Official links reduce confusion
Official lookup pages are still agency-controlled and can be hard to understand, but they are the safer starting point than search-result pages designed to capture personal details.
Safety guide
Official Inmate Lookup Safety
A lookup page should help you verify the right source. It should not push you into extra personal details, background-report funnels, or a rushed money decision.
Source-first page
Official links come first. InmateLink sends you to the agency or service page and does not run searches, create accounts, or handle money here.
Official links first
Open the source before you act
Links open outside InmateLink. Verify current details directly with the agency, court, facility, or service page.

Next-step checklist
Slow down and check these first
- 1Start with an official agency, facility, court, or corrections link.
- 2Check the agency name, web address, and jurisdiction before entering details.
- 3Avoid pages that ask for broad personal details when an official link is available.
- 4Do not pay a third-party site just to route to a public agency link.
- 5If a result is missing or unclear, verify directly with the official agency.
- 6Do not share sensitive details in texts, social posts, or unofficial forms.
What InmateLink does not collect
InmateLink does not ask you to enter names into an official system, does not run a lookup on your behalf, and does not store individual custody records from official pages.
When a link is down or confusing
Use the agency home page, call the facility, or check the related city, county, state, or federal link. Do not keep entering details into unrelated search pages.

What should I do if an official link is down?
