Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Southern Connecticut State University Police Jail
Inmate rosters list people currently in custody and may include the person’s name, booking date, charges, and custody status. For a campus police holding facility, records may be limited because detainees are often held only briefly before release, court appearance, or transfer. Booking information usually takes several hours to process and may not appear immediately after an arrest. To check whether someone is listed, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. If no record appears, contact the facility or check with the appropriate Connecticut court or Department of Correction facility if the person may have been transferred.
FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at Southern Connecticut State University Police Jail?
Visitation may be limited because the facility is typically used for short-term holding. Call ahead to confirm whether visits are allowed, the current schedule, and any approval requirements.
What do I need to bring when visiting Southern Connecticut State University Police Jail?
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID if visits are permitted. Leave personal items, bags, and prohibited property at home or in your vehicle unless staff tells you otherwise.
How do I make phone or video calls with an inmate?

How do I send mail to an inmate?

Bail may be set by police, a bail commissioner, or the court depending on the charge and circumstances. Contact the facility or the court clerk for the current bond amount, accepted payment methods, and where bond must be posted.
What happens during the intake process at Southern Connecticut State University Police Jail and when will the inmate appear in the system?
