How to Find an Inmate at Giles W. Dalby Correctional Institution
To find someone held at Giles W. Dalby Correctional Institution, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. Inmate rosters typically list the person’s name, booking or intake date, charges or holding agency, and current custody status.

If the person is not listed, check again later or contact the facility for guidance. Some detainees may be listed through a federal holding agency rather than a county roster, depending on who has custody of the case.

What happens during the intake process at Giles W. Dalby Correctional Institution and when will the inmate appear in the system?
