Which system is holding them?

There is no single search that covers everyone in Moody County. Match the situation to the right official locator — most families start with the first one.

If the arrest was recent

Start with the local jail

For a recent local arrest, check the arresting jurisdiction’s official jail roster or custody-notification service. Housing may be at a municipal, county, regional, or contracted facility. If no record appears, ask the arresting agency or jail how to confirm the booking; do not infer the destination from distance or a facility listing.

The current South Dakota Government-hosted resource profile identifies Moody County as this Sheriff service provider, states service area Moody County, and publishes the phone role “Main Phone”. Use it for initial Sheriff or the stated Jail-information assistance. Confirm the actual arresting agency, current holding, release or transfer and legally designated receiving operator; municipal, tribal, State and federal agencies may differ.

If the charge is federal

Search the Federal Bureau of Prisons

A federal charge does not tell you which building holds the person. The U.S. Marshals Service is responsible for federal pretrial detention and may use local, state, private, or federal facilities. Check the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator, but a missing result does not establish that the person is not detained. For a recent federal arrest, contact the arresting agency or the relevant U.S. Marshals district office to ask about the appropriate custody-information process. USMS is a contact route, not a public person locator, and disclosure of a location is not guaranteed.
