Delaware Department of Correction - Prisons & Inmate Search

Delaware maintains their own state prison system, facilities which consists of every security level; maximum, medium, and minimum, as well as facilities that focus on sober living, and halfway houses that prepare inmates for life outside of prison.

The Delaware Department of Correction is where offenders are sent that have been convicted of felony crimes of murder, rape, assault, serious thefts and drug related offenses. These are offenses of at least one year, and all the way up to life imprisonment. Delaware abolished the death penalty in 1958, so there is no death row.  Inmates who normally would be put to death for capital murder are given a sentence of life in prison.

The Delaware Division of Youth Rehabilitative Services oversees two detention centers, two residential cottages, and one secure residential school for juvenile offenders who have been convicted of serious crimes and sentenced to detention.

To search for an inmate or juvenile offender, or learn how to communicate with an inmate in the Delaware Department of Correction or their Youth Services, start by choosing from the list of facilities below.
