How to Find an Inmate at Five Points Correctional Facility
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or state custody lookup. Inmate records typically list identifying information such as name, identification number, custody location, custody status, and sentence or commitment details; county jail rosters may also show booking date and charges. Records do not always appear immediately after a person is booked or transferred. Processing can take several hours, and updates may be delayed while staff confirm identity, court paperwork, or custody status. If the person does not appear, check again later or contact the facility or the appropriate county jail for guidance.

What happens during the intake process at Five Points Correctional Facility and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff confirm identity, review court and transfer paperwork, assign housing, and complete security and medical screening. Records may take several hours or longer to update, so an inmate may not appear in the system immediately after arrival or transfer.
