The DOC locator covers more than 36,000 incarcerated individuals across 24 State Correctional Institutions. It is updated daily and requires no registration. Enter the person's last name to begin. For common surnames, add a first name to narrow results. Searching by inmate number gives a direct match if you have that information.
Results show full name, date of birth, inmate number, current facility, and committing county. Click the inmate number to view a full profile with photo, physical description, and aliases. Click the facility name to reach that SCI's page. Apply the committing county filter and select Crawford County to limit results to people whose cases originated here. Additional filters let you refine by gender, race, approximate age, citizenship, and projected release date.
The locator also covers parolees still under active supervision. Use the parolee search option to find Crawford County individuals released from state prison who remain on parole.
