Massachusetts Inmate Search

Updated on: February 22, 2024

The Massachusetts Department of Correction (MADOC) oversees the state's correctional system. If you're looking to locate an inmate in Massachusetts, you can start by using the MADOC's Inmate Locator tool, which allows you to search for an inmate by name or inmate ID number.

To use the MADOC Inmate Locator tool:

  1. Visit the MADOC website at https://www.mass.gov/how-to/find-an-inmate-in-a-massachusetts-prison.
  2. Click on the "Find an Inmate"
  3. Enter the inmate's first and last name or inmate ID number (if you have it) in the search fields.
  4. Click "Search."

The results of your search will display the inmate's full name, date of birth, race, gender, admission date, current location, and projected release date.

If the inmate you're searching for is not found in the MADOC Inmate Locator tool, it's possible that they may be incarcerated in a county jail instead. In this case, you can try contacting the county sheriff's office for assistance in locating the inmate.

To locate an inmate in a Massachusetts county jail, you can try visiting the website of the county sheriff's office in the county where the inmate is believed to be incarcerated. Most county sheriff's offices have an inmate search tool on their website that allows you to search for an inmate by name or inmate ID number. If you are unable to find the information you need online, you can contact the county sheriff's office directly for assistance.
