It’s one InMato. The attorney plan isn’t a separate product — same service, built out for a caseload instead of a loved one. And your money always goes straight to the official provider: InMato never holds or touches your funds.

Security & trust

We never touch your money.

When families are most vulnerable, scammers move in. Here’s exactly how InMato keeps you — and your money — safe.

You The facility’s official provider InMato — beside the path, never in it You The facility’s official provider InMato beside the path, never in it

Always the real provider

When we point you to a place to send money or set up calls, it’s the facility’s own licensed provider — verified against the county’s official records, never a lookalike.

We never hold your money

You pay the official provider directly on their secure system. InMato just shows you the right one — your funds never pass through us.

Your search stays private

Searching and tracking are private to you. Nothing is shared with the facility or the person inside, and we never sell your data.

Common questions

Straight answers, no fine print.

01What if my county isn’t covered yet?

Searching is free, so you’ll know in seconds. If we’re not live in your county, you’ll see it’s in progress and can get one alert the day it opens — so you’ll know before you ever pay a cent.

02Will my loved one know I searched?

No. Searching and tracking are completely private to you. Nothing is shared with the facility or the person inside.

03Can I cancel anytime?

Yes — cancel in one click. No contract, no cancellation fee, and billing stops right away.

04How is this different from the free county site?

County sites can tell you who’s in custody. InMato adds the verified official provider for money and calls, clear deposit steps, and court-date reminders — all in one place — and steers you away from the lookalike sites built to overcharge you.

05Is this a scam? How does the money work?

Your money never passes through InMato. You pay the facility’s official, licensed provider directly on their own system. We only point you to the right one.

06Do you offer help in Spanish?

Yes — InMato is fully bilingual in English and Spanish everywhere we’re live.

Our story

Born from lived experience. Built for families.

“The system that was supposed to help families reach their loved ones was built to profit from them instead.”

A maze of lookalike sites, per-jail middlemen, and paywalls stacked on paywalls. We lived it — and built a new one: free to find them, honest about what costs money, and clear about who each plan is for.
