How to search: enter the person's legal last and first name, or their WDOC 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 inmate number for mail.
What the dates mean: any dates shown, such as admission, sentence or projected release dates, come from WDOC's own records. Projected dates can change (for example with earned credits, discipline or parole decisions) and are not a guarantee. Ask WDOC or the facility before making plans around a date.
Release and transfer alerts: Wyoming takes part in VINE (official source (opens in new tab)). Families can sign up free on VINELink (opens in new tab) for release, transfer and court-date alerts. It's built mainly for crime victims.
OutSooner does not store or list anyone's name, date of birth or ID number. The search runs on the official site.
Sentence credits
Credit rules come from Wyoming law and are the same at every WDOC prison. Read Wyoming's good-time and earned-time rules.
