If you don't know where they may be locked up, try searching at http://corrections.utah.gov/\n\nThey may not let you search for offender information, but they do list the contact information of every corrections facility in Utah. With a few calls, you should be able to find the person you are looking for, \n\nGood luck in your search.

I'd call one of two numbers, (540)245-5338, which is for the jail, ask them directly, or (540)245-5333 which is for the sheriff.  123 people in two departments between enforcement and corrections departments.  I saw no mention of a website for the jail, but I did learn it is under the sheriff, and a new jail is under construction.  I know this is not the answer you want, but this is all that could be found.

Most states have websites with people detained within them.  Go on the Internet and do a general search "Inmate Search".  Find your state and type the name, if you know their Jail number it will be easier.  Hope this helps you out.  Use the source listed below.

Call the Clerks Office where the inmate has charges.  Usually that info is public info.

Call the agency that had the warrant(s) on the person to see if he/she is incarcerated. Ask to speak to someone in detention, then just ask if the person is there. If the person is in prison, you can search online. Many states have a Department of Corrections website that can be used to search for past and present offenders. They usually have a picture of the prisoner and a list of what he/she was convicted for, when he/she started the sentence and when he/she is up for parole, parole review, or release. Just search for "state + department of corrections." Hope this helps.

Go to your State Dept. of Corrections, the best I have found is the "Kool" write in the spaces the name you are searching for and click search if they are an inmate in prison this site is good. If they are in jail, then search for that Jail in your county or state and do your search by them, but in jail you may or may not be able to recieve a mug shot according to your state restrictions.

If you are looking for someone in particular try OTIS. You can get to it from Michigan's home page. All you do it input the name and other details and it will tell you what prison they are in, the length of the sentence, the crime, and even if they have been released.

With their name and the jail they are supposedly in you may be able to find out.\n\nhttp://www.ancestorhunt.com/prison_search.htm\n\nOn this page you can scroll down and search prisons by state. You may also search by county. Just look at the menu on the top right hand side and click on the search by county line. Then scroll down further and find the state and it's counties listed. If you need help, let me know. Good luck.

PHONE THE PRISON AND ASK

the answers given so far are the best way. If you can not call person home, call the branch of law enforcement whom you think arrested this person. If that is not feasible either you can look to see if the county has a website and check there. My county does have one and they post every day who is arrested and what for. Also the police here have one too.
