If you're searching for an individual who is currently incarcerated in Missouri, there are several resources available that can assist you.
- State Inmate Search: Each correctional facility in Missouri has its own offender search system that can be accessed online or through the facility itself. To begin your search, you can use the name or birth date of the offender. The search may also provide additional information such as inmate ID numbers, mug shots, and contact information for family members. The Missouri Department of Corrections (MDOC) offers an online offender search tool on their website which searches both current inmates at MDOC-operated facilities as well as those currently serving sentences under MDOC supervision such as parolees or probationers.
- Federal Inmate Search: The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) maintains a searchable database of all federal inmates who are currently incarcerated. This includes individuals who have been convicted of federal crimes and are serving time in federal prisons throughout the country.
- County Inmate Search: Many county sheriff's offices in Missouri have their own offender search systems that allow you to look up information about recently arrested people. This includes details about the arrestee such as their name and charge as well as their booking photo and any other relevant details from their records.
- Vinelink: Vinelink is a nationwide victim notification system that provides information about the custody status of offenders. This service allows users to register for notifications when an offender's custody status changes. Notifications can be received via phone, email, or text message.
In addition to these resources, the Missouri State Highway Patrol also offers an online arrest reports search option on its website. This system provides a comprehensive listing of convictions and sentences for each person who appears in the search results along with photographs when available. Additionally, there is also a link to view additional details such as released dates from prison or jail time served, fines paid by the offender, and any previous incarcerations across different counties in Missouri or even outside of it if applicable.
