How we source figures
Every factual value on this site carries a named publisher and a link to the official source. Where an official figure is not published, we say so instead of estimating.
- Corrections agencies, courts and sheriffs' offices are linked at their official domains.
- Statutory references link to the official state code or legislature site.
- Population figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau and state the vintage.
What we do not publish
We do not publish individual criminal records, mugshot galleries, or third-party people-search data. We do not publish reviews, ratings, testimonials or credentials we cannot verify, and we do not run a phone hotline.
Editorial responsibility
Pages are written and reviewed by the InmateSearch.co Editorial Team. We do not attribute content to individuals whose credentials we cannot substantiate, so the byline is organisational rather than personal.
How the site is funded
Some links are affiliate links and we may be paid when you use them. That is disclosed next to the link and in the footer of every page. Advertising has no influence on what we publish or how we describe it.
Corrections
If a page is wrong, tell us the URL and the correction and we will fix or remove it.
Frequently asked questions
Who publishes InmateSearch.co?
InmateSearch.co is an independent publisher. We are not a government agency, a law firm, a bail bondsman or a lender, and we are not affiliated with any sheriff's office, court or department of corrections.
Where do the figures on this site come from?
Every figure carries a named publisher and a link to the official source. Population data comes from the U.S. Census Bureau. Corrections agency details come from the agencies themselves. Where an official figure is not published, the page says so instead of estimating.
Do you publish individual criminal records or mugshots?
No. We link to the official rosters that counties and states publish, but we do not republish individual records, booking photographs or third-party people-search data.
