How to Find an Inmate at Eastern Shore Regional Jail
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility roster. Jail rosters typically list basic custody information such as the inmate’s name, booking date, charges, bond information when available, and current custody status. Records are not always searchable immediately after an arrest because intake, identification, and data entry can take several hours. If the person does not appear right away, check again later or contact the facility during normal public information hours. Information can change as charges, court dates, bond status, or housing status are updated.
