Having a loved one incarcerated in a correctional facility is a challenging experience that can be emotionally and mentally draining. However, knowing how to find them and stay in touch can make the situation a little more bearable. In South Dakota, there are different types of correctional facilities, including state and federal prisons, as well as county jails. In this article, we will explore the various options for finding inmates in South Dakota correctional facilities and how to use the Vine platform to stay informed. 

The South Dakota Department of Corrections is responsible for maintaining all state correctional facilities. This department oversees the operations of state prisons and juvenile detention centers, as well as probation and parole services. 

South Dakota has several state prisons, including the South Dakota State Penitentiary, Mike Durfee State Prison, and the Jameson Annex to the South Dakota Women's Prison. To find an inmate in a state prison, you can visit the South Dakota Department of Corrections website and use the inmate locator tool. You will need to know the inmate's name or offender ID number to search for them. 

South Dakota has two federal prisons: the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Wilmot and the Minimum Security Satellite Camp (MSSP) in Yankton. To find a federal inmate in South Dakota, you can use the Federal Bureau of Prisons website or call the agency's Inmate Locator hotline at 202-307-3126. 

In South Dakota, county jails are managed by local sheriff's offices. To find an inmate in a county jail, you can visit the sheriff's office website or contact them directly by phone. Keep in mind that some smaller counties may not have online inmate lookup tools, so you may need to call the jail to inquire about an inmate's whereabouts. 

The Victim Information and Notification Everyday (Vine) platform is a national service that provides up-to-date information about an offender's custody status. In South Dakota, you can use the Vine system to receive automated notifications via phone, email, or text message when an inmate's custody status changes. To use Vine, visit the South Dakota Department of Corrections website and click on the VineLink icon. You will need to create an account and provide information about the inmate you are looking for, such as their name or offender ID number.
