How Are Inmate Records in Wyoming Created and Stored?
Wyoming inmate records are created when someone is first arrested. Then everything that happens to that inmate is documented and kept in the file. The first form is the RAP sheet, which contains the suspect’s name, address, phone number, and physical description. The arresting officer also notes the details of the crime. Once convicted and the offender moves to prison, the inmate records are maintained and kept updated daily. The Wyoming Department of Corrections is the entity in charge of inmate records for the state. They keep them online in a database which is searchable so the general public can perform an inmate search at any time.
