How Do You Find Someone in the North Dakota State Penitentiary?

The North Dakota Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation maintains a searchable public database of all of the inmates they have in custody.

In addition, the offender search contains information about prisoners, parolees, and probationers who are currently under supervision, and who have been discharged. It also contains those inmates who have absconded, or escaped.

The actual prison that an inmate is assigned to depends on factors such as security classification, remaining time of their sentence, gang affiliation, and location of their residence.

The North Dakota Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation began in 1885, when the first state prison, North Dakota State Penitentiary, was built in Bismarck.

Today the state of North Dakota's Prison System maintains four state correctional facilities.

With a staff of 980 correctional workers, as of the end of 2023 they oversee approximately 1,400 inmates, with another 6,500 on parole and probation.

The following will explain the instructions, tricks and hacks you can use to find any inmate in custody with the North Dakota Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

Inmate Visitation

North Dakota State Penitentiary Inmate Visitation Information and Schedule

Step 1 - The Application

In order to visit an inmate, they must add you to their list of vistors, and you have to fill out an application and be approved. All visitor's names are checked with the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation, North Dakota Parole and Probation, and local law enforcement authorities.

Anyone with open criminal charges or who have an active warrant for their arrest will not be allowed to visit. Anyone on parole or probation must first complete six months of video visitation (outlined below), after that time period the parole or probation officer must recommend visitation.

It takes 15 days to approve an application. The inmate is notified of the decision and it is their resp[onsibility to notify you.

Step 2 - The Visit

Once approved, it is important to review the shedule and rules for North Dakota State Penitentiary or whatever facility you are visiting.

Each resident has 20 hours of visitation for all in-person visits. Any visit over 10 minutes will be counted as one hour of visitation. These 20 hours of visitation do not include video visits. Video vists are detailed below.

All visitors over 16 must have a state or federal government issued photo ID. Children must be with an adult. If the child(ren) have a different last name than their legal guardian, the applicant must provide a birth certificate or legal guardianship paperwork.

Applicants can only list their own children on the visitation application or include custody papers along with their application. A Minor Visitation Application is needed if the child cannot be brought in by the parent or legal guardian. The form must be notarized and returned to visitation. Once we receive the application, it then has to be approved.

Anyone under 18 years old must be accompanied by an approved parent, legal guardian or designated person.

If the child(ren) have a different last name than their legal guardian, the applicant must provide a birth certificate or legal guardianship paperwork.

Dress non-seductive and professional.  Dress as if you were meeting someone's grandmother for the first time.

What is a State Prison?

Once an inmate is convicted and sentenced for a violation of that state’s felony laws (and their sentence is more than one year in length), they are moved from the City or County Jail and sent to a State Prison in North Dakota. If the violation they are convicted of is a federal crime, they will be sent to a Federal Prison, but will not necessarily be doing their time in North Dakota.

North Dakota State Prisons are operated and maintained by the state government and are used to confine and rehabilitate criminals. State prisons are funded by state tax money. The fund is used to provide food and clothes to inmates and to hire employees to keep the prison running. Inmates in state prison enjoy certain privileges such as TV use and recreation, both indoor and outdoor. The number of privileges allowed depends on the security level of the prison, the inmate and the overall needs of the prison on a specific day.

North Dakota has minimum, medium and maximum security prisons. The Corrections Department in North Dakota also maintains low (or no) security residential settings and camps where inmates assist in state property maintenance and duties such as fighting fires. Almost all prisons provide ‘jobs’ where an inmate can earn a small hourly wage and even learn a trade. Some prisons even contract with call centers and handle phone calls on issues related to their state government. Criminals who have committed a violent crime or killed someone are likely housed in a maximum security prison. If the inmate in these prisons behave, they are also eligible to recreate and/or work as well.

In North Dakota Prisons rehabilitation is the stated goal but the reality is that they exist to punish inmates for their crimes and keep them from hurting or harming innocent people on the outside who follow the laws and live and act responsibly. The fact is that most prison systems are underfunded, overcrowded and are not able to spend time and money rehabilitating offenders. This is not the fault of the people hired to work in prisons, they are just victims of the lack of resources due to budgeting constraints.

How to find an inmate already convicted of a felony and sentenced?

State Inmate

Most states have Department of Corrections websites that allow you to type in a felon's first and last name and pull up inmates in that state.

If you need to find a sentenced inmate serving time in a state other than North Dakota, go here. To find an inmate in North Dakota, just scroll to the top of the page and click on the Inmate Search button.

Once you locate them click next to the inmate's name or on the link provided and it will show you which prison the inmate is housed in. If the inmate is no longer incarcerated, but is on parole/probation or discharged, it will tell you that as well. In addition, many state prison inmate pages show recent mug shots.

Federal Inmate

The federal prison system has its own inmate locator called the Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator.

Type in the inmate's name and it will tell you where he or she is incarcerated and their projected release date. It also lists released federal prison inmates and the date they were released.

Federal inmates who are moved from one prison to another will show as "No longer in federal custody" on the system until they reach their next federal prison destination. This movement can take a few days to several months to complete, so keep checking back to find out where the inmate was taken.

ICE Inmates

The ICE Detainee Lookup allows friends, family members and interested parties to locate illegal and/or undocumented immigrants that are in the United States without permission.

Has the Inmate been recently arrested?... Try a County Jail

In many cases, the person you are looking for has either not been convicted or sentenced or has been sentenced and is awaiting transport to a State or Federal Prison and is still incarcerated in a City or County Jail.

To locate that person, go here to first find the State, and then the County where they were originally arrested or have been transported to. From there you can begin your search in our databases that contain the names and information of millions of inmates.

Jailexchange.com has all information on every jail and prison in the United States.
