Check state’s websites
There is no doubt about the reliability and authenticity of the above mentioned sites but if you want to cross check the information, you can always check it with the website of the state in which the prisoner is being kept. Nevertheless, if the above mentioned sites do not help, you can easily track the inmate down by checking the website of the relevant state. For this, you will have to enter inmate’s first name, last name and the state in which he/she is kept as a prisoner. If you are not sure about the state of the inmate, you will have to check with the websites of all states one by one. -
