How to Find an Inmate at Federal Correctional Institution, Oakdale II
Members of the public can look for someone in custody by using the official inmate search link on this page, which should direct users to the appropriate federal inmate locator or roster. Jail rosters commonly list a person’s name, booking date, charges, and custody status; federal records may instead show the inmate’s register number, age, sex, release date, and current facility. New records do not always appear immediately after arrest or transfer. Processing, identity checks, and data entry can take several hours, and federal transfer information may take longer to update. If the person does not appear, check again later and verify the spelling of the name or use the inmate register number if available.
