How to Find an Inmate at Dooly State Prison
To find an inmate at the facility, use the official inmate search link available on this page. State prison records typically list the inmate’s name, identifying number, current facility, sentence information, custody status, and sometimes offense details. County jail rosters, when applicable, often include name, booking date, charges, and custody status. Records do not always appear immediately after a person is booked or transferred; processing can take several hours, and updates may be delayed. If the person was recently arrested in Dooly County, also check with the Dooly County jail or sheriff’s office because new arrests are usually processed through the county system before any state prison transfer.

What happens during the intake process at Dooly State Prison and when will the inmate appear in the system?
