How to find an inmate
Yauco has no municipal or county jail, so people arrested there by the Puerto Rico Police Bureau are transferred to Puerto Rico Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (DCR) custody. Call DCR headquarters in San Juan with the person's full name and date of birth, or check the official DCR website, to find the institution holding them. Use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator for people in federal custody.
Visitation
Visits are arranged through the DCR institution where the person is housed. Contact DCR or that institution to register as a visitor and confirm the current schedule, ID requirements, and visiting rules.
Bail and bond
Bail (fianza) is set by a judge of the Tribunal de Primera Instancia at the court serving Yauco. Contact the court clerk or the Pretrial Services Office to confirm the amount and the accepted ways to post it.
Mail and money
Mail and money for people in DCR custody must follow the rules of the institution where they are held. Check with DCR for the correct mailing address, approved deposit methods, and banned items before sending anything.
