How to Find an Inmate at Putnamville Correctional Facility
To find someone at Putnamville Correctional Facility, use the official inmate search link available on this page. Inmate search records and rosters typically list details such as the person’s name, identification number, booking or reception date if available, charges or offenses, facility location, and custody status. For state prison records, some information may appear as commitment or sentence information rather than a county booking entry. Records may not appear immediately after arrival because intake and processing can take several hours or longer. If a person was recently arrested in Putnam County, also check the county jail or contact the arresting agency, because new pretrial detainees are usually held locally before any state prison transfer.
