How to Find an Inmate at Southern State Correctional Facility

Inmate rosters and custody records typically list identifying details such as the inmate’s name, booking or admission date, charges or offense information when available, facility location, and custody status. Records do not always appear immediately after an arrest or transfer because intake, identity verification, and data entry can take several hours. If a person was recently arrested in Cumberland County, they may first appear in a county jail or court system before being transferred to a state facility.
