is their housing available for inmates released from prison?

Often, there are "Halfway Houses" available to help released inmates make the transition back into the "free world" and there are many community groups like "Friends Outside" that are devoted to helping inmates and their families during and after incarceration and the Parole Office can usually assist with housing information... they can be difficult to find, but there are resources available.\nPart of the reason so many return to prison is attitudes like the one above that no transitional help should be available... I say dumping released convicts on the street with no recourse or succor is counterproductive.

many states have a dept of corrections site with inmate locators...google your state dept of corrections.

both are very different situations. being in jail is actual confinement. house arrest affords one the comforts of their own home.

If you have been a victim of an inmate, ask the court to inform you about the parole or probation hearings.  They should also inform you when the person is to be released.

Check with your state Department of Corrections.  Most states have web site on its inmates.  No pictures.  Just information on the sentence and his/her activities within the system.

With their name and the jail they are supposedly in you may be able to find out.\n\nhttp://www.ancestorhunt.com/prison_search.htm\n\nOn this page you can scroll down and search prisons by state. You may also search by county. Just look at the menu on the top right hand side and click on the search by county line. Then scroll down further and find the state and it's counties listed. If you need help, let me know. Good luck.

I have done numerous prison terms in California...and my experience is that there are not enough prisons to house all of the inmates. For example, Los Angeles, CA. has the largest county jail in the country...more than 4600 inmates. There are 6 jail facilities that make up the county jail...TWIN TOWERS, MAIN CENTRAL JAIL, MINIMUM SECURITY, MAX EAST, NORTH CORRECTIONAL, AND SUPERMAX FACILITY. In main central jail...there are 4-man/6 man cells...in Twin Towers...there are pods of bunks that bed 3 people per bunk. In Minimum security...there are quantsit huts (military-style dorms) which have 300 bunks...each beds 4 people. In Max East, North max, and Super max...there are cells and dorms. The cells house the most violent of offenders...rapists and validated prisongang members...the dorms house everyone else...200 people per dorm (8 dorms) and 70 people per cellblock. Overcrowding is a norm. Even in California, prisons are overcrouded as well.

Contrary to popular myth, inmates do not have internet access, there are no currently incarcerated people here.\nThere seem to be quite a few former inmates, and moms, wives, girlfriends and siblings of current inmates hanging around, but no current inmates.

You have to look at the state corrections department web site, in the state you're looking into.  Individual facilities may not have their own sites, but the overseeing agency will.  I've included the one for New York to give you an idea.

If he's in Federal prison, you can check the BOP site.  It will tell you his release date.   However, that date can change, depending on his good time, other charges since his original charge, and when BOP quits screwing around with the paperwork and actually lets him go.  He may also have to go to camp first, or have other requirements.   With BOP, don't count on anything if you are trying to make plans.   Most of the families are in limbo 90% of the time.

Parole, early release, intensive supervision and other programs that provide for an inmate to be released prior to the completion of his sentence exist in large part because they give the inmate incentives to rehabilitate himself.  A prisoner is less likely to assault another inmate or an officer if he knows that that act will cause his release date to be moved back significantly, for example.  Similarly, an inmate in the free world has a powerful incentive to abide by his conditions of release (which go far beyond simply not committing a crime) if he knows that the result of violating them is a return to prison.\n\nAnother reason for programs like this is that they are significantly cheaper than housing a felon in an institution.  Housing an inmate in an institution is roughly comparable to renting a hotel room in terms of costs for most places in the US. Felons on early release programs generally cost a state between a fourth and an eighth of that cost.\n\nOf course not all inmates are eligible for early release programs.  In many states, the sentencing time is mandatory for certain crimes or for criminals who have already been convicted on other charges.

This is nothing I'm proud of,out of my life i've spent 11 years in prison.A prison cell is usually 8ft.x 8ft. That cell becomes your home.A bed,desk,sink,toilet,maybe a chair.Every decision you used to make in the world is gone.Now their made for you by the state.A person who is naturally a surviver,will adapt,one who isn't will have a rough way to go.It's not a life,it's excistence, one day at a time.You can make it easy, or you can make it hard on yourself.It no where, or way to live.

In other words after the person has served their time and gotten out of prison paying their debt to society, why can't he or she get a fair break when it comes to finding a decent paying job or affordable housing. Most of the time people are prejudiced in their decisions in these matters because of the stigma associated with ex-prisoners and the person who can't get the decent job to support his or her family or can't afford decent housing is forced back into some form of criminal activity in order to survive. It is a destructive cycle that is hard to break.
