How to find an inmate
Puerto Rico has no county or municipal jails, so people from Dorado who remain in custody are held in a DCR institution somewhere on the island. Check the DCR official website or call DCR headquarters in San Juan at (787) 273-6464 with the person's full name and date of birth. The same DCR office covers people sentenced to state prison.
Visitation
Visits are handled by the specific DCR institution where the person is housed. Visitors usually must be approved in advance and must show valid photo ID. Confirm the visiting schedule and rules with DCR or the institution before you go.
Bail and bond
Bail (fianza) for an arrest in Dorado is set by a judge of the Puerto Rico Court of First Instance (Tribunal de Primera Instancia), usually at the Bayamón judicial region. Contact the court that handled the case or the defense attorney to learn the bail amount and how to post it. DCR can confirm whether the person is still in custody.
Mail and money
Mail and money for inmates go to the DCR institution where the person is held, not to the Dorado municipality. Write the inmate's full name and identification number on all mail. Ask DCR or the institution for the current approved methods for sending money.
