How to Find an Inmate at Prowers County Jail

Members of the public can look for an inmate by using the official inmate search link provided on this page for the facility’s roster. County jail rosters typically list basic custody information such as the person’s name, booking date, listed charges, bond information when available, and current custody status. Records are usually added after the booking and intake process is completed, which can take several hours, so a newly arrested person may not appear immediately. If the person is not listed, check again later or contact the sheriff’s office or jail staff for current custody information.
