Check booking and intake timing
A very recent arrest may not appear until identity review, fingerprinting, medical screening, classification, and the agency record are complete.
Retry only the accepted identifiers
Offender name, identifier, and other identifying fields supported by Idaho VINE; IDOC number or supported name fields for the separate state locator
Check release, transfer, and regional housing
A current-custody service can stop showing a person after release or transfer. Court movement, medical transport, contract housing, or a regional jail can also change the responsible agency.
Use Idaho Department of Correction only after a state commitment
Open Resident/Client Search after sentencing, admission, or a documented transfer to state corrections. A blank county result alone does not establish state-prison custody.
Use the federal locator only for confirmed federal placement
A local arrest does not automatically create a Federal Bureau of Prisons record. Use the BOP locator after a federal sentence or confirmed BOP placement.
