Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Green River Correctional Complex
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 offender search. Inmate listings typically include the person’s name, inmate or booking number, booking or admission date, charges or offense information, sentence details when available, and custody status. Records do not always appear immediately after someone is received; processing, identification, and data entry can take several hours. If the person was just arrested in Muhlenberg County, first check the appropriate county jail roster, because state prison records usually apply to sentenced inmates already transferred to state custody.
FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at Green River Correctional Complex?

How does the commissary work?
Commissary allows inmates to buy approved items such as snacks, hygiene products, and writing supplies. Family members can usually deposit funds through an approved payment service, but limits and fees may apply.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at Green River Correctional Complex?
Bail is set by a court for people with pending criminal cases, usually while they are held in a county jail. Because the facility is a state correctional institution for sentenced inmates, bond questions should be directed to the court clerk, attorney, or county jail handling the open case.
What happens during the intake process at Green River Correctional Complex and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff verify identity, review records, assign housing, and complete medical and security screening. Search records may take several hours or longer to update, so an inmate may not appear in the system immediately after arrival.
