State prison, county jail or federal prison?
The Missouri Department of Corrections holds people serving state prison sentences. Someone arrested in the last few days is almost always in a county jail instead, and will not show up in the state prison search yet. For a recent arrest, start with the county: open our Missouri page and pick the county where the arrest happened.
People sentenced for federal crimes are held by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, which has its own search. See federal inmate search (BOP).
After you find them
- Visits: most prisons require you to be on the person's approved visitor list first. How visiting works.
- Money: how to send money and how commissary works.
- Mail and calls: sending mail, phone calls and video visits.
- Release and transfer alerts: VINE notifications.
Questions
What do I need to search the MODOC inmate list?
The Offender Web Search lets you search by first and last name, including aliases. A full legal name or the ID number works best.
Someone was just arrested in Missouri. Will they be in the MODOC search?
Usually not. People who were just arrested are held in a county jail first. They are moved to a state prison only after a sentence to state prison. Check the county jail where the arrest happened.
Is searchinmates.org part of the Missouri Department of Corrections?
No. searchinmates.org is a private website. It is not affiliated with the Missouri Department of Corrections or any government agency. The department's own search is the source of record.
