How to Search for an Inmate in Craighead County

The official inmate search tool for Craighead County is the Craighead County Sheriff Inmate Search. This is a free government-operated service. Never pay a third-party website for inmate information available for free from the official county source.

  1. 1
    Open the official inmate search portal

    Go to https://www.craigheadcounty.org/sheriff/corrections/inmate-search in your web browser. This is the official Craighead County Sheriff Inmate Search operated by Craighead County. It is completely free. Do not pay any third-party website — the official search costs nothing.

  2. 2
    Complete any security verification

    Some official portals require a CAPTCHA or verification checkbox before searching. Complete this if prompted — it is a standard government security measure.

  3. 3
    Enter the person's information

    The Craighead County Sheriff Inmate Search allows you to search by: full name, booking number, date of birth. Enter the person's full legal last name. Adding the first name significantly narrows results. Always use the full legal name, not a nickname.

  4. 4

    Click the Search or Submit button. A list of matching inmates currently in Craighead County custody will appear. Confirm the correct person by name and date of birth.

  5. 5

    Click the person's name to open their full booking record: current facility, booking number, arrest date, charges, and bail amount if set.

  6. 6
    Record the booking number

    Write down the booking number immediately. You need it to schedule visits, set up phone call accounts, send mail, deposit commissary funds, and reference the person when contacting the jail.

  7. 7
    Note the data update schedule

    The Craighead County Sheriff Inmate Search updates every 4 hours. If you searched right after an arrest, the record may not yet appear — new bookings typically take 2–8 hours to process into the system.

    The person may not be processed yet, may have been released, or may be in a city or municipal jail rather than the county facility. Call Craighead County at (870) 933-4551 for direct staff assistance.
