Indiana IDOC Offender Search (official) (opens in new tab) Indiana facility status
How to search: enter the person's legal last and first name, or their IDOC (Indiana) ID number if you have it. Nicknames and misspellings usually return nothing; try fewer letters or a different spelling of the name. You need the person's DOC number to address mail.
What the dates mean: any dates shown, such as admission, sentence or projected release dates, come from IDOC (Indiana)'s own records. Projected dates can change (for example with earned credits, discipline or parole decisions) and are not a guarantee. Ask IDOC (Indiana) or the facility before making plans around a date.
OutSooner does not store or list anyone's name, date of birth or ID number. The search runs on the official site.
