Normally you just call the jail.  Just tell them you are looking for someone you believe to be in their custody.  They will ask for a name and tell you yes or no.  They will normally also tell you if the person is waiting to be sentenced or if they have been sentenced, etc.

Well here in *** where I work for our court services department you just call the jail and see if the person is in custody.  If you are curious about court dates you can call the courthouse and ask for that persons next court hearings.

If he is a federal inmate then you can go to the Bureau of Prisons and use their inmate locate to see the most recent information about them, including their release date.  If it is a local or state inmate you would either need to call the facility they are at or find the facilities website on the Internet.

Everything said before is right.  But consider\n(1) Are these people in county jail (typically for sentences for less than a year), in state prison (typically for sentences in state court for more than a year) or federal prison (typically for sentences in FEDERAL court for offenses).\n(2) If you do not know, start with the federal locator that someone has linked to above( because it's nationwide) and if you have no luck, then try your state system.

Call the jail, and ask for central booking.  They will tell you if a "name" is listed on the register.

go to your county website and look under jail.  Most counties have inmates listed online now.

Many states have web site for their Department of Corrections.  It will usually have a search option to look up current and past inmates.\n\nMost county jails are not going to have this information on their website.  It is too labor intensive to keep it current.  They will have automated phone system for you to access inmate information if you have the booking number for the inmate.

If he's in a county lockup, call the jail or the DAs office for release information.\nIf he's in a state facility, search for the Department of Corrections in your state, then look on the DOC page for an inmate search ot inmate lookup\n\nIf he's in a Federal facility search here http://www.bop.gov/iloc2/LocateInmate.jsp

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.

Go to www.ask.com and type in the words "inmate search". Then put what state he is incarcerated in.
