Searching for Otero County Inmate

Searching for an inmate is easy and simple if you know how to do it. There are databases that are freely available online to anyone, if you know where to find them. Usually the database will only show people who are currently in custody, but some states do give you access to past and current records, allowing you to see people who were at one time in custody and have since been released.

To do a successful inmate search you will have to know a minimal amount of information. For starters you will at the very least need to know where the inmate is incarcerated, or at least the State they are serving their time. If you search through the state database and cannot find the inmate it is possible that the inmate is in either a Federal facility or they could be in a jail that is not included in the state databases. We will also show you how to search the jail databases through a single website for free.

You will need to know the name the inmate was arrested, or committed to an institution under.  Some of the databases let you do a search using an alias or partial name but for the most part a full first and last name is required.  Don’t be surprised if you search for a common name and get many results.  If this happens you will be able to filter out your inmate using the date of birth that they have listed with the information, or sometimes they will actually give you images of the inmate.

Below I have placed links to all the inmate databases.  They are organized by state, with Federal and Immigration searches on the top.  If you search and cannot find who you are looking for try searching with less input.  For example, if you are looking for John Anthony Smith and get no results you may want to redo your search using less information.  For instance, it is better to just search a first and last name, then first last and middle because the inmate may not be listed with their middle name.  If you still cannot find the inmate, try your search using an alias or with just a last name, or last name and first name initial.

Finding Inmates Who Were Recently Arrested/Inmates Who Are In Jail

  If you still cannot find your inmate, or they are not in a prison but a jail you will want to search using a website called VINELink. VINE stands for Victim Notification system, and it covers almost every state and will allow instant notification of a change to an offenders status.  You can choose to be notified if the inmate is moved, or released.  You can be notified via Text Message, Email, or Telephone.

Inmate Visiting Applications

Planning on visiting an inmate in prison, but not sure where to start?  You’ve reached the right place.  The first step for visiting any inmate is to fill out a visitors application.  We have compiled all the available applications for you right here, so you can quickly and easily access them.  Once you have filled them out, you will need to either mail them to the inmate, or the address specified within the application.  Be sure you read over the entire visitors application, and fill it out legibly and accurately.  Do not lie on the application, as it can result in you being denied visitation.

Some of the reasons you may be denied to visit with an inmate:

  • You have recently served time in a correctional facility
  • You are on probation
  • You are on bond awaiting a pending court case
  • You have a protective order against you or the inmate
  • You have an outstanding warrant
  • You are a victim of the offender
  • You have been deemed a safety or security risk

After sending in your paperwork you can expect to wait anywhere from one to six weeks for the application to be reviewed.  The fluctuation in processing time is because each visitor needs to have a background check done, and during holiday times when many people want to visit, you can expect to wait longer.  Most institutions leave it up to the inmate to inform all applicants if they have been approved or denied visitation, so don’t wait expecting to get a call or letter in the mail from the facility, you must stay in constant contact with the inmate either through the phone or through letters to learn your status.
