Indiana Inmate Search

The Indiana Department of Corrections (IDOC) is a crucial unit in Indiana State. It delivers quality public safety services to citizens by detaining state inmates and offenders. About 17 adult facilities and three juvenile centers operate within the state. Family members and other interested persons can call or email the central office to conduct an Indiana State Inmate Search. 

Inmate Search 

Finding an offender or inmate in custody through the official IDOC website is the best option for all online users. It is simple, reliable, and fast, unlike mailing to wait several days for feedback. The following is a quick guide to kick-start this process. 

Step 1 

Go to the Indiana State Offender Locator page.   

Step 2 

Once on the inmate search page, there are two options to pick: 

• Search by name 
• Search by IDOC number 

The site accepts either first or last name entries. However, picking both names is a better approach to speed up and narrow search results. 

Step 3 

Depending on the above choice, click on the ‘Search’ or ‘Reset’ buttons to reveal results or edit your entries, respectively. The process does not store or expose minor inmates’ data for confidentiality purposes.   

An offline search option is to visit the department administration offices operating from 302 West Washington Street in the Indianapolis area.

The department welcomes friends and families searching for their loved ones to any prison or jail to seek further details. The correctional facility location page provides relevant sources to locate prisons and other vital public information. Submit your request to public records for offenders indicating the inmate’s IDOC number and name as the subject.   

Mail the administration office at 302 West Washington Street, Room E-334, Indianapolis City, Indiana 46204, for search assistance.
