Maine Department of Corrections

Maine Department of Corrections manages and operates all the state prison in Maine.
To search for an inmate in Maine Department of Corrections follow the steps given below:

You can get details about incarcerated offenders in Maine correctional facilities from the inmate’s records managed by the Maine Department of Corrections (MDOC). All the records should be provided to the public according to the Maine Freedom of Information Act. Thus, you have the right to check an inmate’s status.  

Some details included in the records are the date of birth, name, charges, age, height, race, the correctional facility they are located in, and photographs. You can perform Maine inmate search from traditional government agencies or third-party websites. Third-party websites are more effective because they aren’t limited geographically.  

Maine State Prison Inmate Search  

The Maine Department of Corrections (MDOC) manages all the inmate records in the state correctional facilities. The agency offers a way for you to perform an inmate search through its Adult prisoner and probationer search tool using the inmate’s name.  

Make sure you include all the critical information on the Maine offender locator tool to get more accurate results. However, note that juvenile records are not available to the public. So, to search for a juvenile housed in the correctional facilities in Maine, you should contact the relevant authorities for your search.  

Maine County Jail Inmate Search 

Searching an inmate in Maine county jails differs from the state prison. The county sheriff’s office manages the county jails. The process of inmate search varies depending on the county where they are incarcerated. Some counties such as Cumberland, have an online publication with lists of inmates. You can use the online search list. 

For other counties, you need to call the inmate’s jail to perform the search. However, you can visit any county jail if you wish to conduct the search in person.  

You can also search for the date that the offender will be released by contacting the jail administrator or conducting an inmate search online. However, in certain situations, the information is not provided to the public, especially if the inmate’s safety is at risk. In this case, you will only find out the release date if you are an immediate family member of the inmate, a crime victim, or a lawyer.
