How Does a Westmoreland County Inmate Search Work?
County offices are required to make information in their custody available to the general public per the Pennsylvania Right-to-know Law and the Pennsylvania Criminal History Record Information Act unless the records are restricted by court order or statute. Records typically removed from public access are those containing sensitive information or details about juvenile offenders.
Generally, inmate records are public records. A searcher can expect to find physical descriptive information about an inmate, incarceration details and status, as well as trial, and sentencing information when they perform a Westmoreland County inmate search. To do this search, however, the individual must know enough details to facilitate a search. Usually, the inmate’s name or identification number suffices.
Inmate lookups typically return the following information about detained or incarcerated persons:
- Full name
- Photograph
- Age and date of birth
- Sex
- Race
- Physical description (hair color, eye color, height, and weight)
- Booking number
- Housing information
- Expected release date
- Release status
- Arresting agency
- Charge description
- Bond amount and requirements
Where to Find a Westmoreland County Inmate Locator
The Westmoreland County Prison has an online inmate search tool. Searchers may scroll through an alphabetic listing of inmates or query the database with the inmate’s name. To obtain information about persons housed in state prisons, however, the searcher must use the inmate locator provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections.
Besides the tools mentioned above, interested persons may use third-party services to lookup an inmate. The minimum requirement to facilitate an inmate search on these sites is the inmate’s name. While it is possible to find third-party inmate locators that provide the service for free, many aggregate websites charge a one-time fee or subscription for their services. The amount varies with the site and the robustness of information available through the service provider.
