Sioux Falls, SD Jameson Annex View
Jameson Annex is a state correctional facility in Sioux Falls, Minnehaha County, South Dakota, operated by the South Dakota Department of Corrections as part of the South Dakota State Penitentiary complex. It generally houses sentenced adult male inmates in state custody, including inmates assigned to higher-security housing and institutional programs. It is not the same as the Minnehaha County Jail, which typically holds local pretrial detainees and short-term county inmates. Jameson Annex supports the state prison system by providing secure confinement, supervision, and correctional services for inmates committed to the Department of Corrections.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Jameson Annex
To find someone at Jameson Annex, use the official inmate search link provided on this page. County jail rosters commonly list a person’s name, booking date, charges, and custody status, while South Dakota state prison records may instead list a DOC number, facility location, sentence information, and current status. Records do not always appear immediately after arrival or transfer; intake and processing can take several hours, and updates may be delayed. If the person was just arrested in Minnehaha County, also check the county jail roster because pretrial detainees are usually held at the county jail, not at a state prison annex.
