Use the detention system connected to the person’s circumstances rather than assuming one search covers all custody settings.
- Start with the person’s name and relevant identifying details.
- Choose the official lookup for the likely detention system.

- Note available booking or custody details and seek official confirmation when needed.

- Hawaii Judiciary court search: case number, party name, or citation number.
- Federal Bureau of Prisons locator: name, Register Number, DCDC Number, FBI Number, or INS Number.
- Historical state records request: full name, date of birth, and the relevant facility or date range.

Searching Official Honolulu County Custody Sources Online
Official online resources serve different purposes. The state facility and department pages provide facility or records guidance, while the federal and court resources provide searchable portals for defined populations.
- Use the Federal Detention Center Honolulu page to reach Bureau of Prisons inmate-locator resources when federal custody is likely.
- Search with a name or documented federal identifier, such as a Register Number, when available.
- Use the eCrim Hawaii criminal history search for statewide criminal-history records by name and date of birth.

These resources do not replace direct confirmation from OCCC or the responsible state or federal agency.
Checking Custody, Release, or Transfer Information in Honolulu County
Custody information should be evaluated within the system that produced it. A federal result, a court docket, and a criminal-history result can describe different events or stages of a case.
- Review the status and date information actually displayed by the source.
- Check whether the source explains its population or coverage limitations.
- Use the responsible detention agency’s documented contact route when confirmation is needed.
- Use another custody system only when it matches the person’s known circumstances, such as federal detention.
- A missing result does not establish release or transfer.
- Bond information does not guarantee immediate release.
- A displayed status or projected date is not a guarantee of current location or release timing.
