How we collect

  • Only public pages that anyone can open in a browser. No logins, no captcha bypassing.
  • One request per second or slower per website, identified as searchinmates.org-bot (+https://searchinmates.org/about).
  • We respect robots.txt.
  • We do not collect booking photos, and we do not publish home addresses even when a source shows them.
  • Records that were removed at someone's request are never added again.

Facility directory information may come from public-domain datasets, such as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security HIFLD prison boundaries data, and from facility websites. Addresses and phone numbers can change; check with the facility. Read how the site works and what we promise on our about page.
