Rhode Island Inmate Search

Rhode Island
Updated on: February 2, 2024

The state has provided a robust and thorough search tool to make the process easier and more organized. The Rhode Island Department of Corrections provides a secure inmate search database that allows users to search for individuals within their prison system.  

The first step in the process is to access the Rhode Island Inmate Search page on the Department’s website. Once there, users will find a detailed form that requires them to fill out important information about the individual they are searching for, such as name, gender, race and last known city. Depending on how specific the user’s search criteria is, they may also need to provide additional data such as ID number.  

Once all of this information has been submitted into the form – which only takes a few minutes – users can move on to reviewing their search results. Results will typically list relevant inmates currently or formerly incarcerated in Rhode Island prisons with complete details listed beside each entry. This includes personal information such as name and age but also more pertinent data regarding charges brought against them and any sentences served or paroled.  

In addition to providing this comprehensive inmate search tool, Rhode Island also offers its residents access to additional helpful tools such as a link showing all of their past inmates by a facility as well as links allowing them to view inmate release dates and court sentences from home via email notifications when changes occur in an inmate’s status. The Department of Corrections also provides lists of those individuals who have escaped from prison along with those who are eligible for parole hearings or currently up for sentence review.
