Submit Prison or Jail Information

JailGuide covers over 11,000 correctional facilities across all 50 US states and more than 100 countries. That is a lot of data to keep current. Addresses change, phone numbers are updated, visitation policies shift, and new facilities open while others close.

If you work at a facility, have a family member inside, or simply spotted something that is wrong or missing, use the form below to let us know. We review all submissions and update the database as quickly as possible. JailGuide is not affiliated with any government agency, state prison, federal prison, or local jail.

Tips for a Successful Submission

Use the official facility name exactly as it appears on the facility website or government records.
Include the full mailing address that inmates use to receive mail, not just the physical address if they are different.
For visitation updates, include the specific days and times, any ID requirements, and the phone number for the visitation office.
If reporting a facility closure, include the date it closed if you know it and where inmates were transferred if applicable.
For international facilities, include the country, region or state, and city so we can match it to the right directory.
Providing an email address helps us follow up quickly if we have questions about your submission.
