Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Union County Jail
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. County jail rosters typically list basic booking information such as the inmate’s name, booking date, charges, bond information if available, and current custody status. Records do not always appear immediately after an arrest because booking, identification, and data entry can take several hours. If a person is not listed, check again later or contact the facility for current custody information. Some records may be withheld or delayed because of release, transfer, court action, or administrative review.

What happens during the intake process at Union County Jail and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff typically verify identity, record charges, complete screening, inventory property, and assign housing. Records may take several hours to appear in the public roster, so an inmate may not be searchable immediately after arrest.
