Find an Inmate & Send a MessageFrequently Asked Questions
Corrlinks primarily requires you to already know the inmate's Register Number and have them added to your contact list. Unlike comprehensive platforms like InmateDB, Corrlinks doesn't offer public inmate search functionality - you typically need the inmate to initiate contact first through their facility's email system.
Corrlinks has several limitations: no public inmate directory, requires existing contact approval, limited to messaging only (no photos/mail services), outdated interface, and no additional tools like AI or educational resources. Modern platforms address these gaps with comprehensive search and communication features.
No, Corrlinks only supports text-based messaging. For sending photos to inmates, you need separate services. InmateDB handles photo delivery by printing high-quality copies and mailing them directly to the facility, ensuring they meet prison regulations.
InmateDB offers direct inmate search by Register Number or Name across most federal facilities, while Corrlinks requires existing contacts. Additionally, InmateDB provides messaging, photo delivery, paper mail services, and AI tools in one platform, whereas Corrlinks is limited to basic messaging.
For most searches, you'll need either the inmate's Register Number (most accurate) or full legal name. Having the facility location helps but isn't always necessary with comprehensive search tools that scan multiple databases.
Some government websites offer basic inmate locators, but they're often outdated and limited. For reliable, up-to-date information and comprehensive communication tools, platforms like InmateDB provide better value with their subscription services starting at $19.99/month.
