Absolutely, and this is exactly how the system is designed to work.
Not every inmate appears in the search results automatically, particularly those in smaller county jails or facilities that do not share data with public inmate locators. That is not a problem. InmateAid allows you to create a profile manually for any inmate at any facility as long as you know where they are housed.
Once you set up the profile with the correct facility information, all of InmateAid's services become...

Yes, we call it Letters from Inmates in the Admin section of your My Account area. Our users like the ability to write and inmate and not have to use their own address as the sender. If this is the case, the inmate will write you through us. We receive the letter and scan it into your account. You are notified via email that there is a letter there for your review.

There are three ways to search on InmateAid. One is locator of the jail you think they might be in (try the county where they were last).
Our locator has over one million inmates but they are entered by members of the site. If no one set up a profile for your guy, then that database would not have his record. You can create his profile once you find him and use our services to stay connected.
The third way is to...

You can try, but it seldom works. Correctional staff are not permitted to relay personal messages to inmates as a matter of facility policy. The rules exist for good reason: if staff started passing along phone messages from family members, the volume of requests would be unmanageable and the system would break down quickly. It is not that individual staff members do not want to help. It is that the rules prohibit it.
The most reliable way to get a message...
