The Colorado Department of Corrections maintains a searchable public database of all of the inmates they have in custody.
The prison that an inmate is assigned to depends on factors such as security classification, remaining time of their sentence, gang affiliation, and location of their residence.
The Colorado State Prison System began in 1868, when the Territorial Legislature first authorized the state to lock up prison convicts.
Today the state of Colorado Prison System maintains 21 prisons, two of which are privately run. With a staff of 6,000 correctional workers, as of the end of 2023 they oversee approximately 20,000 inmates, with another 10,000 on parole, supervised release or absconded.
The following will explain the instructions, tricks and hacks you can use to find any inmate in custody with the Colorado Department of Corrections.
The Colorado Department of Corrections provides a limited amount of information you may want to know about any inmate in their system, however they do list every inmate.
To look up an inmate, you don't even need to know the spelling of their name.
How to apply for ongoing visitation and video visiting:
Complete a Visitor Application and submit per the instructions specific to the facility you are applying to visit.
VISITING APPLICATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED PER THE FACILITY-SPECIFIC VISITING INSTRUCTIONS as listed under the "Where/how to submit visiting applications" section on the page for the facility you are applying to visit.
Facility-specific pages may be found under the "Facilities" menu which may be found at https://cdoc.colorado.gov/facilities.
**A copy of a valid, unexpired government issued photo ID needs to be submitted with the visiting application; the address on the photo ID must match the address on the visiting application or your application may be denied.**
**PLEASE NOTE: All visitors are responsible for knowing and abiding by all visiting rules and policies as outlined in Administrative Regulation 300-01 Offender Visiting Program. Comply, or risk losing visitation.
Minors must be listed on the application of the legal guardian or immediate family member that will accompany the minor on the visit.
Minor children must be named on the Visitor Application, but will not be counted toward the twelve (12) approved visitors.

Postcards
The Adams Transitional Center allows inmates to receive pre-metered postcards like the type purchased from the post office. They may also allow certain photo postcards as long as they have not been tampered with or contain images that may be considered to be obscene or violent in nature. It is best to only use blue or black ink. Always include your name and return address.
Envelopes
The Adams Transitional Center also allows envelopes to be mailed to inmates. It is best to only use blue or black ink.
Envelopes must be white, be less than 9" x 12", commercially produced, made of tearable paper only, must not have stickers or labels or drawings on them. No glitter, paper clips or staples.
The paper must be white copy paper or white lined paper only.
In an effort to reduce the introduction of contraband into CDC facilities, inmates will only receive two sheets of 8½ x 11 inches of copy paper, which will include a copy of the envelope and three pieces of the correspondence on the four-sides of the two sheets of copy paper.
Only black and white copies will be made, and no cards, larger size paper, or anything else will be manipulated to fit on the copy paper.
Additionally, any general correspondence that exceeds these limits will be treated as contraband. The inmate will have thirty (30) days to pay for return postage or it will be destroyed.
Please write all letters in dark ink only (black or blue ink).
Do not use pencils or yellow markers because it will reduce image quality. Note the examples below that illustrate copy quality when using ink versus pencil.

State Inmate
Most states have Department of Corrections websites that allow you to type in a felon's first and last name and pull up inmates in that state.
If you need to find a sentenced inmate serving time in a state other than Colorado, go here. To find an inmate in Colorado, just scroll to the top of the page and click on the Inmate Search button.
Once you locate them click next to the inmate's name or on the link provided and it will show you which prison the inmate is housed in. If the inmate is no longer incarcerated, but is on parole/probation or discharged, it will tell you that as well. In addition, many state prison inmate pages show recent mug shots.
Federal Inmate
The federal prison system has its own inmate locator called the Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator.
Type in the inmate's name and it will tell you where he or she is incarcerated and their projected release date. It also lists released federal prison inmates and the date they were released.
Federal inmates who are moved from one prison to another will show as "No longer in federal custody" on the system until they reach their next federal prison destination. This movement can take a few days to several months to complete, so keep checking back to find out where the inmate was taken.
ICE Inmates
The ICE Detainee Lookup allows friends, family members and interested parties to locate illegal and/or undocumented immigrants that are in the United States without permission.
Has the Inmate been recently arrested?... Try a County Jail
In many cases, the person you are looking for has either not been convicted or sentenced or has been sentenced and is awaiting transport to a State or Federal Prison and is still incarcerated in a City or County Jail.
To locate that person, go here to first find the State, and then the County where they were originally arrested or have been transported to. From there you can begin your search in our databases that contain the names and information of millions of inmates.
Jailexchange.com has all information on every jail and prison in the United States.
