Why this matters

Support shouldn't be this hard.

When someone you love is arrested, the questions hit all at once. Where are they? How do I reach them? What will I need? The answers are spread across dozens of confusing websites — right when you have the least time to look. One free search puts it all in one place: which jail is holding them, plus the phone number, email, and booking details to reach them. When you're ready to send money, we show you the real payment site and walk you through each step.

×The usual way

County, state, and federal websites that don't talk to each other. Fake pages built to look official. A different company for every jail — and you start over if your loved one is moved.

With InMato

One free search shows you which jail is holding your loved one, plus its phone number, email, and booking details — so you can reach them directly. When you're ready to send money, we point you to the facility's official provider and the exact steps to deposit.

How it works

Three steps to reach a loved one.

Searching is free. If your loved one is already in the system, you'll find the facility holding them, its phone and email, and the booking details you need — at no cost. The official providers, verified deposit steps, and first-week guidance are free too. InMato+ adds ongoing alerts, trusted referrals, and live case tracking whenever you need them.

01

Search the county jails we cover

One search covers every county jail in our coverage, so you can find which one is holding your loved one — even right after a transfer.

02

Get the facility's details

We show you the jail holding them, its own phone number and email, and the booking details you'll need — so you can reach them directly, for free.

03

Reach them directly

Call or email the facility with the details we surface. When you're ready to send money, we connect you — free — to the official commissary and phone provider and the verified deposit steps — and your money goes straight to them, never through us.

Free & InMato+

Search for free. Add InMato+ when you need more.

Every family starts with a free search. InMato+ adds ongoing alerts, trusted referrals, and live case tracking for one loved one.

If your loved one has already been booked into a county jail we cover, a free search will find them. If they were just taken into custody and haven't been booked yet, an InMato+ booking watch notifies you the moment their record appears.

Roadmap

Built in the open, phase by phase.

We're starting with county jails — where families are most often left without help — and expanding from there. Here's exactly what's coming, and when.

PHASE 1 · LIVE

Launch

County jail coverage goes live: 289 county jail systems across 14 states. Search a covered facility, get its phone number, email, and booking details, and create a free account — in English or Spanish. The official commissary and phone providers and verified deposit steps are free, too.

PHASE 2 · DECEMBER 2026

Rapid expansion

Coverage extends to new states and hundreds more county facilities. InMato+ booking watches and status alerts begin reaching families.

PHASE 3 · MARCH 2027

Every county covered

County jail coverage is complete — every county system in the country, searchable in one place. Bail, attorney, and chaplain referrals expand nationwide.

PHASE 4 · DECEMBER 2027

State prisons

State Department of Corrections facilities begin coming online, starting with the largest systems — held to the same official-provider standard.

2028

Federal

Federal facilities join, in cooperation with our partners — completing nationwide coverage across county, state, and federal.

Security & trust

We never touch your money.

When families are most vulnerable, trust is everything. Here's exactly how we protect you — and your money.

Always directed to the official provider

When we point you to a commissary or phone provider, it's always the facility's real, licensed one — never an imitation site or an unlicensed intermediary.

We never hold your money

You deposit directly with the official provider on their secure system. We connect you to that provider for free, and your funds never pass through us.

Your information stays private

We collect only what's needed to complete a search. We don't sell your data, and providers never market to you through us.

Official, licensed providers onlyWe never hold your fundsFree to search — always
I watched families lose hours, sometimes days, just trying to learn where someone was being held and how to support them — while unofficial sites waited to take advantage. No family should have to struggle through that. We built InMato so the search is always free, and so your money goes straight to the official provider, never through us.
