Inmate Search in Iowa
Thirty-three states have formed an
alliance to provide a free search
for offenders within their
jurisdiction through a website for
use by the public. Each state
maintains its own independent web
site. Variations exist in the design
of the site, the search criteria,
and the information presented for
perusal. State laws may determine
some of this.
It is important to note that the
website may not work properly with
certain browsers. In fact, the web
pages may partially load onto your
computer screen, but integral parts
may be missing. If you encounter
this difficulty, you may want to
consider using a computer at a
public library to complete your
searches. In some cases, you won’t
be able to tell because the missing
information is minimal.
Some databases will contain
information only on inmates who are
currently incarcerated, paroled, or
on probation within that state.
Other sites also include inmates who
are deceased, escaped, or no longer
resident in the correctional system.
To acquire access to the database
for inmates in the state of Iowa,

go through a soundex or “sounds
like” search. A live link generates
a complete explanation with an
example for this process.
Directly below the search boxes, a
disclaimer is listed asserting the
possibility that some inaccuracy may
exist and that anyone who uses the
information contained within the
website is solely liable for any
inaccurate disclosures that are made
