Inmate Locator

GRCC maintains a database of current inmates and their locations within the system. To locate an inmate, begin by using the DOC locator tool, which requires entering the first three letters of the inmate's first and last name, allowing for variations in spelling.

If unable to locate the desired information through free resources, users may opt to use the Arrest Record Search, which requires payment. While this option incurs a small fee, it provides access to the most up-to-date data available.

In-person visitation is offered on Saturdays only. Visiting hours are from 8:30 am – 2:00 pm. Visitors must arrive before 11:30 am to be allowed entry. A regular visit may last the duration of scheduled visitation hours on each visitation day. If the visiting area reaches capacity and visitors are waiting, the Shift Supervisor shall shorten a visit on a first in-first out basis to ensure that all visitors have the opportunity to visit.

Video visits are available daily and may be scheduled by the visitor through Securus. Video visits are 25 minutes in length and must be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance.

General Visiting Rules - All visitors must be on the approved visiting list. A visitor shall complete a visiting information form and forward it to the Warden's office before any visit is allowed.

An inmate shall not receive a completed visitor information form from a visitor or submit it to a Classification and Treatment Officer.

Inmates may only receive one visit per visitation day.
