is it legal for a judge to have contact with an inmate before his sentencing? or where could i find the answer

It is probably inappropriate, but if I were you I'd keep my mouth shut.  It can only help to have the judge seeing your boyfriend in Bible study class (unless your boyfriend is busy taking Cain's side, and something similar.)

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.

I can't tell if you already have someone you're trying to reach or if you're looking for a pen pal... If you know the person and where they are, the address will look something like this:\n\nRobert Jenson V-12345 (His name and inmate ID#)\nB-2  123-L            (His yard, tier, cell and bunk)\nShawshank State Prison\nP.O. Box 6789\nAnytown, PA\n43216\n\nIf you know WHO but not where...Do you know what State? If you add that information to your question, I can help more.\nThis link will help you find inmates in a Federal facility\nhttp://www.bop.gov/iloc2/locateinmate.jsp ...\nIf he's in a State Prison, do a search that looks like this, except without the quotation marks....\n"Yourstate corrections prison inmate search"\nThat will get you links to the inmate lookup services.\nIf that doesn't help, go to the forum marked "Lost in the System" at http://www.prisontalk.com\n\nAnd finally, if you've decided to seek a penpal,What a lovely thing to do..you'll make someone's day by writing! Be careful though, get a Post Office Box so you don't have to give out your home address to total strangers and don't give out personal information too soon...basically the same rules you follow on the internet to keep safe. And remember that just like on-line, people might not be up-front about who they really are... if it feels like someone is lying or being pushy about a "relationship" drop them.\nWhen you first start writing, don't use any glitter or stickers because many facilities do not allow them.If you're under 18, you might not be allowed to write, some places only let minors write if they are family members(if that's the case writing to an inmate could get HIM in trouble, so don't do it)\nI hope you make a few good friends!\nTo find a pen pal, go to http://prisontalk.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&f=403

Nope, you'll have to keep in touch the old fashioned way, I'm afraid....snail mail and amazingly costly phone calls.\nCheck out http://www.prisontalk.com for tons of info and support from others in the same boat.

http://www.bop.gov/iloc2/LocateInmate.jsp\n\nStart there, then write to him/her in care of the prison with the words "Forwarding Requested" on the envelope below the return address.

Check to see if there is a Offender Tracking System in your State under the Dept. of Corrections. You will have to know the persons first and last name. If you have a prisoner number associated with that person that was used before, you might want to try using that to locate them.\n\n                                      Good Luck

You can't. You can write a letter to Corrections Canada addressed to him they will forward it on if he/she is in custody. That inmate would have to respond for you to get information about location visits or release. Its called the gay privacy act.....They should be public property if we are feeding them !! I am right have extensive experience dealing with them..

There is a wonderful support and information group at http://prisontalk.com\nSomeone there will have your answer.\nI've got a "someone special" locked up, too, and this group has helped me a great deal.

I am a Bail Bond Agent in Phoenix, Arizona.  The main jail information number is 602 876-0322, and the main switchboard number is 602 876-1000.   You can also call me at work at 602 252-1777 and I would be happy to help you out if I can.\n\nAs for your visiting your son.  Even if you were a felon, you may still visit.  The "no felon, no visit" rule does not apply to immediate family members.  You may have to write to the Captain of the jail to get permission first; sometimes just a call will suffice.\n\nNow  when you say no one listens to you there, well -YOU'RE RIGHT!  Don't feel lonely.  I come in contact with many people over at the jail daily and believe me, they don't listen to me either.  Don't take it personally, but they all know better then we do (hahaha). \n\nHope this helps, call me at work if not.  Good Luck!

I'd call one of two numbers, (540)245-5338, which is for the jail, ask them directly, or (540)245-5333 which is for the sheriff.  123 people in two departments between enforcement and corrections departments.  I saw no mention of a website for the jail, but I did learn it is under the sheriff, and a new jail is under construction.  I know this is not the answer you want, but this is all that could be found.

Well here in *** where I work for our court services department you just call the jail and see if the person is in custody.  If you are curious about court dates you can call the courthouse and ask for that persons next court hearings.

I am not a lawyer, but I have some experience in the law.  \nDon't know which state you are from, and that would make a difference.\n\nWith jail budgets getting tighter and tighter, many institutions are opting to pass some of the costs on to the inmates in the form of fees and such.  Whether this is legal in the jurisdiction you are from is whether there is a state law and/or county ordinance to permit it.\n\nOn the second part of your question reference punishing loved ones, it depends on what "punishment" is done and how it is being done.  Contact the Sheriff or jail administrator as they may be able to explain what is going on.  Don't go in making vague accusations of corruption without some evidence and supporting documentation. Ultimately, you may have to contact a local attorney in your area.\n\nDear Old Dad

If you don't have friends or family members in this prison I would highly recommend that you do not locate this prison and do not contact anyone from the inside...my sister did this once and had a correspondence with an inmate and was conned out of hundreds of dollars for this person's commissary....please don't get mixed up into that....you'll regret it...that's why they call them CONS !!!!
