an Inmate at California Medical Facility (CMF)
Members of the public can look for someone housed here by using the official inmate search link available on this page. Inmate search records typically list identifying details such as name, CDCR number or booking number, custody location, custody status, and sometimes commitment or case information. For newly booked people in county custody, records may take several hours to appear because processing and data entry must be completed first. State prison records may also update on a delay after transfer, classification, or housing changes. If the person does not appear immediately, check again later or contact the facility or the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation for guidance.
