Information for family and friends

When a loved one becomes arrested, they are usually held in a local jail. Jails are short-term facilities, and if they are sentenced less than one year of time, then they may stay located in the same facility. Others that are sentenced to longer periods of time will be waiting in jails to be relocated into a prison which is long term facilities. Prisons hold inmates for normally longer than one year.

Families often become concerned about their loved ones when they become incarcerated. Sometimes a family member can disappear, and you may not know where to begin looking for them. One place to start searching for a loved one is the local jail, and this website can give the necessary information to family and friends if someone they know has been arrested. Everyone that is arrested has to get “booked” or registered into the system. Booking does take some time. If someone is in jail and not been recorded yet, then they may not be searchable until that process has been completed. After completion, this website will provide you with the resources to search someone that has been arrested and detained. You will need to gather necessary information about the individual such as date of birth, date they were arrested, and crime committed in order to search.

Just as an inmate has constitutional rights to medical care, sanitary living conditions, and psychological help (“Prisoners’ rights,” n.d.). Families and friends have a right to search for information about where a person is located within the correctional system. When a loved one becomes incarcerated it is your right to know where they are located. You also have rights to visitation and to addresses so that it is possible to write and keep communication lines open to them. There is several ways that you can search for an inmate you can search here for the links provided or go directly to the Harris County website: https://apps.jims.hctx.net/sopublic/
