Under Missouri law, a felon must be at least 17 years old or a "certified adult" by the Circuit Court and have a sentence of at last one year to be entered in one of the Missouri Department of Corrections facilities.
It is important to take note that the website does not have any information on offenders who have already been released. Under certain safety and confidentiality reasons, information about certain offenders are not available for public viewing. The website only offers general information on inmates according to the Missouri Sunshine Law.
To do a Missouri inmate search in the MODOC website, you will need to either enter the inmate's DOC ID (Department of Corrections Identification) or his or her first and last name. You must put the inmate's complete first and last name to get satisfactory results. You are not allowed do "wildcard" searching.
Since only general information is given by the website, if you want to know more about the inmate, you need to request this information or address any questions about an inmate to the institutional caseworker or the parole and probation field officer.
If you are unhappy about the limited information from your Missouri inmate search on the site, do not expect that to get more out of any other free inmate search website. Your best bet would be subscribing to a paid website that will allow you access to its database. For a certain amount, you will be able to get additional information on inmates, not only in Missouri but also in other states. The information you get is not limited to prison information but you can also get other records such as marriage records, court records, arrest records, and much more.
