How to Find an Inmate at Plymouth County Jail

Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link on this page for the facility’s roster. County jail rosters typically list the inmate’s name, booking date, charges, bond information if available, and current custody status. Records usually become searchable only after the booking and intake process is completed, which can take several hours, so a recent arrest may not appear right away. If the person is not listed, check again later or contact the sheriff’s office or jail during public inquiry hours for guidance.
