Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Keogh-Dwyer Correctional Facility
Members of the public can look for someone in custody by using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. County jail rosters typically list basic custody information such as the person’s name, booking date, charges, bond or court status when available, and whether the person is still in custody. Records do not always appear immediately after an arrest. Booking, identification, medical screening, and data entry can take several hours, so a newly booked inmate may not be searchable right away. If the person does not appear, check again later or contact the facility directly for current custody information.
