Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Livingston 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 custody information such as the person’s name, booking date, charges, housing or custody status, and sometimes scheduled release or court information. Records are not always searchable immediately after an arrest because booking, identification, medical screening, and data entry can take several hours. If a person does not appear right away, check again later or contact the facility directly for current custody information. Information can change as charges, court orders, bail, or release status are updated.
