The Delaware Department of Correction oversees the state's correctional system, which includes prisons, probation and parole, and community corrections. Here's some information on the correctional system in Delaware and how to find inmates in the state's correctional facilities:
- Delaware State Prisons: Delaware has three state prisons, located in Smyrna, Georgetown, and Wilmington. These prisons house inmates who have been sentenced to serve more than one year in prison.
- County Jails: Delaware has three county jails, located in Georgetown, Dover, and Wilmington. These jails house inmates who are awaiting trial or who have been sentenced to serve less than one year in jail.
- Community Corrections: Delaware also has several community corrections centers, which provide a range of services to help inmates transition back into society after their release from prison or jail. These facilities offer substance abuse treatment, education and job training programs, and other services to help inmates successfully reintegrate into their communities.
To find an inmate in a Delaware correctional facility, you can use the Delaware Department of Correction's online inmate locator tool. This tool allows you to search for an inmate by name or inmate number and provides information on the inmate's location, sentencing information, and release date.
To use the inmate locator tool, go to the Delaware Department of Correction's website and click on the "Offender Search" link. You can then enter the inmate's name or inmate number to search for their location and other information.
It's important to note that not all inmates may be included in the online database, and there may be restrictions on the information that is available to the public. If you're having difficulty locating an inmate or need more information, you can contact the Delaware Department of Correction's Bureau of Prisons at (302) 857-5221 for assistance.
