How to Find an Inmate at Robinson Correctional Center
Members of the public can look for someone housed here by using the official inmate search link available on this page. Inmate records generally list the person’s name, identification number, custody location, admission or booking-related dates, offense information, and custody status when available. Records do not always appear immediately after a person is transferred or admitted; processing can take several hours or longer before the information becomes searchable. If the person was recently arrested in Crawford County, first check with the local county jail or sheriff’s office, because newly arrested pretrial detainees are usually held at a county facility before any state prison transfer.
