Can you do a prison inmate search with just a first name?

Question

I want to find a friend who may or may not be in prison, but i cant remember his last name. Is there a way to find a list off people in the ADC with the first name?

Answer 1

No you need to find the correct prison, then you need arrest date and last name. Sometimes they are just in County jail so that is tough because then you need to know the county they got taken to or arrested in. But a last name for sure

Answer 2

I thought the searches were by social sec #
