How to Find an Inmate at New Castle Correctional Facility
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or the Indiana Department of Correction offender search. Online rosters typically list the inmate’s name, identification number, booking or admission date when available, charges or offenses, facility location, and custody status. Records are not always searchable immediately after arrest, booking, or transfer. Processing can take several hours, and updates may depend on court, jail, or state correctional staff entering the information. If a person does not appear right away, check again later or contact the facility or the agency that made the arrest.
