After You Search
Quick Facts
- Iowa makes many offender records public under state law and provides online rosters and offender-search tools.
- Online rosters frequently exclude federal inmates and often focus on recent bookings rather than complete criminal histories.
- For best results, search with the inmate’s full name plus an approximate date of birth or age, any spelling variants, and the county or facility name.
- When using Western Union to send money, you generally need the inmate’s commissary or inmate number and the correctional facility name.
- Visits are scheduled through the Ameelio App; Iowa DOC offers in-person and video visits at no cost.
