Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Southern State Correctional Facility (SSCF)
The public can look for someone in custody by using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. Inmate rosters typically list basic custody information such as the person’s name, booking or admission date, charges or holding reason, and current custody status. Records are not always visible right away after an arrest or transfer. Intake, identification, and data entry can take several hours, so a new booking may not appear immediately. If the person is not listed, check again later or contact the facility or Vermont Department of Corrections for guidance.
