How to Find an Inmate at Felmers O. Chaney Correctional Center
Members of the public can use the official inmate search link on this page to look for someone assigned to the facility. Inmate search records and rosters typically list a person’s name, identification number, booking or admission date when available, charges or offense information, and custody status or current location. For state correctional centers, the record may focus on DOC status and facility assignment rather than local jail booking details. New records may take several hours to process and may not appear immediately after booking, transfer, or intake. If the person does not appear right away, check again later or contact the appropriate records office.

Bail is generally set by a court, not by the facility. Because this is a state correctional center for sentenced inmates, bond may not apply unless the person has a separate pending case or hold; contact the court or local records office for bond instructions.
What happens during the intake process at Felmers O. Chaney Correctional Center and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff confirm identity, review paperwork, inventory property, assign housing, and complete medical or security screening. Search records may take several hours to update, so the inmate may not appear in the system immediately after arrival or transfer.
