Iowa Inmate Search Updated on: February 15, 2021
About Iowa Department of Corrections
Inmates serving their time in Iowa state prisons records are kept by the Iowa Department of Corrections. The department of corrections can be search by the public with the following information:
First and Last Name
Date of Birth
Gender
Inmate Number
Offense
While the Iowa Department of Corrections tries to keep their database up to date, you may find sometimes it is not current if there have been proceedings one after the other. For complete updated information, you can contact the Iowa Department of Corrections at 515-725‐5701.
However, the city and county jails don’t use the same database as the state of Iowa; you will need to contact proper authorities for their inmate records.
