New London County Inmate Search & Arrest Records

The official inmate search tool for New London County is the Connecticut DOC Inmate Information (State System). This is a free, government-operated service. Never pay a third-party website for inmate information available at no cost from the official county source.

1. 1
   Open the official inmate search portal

   Go to https://www.ctinmateinfo.state.ct.us/ in your web browser. This is the official Connecticut DOC Inmate Information (State System) operated by New London County. It is completely free to use. Do not pay any third-party website — the official search costs nothing.

2. 2
   Complete any security verification

   Some official portals require you to solve a CAPTCHA or click a verification checkbox before searching. Complete this step if prompted. This is a standard security measure to prevent automated access.

3. 3
   Enter the person's information

   The Connecticut DOC Inmate Information (State System) allows you to search by: full name, inmate number, date of birth. Enter the person's full legal last name in the last name field. Adding the first name will significantly narrow your results. Use the person's full legal name — not a nickname or alias.

4. 4
   Click Search and review the results

   Click the Search or Submit button. A list of matching inmates currently in New London County custody will appear. Review results carefully and confirm the correct person by name and date of birth.

5. 5
   Click the person's name to view full booking details

   Click on the correct person's name. This opens their full booking record, which includes current facility location, booking number, arrest date, charges, and bail amount if set.

6. 6
   Write down the booking number

   The booking number is the most important piece of information. Write it down immediately. You will need it to schedule visits, set up phone accounts, send mail, and communicate with the facility.

7. 7
   Check the data freshness

   The Connecticut DOC Inmate Information (State System) updates every 24 hours. If you searched immediately after an arrest, the person may not yet appear — new bookings typically take 2 to 8 hours to become visible.

8. 8
   If no results are found

   The person may not yet be processed, may already be released, or may be in a city jail rather than a county facility. Call the New London County jail information line at (860) 692-7480 for live assistance.
