Seaford Jail Roster

The Seaford jail roster covers adult inmates booked after an arrest in Seaford. Every Seaford arrestee is held by the Delaware Department of Correction. Men go to the Sussex Correctional Institution in Georgetown, about eight miles east of Seaford. Women go to Baylor in New Castle. That state system is also the one Seaford residents use when they want to search the Seaford jail roster. This page walks through the full Seaford jail roster search, Seaford Police records contacts, and the state inmate tools that serve Seaford families.

How the Seaford Jail Roster Works

Seaford is in western Sussex County. The city does not run a jail of its own. After an arrest, the inmate is taken to SCI in Georgetown. The Delaware DOC then posts the record on the state Delaware jail roster. The post shows the facility, the charges, and a release date if one is set.

Run a Seaford jail roster search on the Delaware DOC inmate locator. It works on any phone or desktop. Search by name or by SBI number.

For alerts when a Seaford inmate changes facility or is released, sign up at VINELink. The Delaware Victim Services Unit can also help set up notifications tied to a Seaford jail roster record.

Seaford Police Department

Seaford Police are at 414 High Street, Seaford, DE 19973. The main line is (302) 629-9173. The department handles arrests inside Seaford city limits. Seaford officers work with Delaware State Police and the Sussex County Sheriff on regional cases.

Records requests fall under Delaware FOIA. Under Section 10003, the force must reply in 15 business days. See more on the Seaford city site, which links to police and city records pages.

Seaford Police book arrestees through SCI. That means a Seaford jail roster lookup will almost always list SCI as the facility in the early stretch of custody. Women from Seaford go to BWCI in New Castle.

Sussex Correctional Institution

Sussex Correctional Institution, known as SCI, is the main Sussex County prison and the main Seaford jail roster site for men. SCI is at 23203 DuPont Boulevard, Georgetown, DE 19947. Call (302) 856-5280 for general info. SCI is a Level 5 prison holding about 1,200 male inmates.

The drive from Seaford to SCI is about eight miles. That makes family visits easier for Seaford inmates than for inmates from cities at the far ends of Delaware. SCI visit hours for General Population are Saturday and Sunday, 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Hours can shift, so call first.

SCI runs the Youthful Criminal Offenders Program, or YCOP. Seaford inmates in this program get programming built for younger offenders. SCI also runs GED prep, job training, and behavior programs for inmates getting close to a jail roster release.

Sussex Sheriff and Seaford Jail Roster

The Sussex County Sheriff's Office serves Seaford and the rest of Sussex County from its office at 2 The Circle, Georgetown. The main line is (302) 855-7830. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The Sussex Sheriff does not run a jail or a custody jail roster. For Seaford inmate custody, the right stop is SCI or the Delaware DOC. For a Seaford warrant check, call the sheriff. Sheriff duties include serving civil papers, transporting inmates, court security, and sheriff sales.

For concealed carry permits and fingerprints, the Sussex Sheriff office also helps Seaford residents.

Sussex Courts for Seaford Cases

Seaford felony cases move through the Sussex County Superior Court in Georgetown. The court sits at 1 The Circle, Georgetown, DE 19947. The Sussex Court of Common Pleas handles misdemeanor Seaford cases. Minor cases may go to a Justice of the Peace Court.

Use Delaware CourtConnect to pull an online case search for a Seaford inmate. The tool shows case numbers, party info, and event dates tied to a jail roster entry.

Expungement of an old Seaford case files at the Sussex Superior Court. Once a Sussex judge signs the order, the record drops off the Seaford jail roster, the CourtConnect search, and the SBI file. Misdemeanors need a three-year wait. Eligible felonies need seven years. Review the Sussex County Superior Court page for forms.
