Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Idaho State Correctional Institution
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link available on this page. Inmate search systems typically list basic custody information such as the inmate’s name, identification number, custody status, facility location, and sentence or offense information when available. County jail rosters may also show booking date and charges, but state prison records may focus more on custody location and sentence status. Records may take several hours to appear after intake or transfer because staff must complete processing and data entry. If the person does not appear right away, check again later or contact the facility or the Idaho Department of Correction for guidance.
