How to Find an Inmate at Jessup Correctional Institution
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 state inmate locator. Inmate records typically list identifying information such as the person’s name, commitment or booking date, charges or offense information, location, and custody status. New records do not always appear immediately after intake because processing, identity checks, and data entry can take several hours. If a person was just arrested, they may first appear in a local detention center record before being transferred to state custody.
