How to Find an Inmate at South Dakota Women's Prison

Visiting, Mail and Phone Calls
Visiting days, visitor approval, dress rules and the mailing format for letters are set by the South Dakota Department of Corrections and can change at short notice. Read the official facility page and call ahead before you travel.
