Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Women's Center
To find someone held at the facility, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or resident lookup. Inmate rosters typically list a person’s name, booking or admission date, charges or offense information, and current custody status. Records do not always appear immediately after arrest or transfer. Processing, identity verification, and data entry can take several hours, so a newly booked person may not be searchable right away. If the person is not listed, check again later or contact the appropriate Cumberland County or Maine Department of Corrections office for guidance.
