How to Look Up Someone at Mike Durfee State Prison: Using the SD DOC Database

Trying to find out if someone is at Mike Durfee State Prison? Start with the South Dakota Department of Corrections (SD DOC) offender lookup. The database covers felony offenders sentenced to the Department of Corrections, including those serving time in South Dakota prisons.

The information in the offender lookup comes from court records provided to the Department of Corrections, plus the Department's own records. This explains why some entries may look incomplete - updates depend on what's been recorded and shared through those systems.

Exclusions

  • ✓ People sentenced to county jail
  • ✓ People on probation
  • ✓ People under any other form of supervision

The offender lookup is a helpful public-service tool, but don't assume it's perfect. The Department of Corrections makes no guarantee about the accuracy or completeness of the information shown. The SD DOC and the State of South Dakota also state they assume no liability for the accuracy of the information contained in the lookup.

If something looks wrong: You can contact the South Dakota Department of Corrections at (605) 367-5190 or (605) 367-5140 to report information you believe is not accurate.
