Inmate Search
The West Frankfort Jail as we previously talked about is a short-term holding pen for inmates who have been arrested in and around the West Frankfort City. With people getting arrested daily and people also leaving the West Frankfort Jail Daily, it is hard for the facility to keep an up to the minute updated roster for the general public to search through.
This is the prime reason why the West Frankfort Jail does not have their inmate roster available to the public. If you have questions or are looking for someone in the West Frankfort Jail, you will need to get in contact with facility with your questions, comments, and concerns.
Sending a Mail
Again, as we previously talked about the West Frankfort Jail is not a long-term holding facility for inmates. Inmates are in and out of the facility quickly.
With, you are not permitted to send inmates packages, handwritten letters, or cash because by the time they would get these items they would not be in the West Frankfort Jail any longer.
Please do not send any of these above items to the West Frankfort Jail as it will not be given to the inmate. It will not be forwarded to the inmate. It will be sent back to the original sender.
