How to Find an Inmate at Suwannee Correctional Institution
To find an inmate here, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or offender search. Inmate search records typically list identifying details such as the person’s name, booking or admission date, charges or offense information, and custody status. State prison records may also show a Department of Corrections number, current facility, sentence information, and release date if available. Records do not always appear immediately after booking, transfer, or intake because processing and data entry can take several hours or longer. If the person was recently arrested in Suwannee County, also check the county jail roster because new detainees may be held locally before any state prison placement.
