Hawaii Inmate Search

Hawaii
Updated on: December 27, 2023

Inmate search in Hawaii is easy through online records and databases, making it more accessible to the public.  

The first step in conducting an inmate search in Hawaii is utilizing the online database provided by the Department of Public Safety (DPS). This database covers all inmates currently or previously held in any correctional facility within the State of Hawaii and includes detailed information such as full name, race, gender, birthdate, sentence length, and even photographs. To access this database you’ll need to navigate to their website and fill out their search form. 

Once you’ve conducted a search for an inmate, you can get additional information through a variety of other sources. Additionally, there are many third-party websites that also offer comprehensive searches for inmates throughout Hawaii.  

If you’re unable to locate an inmate using online resources, then you may be able to contact the local county jail or correctional facility directly. Each county maintains its own list of incarcerated individuals so calling your local jail may provide additional information that isn’t available online. If possible, always try to get written confirmation from the facility before proceeding with any further steps.  

You can also contact the Hawaii Parole Authority if trying to find someone on parole status or awaiting release from prison. The board provides a hotline (808) 587-1300 that allows individuals searching for prisoners across all three islands within the State of Hawaii – Oahu, Maui and Big Island – to ask questions about specific cases or potential parolees within their jurisdiction. Typically they will ask for basic information such as name and date of birth when making a query over this line so make sure these details are readily available prior to making contact with them.  

Finally, if all else fails then contacting an attorney experienced with criminal law should help streamline your efforts when looking for an incarcerated individual in Hawaii.
