Eventually, I did end up finding him, but only after rigorous searching. That was almost 6 years ago today. It’s not nearly as difficult to find an inmate in prison these days, let me show you how to do it.

There are several steps and info a person must gather up before beginning their investigation when looking for someone located in prison throughout the United States.

1. Find a Records Database

Once there, just type in the details of the person you're looking for and click the search button to see a list of names together with the prisons they're being held at.

The next thing you should do, is look up the person you're looking for, just type in their name and hit the big button that says search here.

The last time I did it, the site gave me a long list of inmates because of the common name that I was searching for, so I had to find out which one, if any, of the inmates was the person that I was looking for.

2. Rounding up more info, to better help with your search.

Even after you’ve got it narrowed down quite a bit, to name, race, sex and age, you’re still left with more than a few results to sift through.

What you can do to make it easier is, get more information on this person to narrow down your list more..

Gov-Resources is by far one of the most advanced records database available, and my personal favorite.

If you don’t find what you’re looking for, you can get help almost instantly to make sure you find what you’re looking for fast.

Once you’ve located the inmate and prison you were looking for, you can even go as far as researching more info and do a background check, criminal history records check, arrest records search and just about anything else you can think of.

When you've done this you'll be far more confident that you've found the person that you're looking for.

Don't forget, that they cover the entire playing field, all th way from New York, Alabama, Arizona, Texas, California, Washington State, Oregon, Nevada,
Illinois, Kentucky, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, so you can expect to receive results from all 50 states including Canada and Australia.
