This free tool works for anyone in state custody. If a person was booked at the Jasper County Jail and later sent to a state prison, the GDC tracks where they ended up.

The GDC Find an Offender page is another starting point. It explains the search process and links to the query form. Both tools use the same database, so you get the same results either way.
