Inmate Search in Hawaii
A majority of the states provide
free searches for state offenders
within their jurisdiction through a
website designed for use by the
public. Each state that participates
in the program maintains its own
website independently through their
State Department of Corrections.
Variations exist in the design of
the site, the complexity and
specificity of the search criteria,
the information presented for public
viewing, and the availability of
other related information. State
laws determine some of the
parameters of the website,
particularly the information that is
presented. Hawaii does not provide
online search features.
Some websites do not function
properly when using specific
browsers that are not set to allow
pop ups. Although the web pages may
partially load onto your computer
screen, integral parts of the page
may be missing. If you encounter
this difficulty, consider using a
public library’s computer to conduct
your searches. In some cases, you
won’t notice any difficulty because
the missing information is minimal.
Several states participate in
retrieval of state inmate
information through the Vinelink
service. Questions or comments for
those sites should be directed to
877-421-8463. Some databases will
contain information only on inmates
who are currently incarcerated,
paroled, or on probation within that
state, while other sites also
include information on inmates who
are no longer resident in the
correctional system or who are
deceased, escaped, or released.
Hawaii does not use the Vinelink
service.
Although a number of states do not
participate in the online searching
of state offenders or inmates, they
do provide information for accessing
information on state inmates in
other ways. The available
information on inmates that can be
used for public knowledge is subject
to that state’s laws. Hawaii is one
of those states.
A state inmate or offender is an
individual who has been charged and
convicted with violating the laws of
that particular state. The
individual is incarcerated in state
facilities or supervised by the
staff of those state facilities for
the term indicated in their
sentencing.
To acquire access to Hawaii’s
Department of Corrections to inquire
about the current population of
inmates in the state of Hawaii, use
the following link: http://answers.firstgov.gov/cgi-bin/gsa_ict.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=3512&p_sid=nBOtxTmi&p_lva=5849#.
This directs you to the page for
frequently asked questions for the
U. S. Government’s Official website
that pertains to Hawaii’s Department
of Corrections. It will provide the
method by which you can obtain
information on current inmates in
the state of Hawaii. Two options are
available: contact by postal mail or
by telephone. Telephone contact may
still require a written request,
depending on the extent of the
information that you are requesting.
You should include the following
information in your request:
• the full name of the inmate-
first, middle, and last
• any aliases of the inmate
• the inmate’s date of birth-
approximate date of birth is
acceptable if provided as a range
• the DOC number (Department of
Corrections #) if possible
• your full name
• your complete mailing address
• your day time phone number
• a brief statement outlining what
information you want and what you
intend to do with the information
If you do not have all of the
requested information, you should
include as much identifying
information as possible. For
example, many people have the same
first and last name, so include a
middle name or initial. If the
inmate has any identifying tattoos
or scars, they can be included as
well to help narrow the search in
order to provide the correct
information on an inmate. If you
know the particular crime for which
the individual was convicted,
include that information.
Send your written request to:
Hawaii State Department of
Corrections
919 Ala Moana Blvd
4th floor
Honolulu, HI 96814
Additionally, you may contact the
Hawaii Department of Corrections
directly to acquire additional
