How to Find an Inmate at Southern Correctional Institution
To find an inmate here, use the official inmate search link available on this page. State prison records may list the person’s name, offender number, custody status, facility location, sentence information, and projected release details. County jail rosters, when used for recent arrests, typically list name, booking date, charges, bond information, and custody status. Records do not always appear immediately after arrest, booking, or transfer; processing can take several hours, and state prison updates may take longer after a person is moved from a county jail. If you cannot find the person right away, check again later and confirm spelling, date of birth, or offender number if available.

How is bail set and how do I post bond at Southern Correctional Institution?

What happens during the intake process at Southern Correctional Institution and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff verify identity, review records, complete health and security screening, and assign housing. Records may take several hours or longer to appear or update in the public system, especially after a transfer from another facility.
