Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Baldwin State Prison
Members of the public can use the official inmate search link on this page to look for a person held at the facility. Inmate roster and offender search records typically list basic details such as the person’s name, identification number, booking or admission date, charges or offenses, facility location, and custody status. New records do not always appear immediately after booking or transfer because processing, identity verification, and data entry can take several hours. If a person was just arrested in Baldwin County, check the local county jail first, because state prison records usually apply to sentenced inmates already transferred to Georgia Department of Corrections custody.
