The South Dakota Department of Corrections operates prisons and correctional facilities across the state. Inmate lookup services are available through the South Dakota DOC, as well as Federal Prisons and County Jails to help locate inmates.
Inmates can be searched for by their name or ID number on the South Dakota DOC inmate lookup page. This will return a list of inmates currently in custody and their release date if applicable. Records will also include contact information for the facility where the inmate is being held, as well as any court records related to the inmate.
In addition to South Dakota DOC inmate lookup services, VINELink can also be used to find inmates in State Prisons and County Jails across South Dakota. VINELink is a free online resource for victims and other interested parties to access information about offenders in the South Dakota Corrections system. Through VINELink, users can search for offender records by name, state ID number, or criminal case number.
VINELink also provides notifications and updates on changes to an inmate's status, such as court dates and sentence updates. This service can help victims stay informed on their cases and the whereabouts of offenders.
If you are unable to locate an inmate using the online inmate locator system, you can contact the county jail directly to inquire about their status. To find the contact information for a specific county jail, you can start by doing an online search using the name of the county and the keywords "jail" or "sheriff's office". You can also check the South Dakota Sheriffs' Association website, which provides a list of all county sheriffs and their contact information.
