Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Perry County Jail
Members of the public can look for someone in custody by using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility roster. Jail rosters typically list an inmate’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 a person was just arrested and does not appear in the roster, check again later or contact the facility for current custody information. Records can change as charges are updated, bond is posted, or an inmate is released or transferred.
