Delaware Inmate Search

A 2020 inmate population census indicated at least 7,100 offenders behind bars in Delaware. The offenders were locked up in prisons and jails while another 15,000 offenders were on community supervision, house arrest, medical treatment facilities, and work release programs within local communities. Then, if you wish to locate an inmate in Delaware, conduct a statewide inmate search, or federal inmate search, scrutinize the jail rosters, or contact the relevant correctional facilities as follows: - 

Delaware Statewide Inmate Search 

Delaware has ten state prisons for over 6,400 felons under its jurisdiction. Here, the Delaware Department of Corrections (DCRC) is a state agency in charge of all state prisons and community supervision programs. Hence, DCRC oversees the state prisoners, parolees, probationers, and offenders on work release or house arrest. Unfortunately, the agency has no online offender lookup on its official website. Instead, it encourages anyone searching for an inmate in Delaware to use the VINELink page, a nationwide victim notification service. VINE helps victims of crime follow up on the case details and custody statuses of their perpetrators. Here are the steps: - 

• Go to https://www.vinelink.com/ 
• Select the state of Delaware 
• Provide the offender’s initials, first two characters, partial or full name, DOC or case number 
• The search will generate the offender’s personal details, criminal history, and custody status 
• Proceed to register for phone or email notifications on the changes in the offender’s case details or custody status 

Exceptions 

Note that there are no federal prisons in Delaware. Hence, your VINELink inmate search should help you locate a federal inmate from Delaware. Second, DCRC may transfer felons to Pennsylvania. For this, you will have to use the Pennsylvania inmate locator.  

Still, if you are sure the person you are looking for is in a Delaware state prison but cannot locate them using VINELink, call DCRC’s Bureau of Prison at (302) 857-5221 and book an appointment to search for the inmate in person. 

Jail Roster Search 

If you are searching for someone arrested by the Police Department or Sheriff’s Office, visit their official websites to scrutinize their jail rosters. Indeed, the two law enforcement agencies operate city and county jails. More so, they have elaborate jail rosters accessible online or by appointment at their jail lobbies. A typical jail roster details the offender’s personal details, arrest and booking details, and custody status. If the offender is not on the jail roster, they could still be undergoing the booking process, or transferred to another jail or prison.
