1. Find the inmate
Search by name and state across 50 US jails and prisons and confirm their facility.
How It Works
Find an inmate and help them get home in three simple steps.
2. Choose a service
Post a bail bond, send letters and photos, ship a facility-approved care package, or set up discounted phone calls.
3. We handle the rules
We format everything to each facility's current rules and deliver it, so your help gets through the first time.
Step 1: Find the inmate
Everything starts with locating the right person and the right facility. Use our search to look someone up by name and state. Because booking can take a few hours and facility rosters update on their own schedules, a very recent arrest may not appear immediately — try again later or search by last name only.
When you find the record, confirm the full legal name, booking or inmate ID if shown, and the exact facility and county. Mail, packages, money transfers, and bail all depend on getting these details exactly right.
Step 2: Choose a service
Once you have found your loved one, decide how you want to help — bail to get them home, letters and photos to stay in touch, a care package for comfort, or a lower-cost phone setup. You can use one service or several, and come back anytime as needs change.

Step 3: We handle delivery
Every facility has its own rules about paper type, photo limits, approved vendors, and how an inmate's name must appear. A small mistake can mean your letter or package is rejected and sent back weeks later. We keep up with each facility's requirements and format everything to match.
For bail, we connect you with a licensed agent who handles the court paperwork. That means fewer rejected items, fewer wasted trips, and more energy left for supporting the person you care about.
Why it's easier than going alone
On your own you decode confusing jail websites, call facilities that are hard to reach, guess at requirements, and pay when something is rejected. We bring the directory and four services into one place — you choose; we handle compliance and delivery.
What to have ready
Full legal name, booking or inmate ID if available, facility name and state, bail amount if set, and what you want to send or say. Having these ready means most orders take just a few minutes.
Staying connected over time
Helping a loved one is rarely a single action. Many families settle into a routine of mail, occasional packages, and affordable calls. Because everything lives here, you can come back in minutes without relearning each facility's rules.
Privacy & trust
We only collect what we need, never sell your information, and use secure payment processors. Records come from public sources; an arrest is not a conviction. See our privacy policy and data source page.
Common questions before you start
Searching is always free. Delivery times vary by service and facility. If an item is rejected through no fault of yours, contact us for a reprint or credit. More in our FAQ and pricing page.
