Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at South Boise Women's Correctional Center
To find someone held here, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or offender search. Inmate records typically list the person’s name, ID number, booking or admission date, charges or offense information, location, and custody status when available. Records are not always searchable right away; booking, transport, and intake processing can take several hours, and a new record may not appear immediately. If the person was just arrested in Ada County, also check the county jail roster because newly arrested people are usually processed there before any transfer to state custody.
