Providence County jail inmate search

Operated by the Rhode Island Department of Corrections, the online RIDOC Inmate Search covers the Adult Correctional Institutions. At any hour, you can check the Incarceration Search page. Someone who just arrived at the Travisono Intake Service Center may not be listed yet, so call 401-414-2871 for automated details.

People who are just brought in get processed at the Intake Service Center, 1 of 6 locked facilities within the state’s prisons. Recent arrivals won't show up online until staff complete the jail booking process. Call the RIDOC Friends and Family automated line at 401-414-2871, open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Dedicated phone lines for specific questions appear on the Department of Corrections Contact Us page and the family pages:

• Automated inmate and facility information line (Securus/RIDOC): Call 401-414-2871 any time, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
• Bail Information: Call 401-462-2261 to ask about bond.
• Inmate Accounts Unit: Call (401) 462-2670 for questions about the visiting list or inmate accounts.

The Intake Service Center, also known as the Travisono Intake Service Center, is where custody is handled. According to Access to RIDOC Facilities and Data, it's 1 of 6 secure Adult Correctional Institutions and has a kiosk for deposits in the public lobby. The Inmate Accounts Office address, 51 West Road, Bldg., is for mailed money deposits only. 138.

There's no detention roster run by the Rhode Island Division of Sheriffs. The Rhode Island Department of Corrections runs the Intake Service Center, and it also runs all Adult Correctional Institutions. Use the corrections department's online search or call 401-414-2871 to find someone in custody.

How visiting works across the state facilities is outlined on the Access to RIDOC Facilities and Data page:

• You can't visit until the incarcerated person adds you to their visitation list.
• The warden of each facility sets that building's visiting schedule and rules.
• Call the Inmate Accounts Unit at (401) 462-2670 with questions about the visiting list.

Their accounts let people in custody subscribe to periodicals, buy store items, or send money home. The RIDOC Inmate Accounts page says deposits need a photo ID and go through Access Secure Deposits, CashPayToday, or Keefe Commissary Network:

• In person: Go to the lobby kiosk at the Travisono Intake Service Center or visit a location that accepts cash walk-in payments.
• Online, app, or phone: Use AccessCorrections.com or call 866-345-1884 any time for a bilingual representative.
• By mail: Send money orders or checks to the Inmate Accounts Office, Rhode Island Department of Corrections, 51 West Road, Bldg. 138. On the memo line, write the inmate's name and ID, and make the payment out to Rhode Island Department of Corrections.

Securus provides telephone service inside the facilities. You can add money to a Securus account to pay for calls, per the RIDOC Friends, Families, and Visitors page. An inmate can dial 444 from any Securus phone inside and hear automated information on their record.

County Jail Lookup never shows names, arrest records, or photos. Open the RIDOC Inmate Search directly to check what the state posts about a current detainee. You can also call the 24-hour automated line at 401-414-2871 for inmate-specific details.

To post bond, you give the court money or a written promise, letting an arrested person go home. Rhode Island may allow release on personal recognizance: a promise in writing to appear, with no money paid first. Another way is to give the court 10% of the bail, or you can arrange surety, which means a third party guarantees the bond. Bail must be paid in cash only when you owe restitution ordered by the court. Call RIDOC Bail Information at 401-462-2261 or 401-414-2871 for bond amounts.

People in custody with a set release date can check it by dialing 444 from any Securus phone. Family can check release details on the RIDOC Friends, Families, and Visitors automated line at 401-414-2871. For bail release questions, call Bail Information at 401-462-2261.
