Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Pine Hills Correctional Facility
Public inmate rosters usually list basic custody information such as a person’s name, booking date, charges, and current custody status. For this facility, public information may be limited because some placements involve youth or state custody records, and not all records are posted like a county jail roster. After a booking or transfer, processing can take several hours, so a record may not appear immediately. Use the official inmate search link available on this page to check the facility’s roster or available custody search. If no result appears, contact the facility or the Montana Department of Corrections for guidance.
