Looking for California prison inmates is somewhat a struggle unless you know where to look. Some inmates are transferred and often their transfer paperwork isn't updated in a timely manner leaving the relatives to fear worry and fear the worst. Communication is key to staying together as a family, and being in California prison often makes family time impossible. So we put together a free inmate search site that helps families in California reconnect.

Jail Guide also offers a prison locator for any prison in the world. If you know someone who is locked up abroad you can easily choose the country where you think someone is being detained and start your search.
