What would be the reason a inmate does not come up in the search field?

The InmateAid inmate pages are created and maintained by the member/users of the site. All of the inmate data is entered by the member/user of the site, not InmateAid. We do not monitor, verify or update the information unless requested by the member/user. When we are asked via email we definitely will help. You can create the profile yourself and attach it to your account. Once the inmate information is set up, it will sync up to all the available services that you might need to help your inmate get through this tough time.
