Then, are you searching for someone incarcerated in Missouri? There are at least three ways to locate the offender behind bars in Missouri. Check them out below:

The Inmate Search

1.       Missouri Statewide Inmate Search

The Missouri Department of Corrections (MODOC) is the state agency tasked with supervising the 21 state prisons in Missouri. MODOC has an online offender search on its official website. Through it, family and friends may locate a loved one serving time in any of the 21 state prisons. If you know the offender’s name or DOC ID, use them to scrutinize the offender database. Your search will generate the following offender details: –

• Offender Demographics – Name, Aliases, Mug Shot, DOC ID, Race, Date of Birth, Height, Weight, Sex, Hair Color, Eye Color
• Criminal History– Active Offenses, Completed Offenses, Sentence Summary
• Custody Status – Assigned Location, Address & Phone Number, Assigned Officer

2.       Jail Roster Search

If you are searching for someone arrested within the last 45 days, they may be in a city or county jail awaiting court arraignment, sentencing, bail settlement, or transfer to prison. If so, contact the arresting Sheriff’s Office or Police Department to scrutinize their jail roster. Besides, some law enforcement agencies make their jail rosters accessible on their official websites.

A jail roster search will help you find the following offender details: –

• Offender Demographics – Name, Aliases, Mug Shot, Age, Ethnicity, Gender, Hair/Eye Color, Height/Weight
• Arrest & Booking Details – Arrest Date & Time, Arresting Law Enforcement Agency, Booking Number, Bail Type & Amount, Sentence Date & Duration
• Custody Status – Current Holding Facility, Expected Release Date

3.       Federal Inmate Search

MCFP Springfield is a medical care level 3 and 4 correctional center and the only federal prison in Missouri. The prison holds up to 893 male federal inmates in Springfield, MO. It offers medical and mental health services to inmates from Missouri and other federal prisons in neighboring states.

Then, if your loved one commits a federal crime and needs medical or mental health care in Missouri, they may be at MCFP Springfield. Confirm by locating the offender using the Federal Bureau of Prisons Offender Locator. Use their name or BOP number to retrieve their name, BOP number, age, race, sex, and expected release date.

4.       Missouri VINELink

Finally, if you are a victim of crime, locate and follow up on the whereabouts of the perpetrator serving time in the Missouri prison system. For this, conduct an inmate search on VINELink, a nationwide victim notification service. VINELink allows you to trace the offender and register for phone or email notifications. That way, you will receive real-time alerts about the case or custody status changes.
