How to Find an Inmate at Pocatello Women's Correctional Cent
Members of the public can use the official inmate search link on this page to look for someone held at the facility. Inmate search records and rosters typically list the person’s name, identification number, admission or booking date, charges or offense information, facility location, and custody status. For state prison inmates, records may focus on sentence and location details rather than short-term jail booking information. New records do not always appear immediately after arrival because intake, identification, and data entry can take several hours. If the person is not listed, check again later or contact the facility or the Idaho Department of Correction for guidance.
