How Are Inmate Records in Georgia Created and Stored?
Georgia inmate records are created when someone is arrested by local law enforcement. The initial paperwork is commonly referred to as a RAP sheet, where the person’s name, address, physical description and criminal activity is recorded. These records are kept in an online database so that later other members of law enforcement, corrections authorities and the general public can perform an inmate search. These records change with each event that takes place in the inmate’s life and they are updated frequently, usually daily.
Searching for Georgia Offender Information Online
The Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) is the agency in charge of inmate records for the state. Their central repository makes it easy to perform a Georgia inmate search. As with many corrections websites, the state has a Georgia inmate locator feature on its website called “Find an Offender.” The process for performing a Georgia prison inmate search for offenders located in jail, federal prison or other facilities may be different. When performing an official Georgia inmate search, always contact the state DOC to find an inmate. If someone is interested in finding Georgia inmate records, the Infotracer search tool is a great place to start. It will provide arrests, incarcerations, convictions, court records and more.
