How to Find an Inmate at Long State Prison
To find an inmate at Long State Prison, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or state offender search. Inmate records typically list identifying details such as name, inmate number, location, sentence information, charges or offense information, and custody status.

After an inmate is booked, processed, or moved, it can take several hours or longer for records to update and become searchable. If a person does not appear right away, check again later or contact the facility or the Georgia Department of Corrections for guidance.
