Troubleshooting Missing Name

• ✓ Double-check spelling and try variations (for example, a middle initial vs. no middle initial).
• ✓ Try likely alternatives, like a nickname or another version of the first name.
• ✓ Confirm you’re actually on the inmate list page (the one at “/CarterCoDC_inmatelist.html”), not just the homepage.
• ✓ Refresh the roster page and try again later if you suspect the page didn’t fully load.
• ✓ If you still can’t confirm what you need from the roster, go back to the facility homepage and use the contact information listed there to verify directly before you make any plans.

Before you travel, send money, or schedule a visit, double-check the detention center's homepage to confirm you've found the right person and their status is current. A quick verification now can save you a wasted trip later.
