Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Wyoming Women's Center
Members of the public can use the official inmate search link on this page to look for a person in custody at the facility. Inmate rosters or locator tools typically list the person’s name, identification number, custody location, custody status, and sometimes admission or booking date and offense information. Records may not appear immediately after a person is transferred or received because intake processing and data updates can take several hours. If the person was just arrested in Niobrara County, check with the local jail or sheriff first, because this facility primarily holds sentenced state inmates rather than newly booked pretrial detainees.

How is bail set and how do I post bond at Wyoming Women’s Center?
Because this is a state prison, most people held here are already sentenced and do not have bail set through the facility. If the person has a pending case or bond issue, contact the court, the county jail that handled the arrest, or the person’s attorney for instructions.
What happens during the intake process at Wyoming Women’s Center and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff verify identity, review records, assign housing, complete health and security screening, and enter information into the custody system. Search results may take several hours or longer to update after arrival or transfer, so the inmate may not appear immediately.
