Overview
RIDOC's public incarceration search is provided "as is"—it's not an official record, so don't treat it as definitive. Online rosters can be delayed, abbreviated, or miss recent bookings. Verify time-sensitive or critical details directly with the facility, the court, or RIDOC. If your search comes back blank, try alternate spellings, hyphenated last names, known aliases, date of birth, or an inmate/booking/registry number if you have one. You can also sign up for notification services (like VINE/VINELink in many states) to get phone, text, or email alerts about releases, transfers, or custody-status changes.
