Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Augusta State Medical Prison
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link available on this page. Inmate records typically list basic identifying information, current location, custody status, sentence or offense information, and related dates; county jail rosters may also show booking date and charges. Records are not always searchable immediately after a person is taken into custody because intake and processing can take several hours. If the person was recently arrested in Richmond County, they may first appear in a county jail system before any transfer to a state facility is reflected.
