About Delaware Department of Correction

The Delaware Department of Correction (DEDOC) is a state government agency in the state of Delaware that is responsible for operating and managing the incarceration of convicted offenders in all state prisons and other detention facilities in the state. The agency's main headquarters once located in Smyrna before it was moved to its current location in the Central Administration Building in Dover.

Sometimes once incarcerated, an inmate may be moved to a different correctional facility under other circumstances. This may mean loss of contact with family or friends. It may prompt the concerned persons to follow up with the Delaware Department of Corrections or conduct a doc inmate search.

The Delaware Department of Corrections maintains a robust correctional system that provides information and guidance on all correctional facilities and holding institutions run by the state.

The Department further oversees more than 6500 convicts in custody in various correctional facilities and over 17,000 persons on probation in community centers across the state. The agency is divided into several divisions, such as the Bureau of Prison, which manages the four state correctional facilities.

Delaware Inmate Search Database

Although the Delaware Department of Corrections (DEDOC) has a reliable database where public members can search out incarcerated individuals, it doesn't directly provide an online search tool.

Those doing a state prisoner search lookup on the DEDOC website or the Delaware Inmate Search Tool will be given another link to an external site.

From this site, you can access information about the incarceration facility and additional data on the  Delaware state offender you are trying to locate.

The facility will also provide information on contacting the inmate via a telephone call, mail, or visitation guidelines.

Note that no phone calls can be made to an Inmate in any correctional facility in Delaware, at least not those within the jurisdiction of the Delaware Department of Corrections.

However, inmates may be permitted to set up a prepaid phone number to make direct calls to relatives at specific times. Furthermore, each facility's website provided details on how to send money to an inmate in a state correctional facility.

Most states allow inmates to have a Trust Fund or an inmate's commissary account where family or friends can deposit money to the inmates. Alternatively, they also provide options for mailing money orders or dropping them during inmate visits.
