How to Find an Inmate at Wayne County Correctional Facility

County jail rosters typically list basic custody information such as the inmate’s name, booking date, charges, bond or bail information when available, and current custody status. New booking records are not always searchable right away because intake, verification, and data entry can take several hours. If a person was just arrested and does not appear in the system, check again later or contact the facility for guidance on custody status.
