Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at San Carlos Correctional Facility
The public can look up an inmate using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or locator. Inmate search records typically list the person’s name, identification number, current facility, custody status, booking or admission date, and listed charges or sentence information when available. Records may not appear immediately after a person is booked, transferred, or admitted because processing, identity verification, and data entry can take several hours. If the person does not appear right away, check again later or contact the facility or the Colorado Department of Corrections for guidance. For recent arrests in Pueblo County, also check the local county jail roster because new pretrial detainees are usually processed through the county jail first.
