How to Find an Inmate at Crawford County Jail
Members of the public can find an inmate by using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. County jail rosters typically list the person’s name, booking date, charges, bond information when available, and current custody status. New bookings are not always searchable right away because intake, identification, and record entry can take several hours. If the person was recently arrested and does not appear in the roster, check again later or contact the facility for current custody information. Records may also change as charges are updated, bond is posted, or the person is released or transferred.
