text: how would i get a inmates info from centinela state prison?   since you know what cdcr facility they're at, you can skip the inmate locater service, it would only tell you what prison they are housed in. instead go to http://www.cya.ca.gov/visitors/fac_prison_centinela.html that's the facility home page...if you know the full name and birthdate of the inmate, call the prison and ask for "records", they will be able to tell you what you need to know, so long as your questions are not about things considered confidential. good luck!
