Wyoming Inmate Search

All inmate records, including individuals on probation or parole in Wyoming, are gathered and maintained by the Wyoming Department of Corrections. It is also the department's responsibility to ensure that such criminal records are made available to the public to enhance public safety, hence the development of the Wyoming inmate lookup tool for anyone to conduct an inmate search in the state.  

How to Perform an Inmate Search  

The first step in conducting Wyoming offender lookup is visiting the Wyoming Department of Corrections and identifying its inmate lookup tool. To perform the free search, you will require either the inmate's name or their inmate number. The official inmate court documents will be displayed for you to review.  

Suppose you would like to obtain inmates' records via mail; the first step is to send a written public record to request the facility holding the inmate. Your request should contain the inmate's name, number, and information you wish to know about them.  

Alternative methods of conducting an inmate inquiry in Wyoming are sending an email or calling the WDOC Public Information Office. Use the information provided below:  

Email: [email protected]  

WDOC Public Information Office at (307) 777-5889 / (307) 777-7208. 

Furthermore, the Wyoming prison lookup tool can also be used by the public to identify the state inmates being supervised and incarcerated out of the state. To get data on inmates supervised out of state, click the "Interstate Compact" button and then go to "In Custody".  

Additional information about the inmate, like their release date, may or may not be released to the public. Suppose exposing the inmate's release date may threaten them; such information is only to be provided to a limited number of people, like their close family members, attorneys, authorized criminal justice, and their victims.  

Wyoming Inmate Roster 

Wyoming inmate roster is the official criminal record of inmates currently incarcerated in Wyoming correctional facilities. The records contain the inmate's biodata like names, ages, genders, mugshots, locations, identification numbers, and sentencing information. The records are considered public by the Wyoming Public Records Act. Therefore anybody has a right to access them.  

However, there are occasions when an inmate's information is not released to the public. Often, this information may belong to a juvenile, or the information may cause a threat to the inmate's life. One may use traditional governmental agency websites or third-party websites and organizations to access these criminal records. Government agency websites have accurate data; however, they are geographically restricted depending on the state of the correctional facility.  

On the other hand, third-party websites and organizations provide easier access to inmates' records since they have no regional restrictions. However, data from different third-party websites may provide conflicting inmate data. This is often due to how often the agency updates inmate's data on its website. To use these third-party websites and organizations to locate an inmate, you must provide the inmate's state, county, city, and name.
