These
searches
provide information pertaining to incarceration records at the state
level, meaning any time spent in a state prison, and do not contain
arrest records. These records are available online through an instant
database. This source offers the benefit of speed and ease of access.
However, in general this database will not contain information as
current as those records for which a hand search is performed at the
state corrections records offices.
NOTE:
If the person that you are searching on is currently in prison, but
their trial or court proceedings are still in progress, or in the
process of being adjudicated, and if the person has not posted bail,
this will not show up on their record. Until they are convicted, their
prison record will not appear.
