Hi,\n I know how to find your friend and how to find out what prison he is in...\n First go to google and type in any prison that you know the name of.\n Then after you type in the name of any prison...that prison website will show up on your screen.\n Click on the button to the right side of the screen that says: offender search.\n  Then be sure to scroll down and click on the "I accept these terms and conditions" button. (be sure to read it throughly before you click on anything, since its a prison website)\n After you click on "I accept the terms and conditions" button,  Then...\n Type in all the info that you know about your friend (Name, age, sex, and anything else) in the spaces provided. include as much info as you can.\n A screen will pop-up with your friends info on it...click on your friends name at the botton of the screen and more info will be given on him on the next screen.\n This screen will now give you, your friends info. It will list what prison he/she is in as well as the reason why he/she is serving time. \n It will also tell you all the info that was recorded on him at the time that he/she was picked-up by the police (or whoever it is that picked him/her up) \n I hope that I just helped you to find your friend...Good luck!\n\nPS...remember to read the terms and conditions carefully before you click on the "submit" button...its important!!

Call the Clerks Office where the inmate has charges.  Usually that info is public info.

Check out different department of corrections of states he has lived in.  They usually have an offender search option.

You can go to the Federal Bureau of Prison's site at:\nwww.bop.gov. There is a federal inmate locator tool at that site.

Call the agency that had the warrant(s) on the person to see if he/she is incarcerated. Ask to speak to someone in detention, then just ask if the person is there. If the person is in prison, you can search online. Many states have a Department of Corrections website that can be used to search for past and present offenders. They usually have a picture of the prisoner and a list of what he/she was convicted for, when he/she started the sentence and when he/she is up for parole, parole review, or release. Just search for "state + department of corrections." Hope this helps.

Yeah, do a google for your state and the dept. of corrections.  Florida has onelike Illinois where you can search offender past and present, their charges, the time they were in, find pictures, etc.

Normally you just call the jail.  Just tell them you are looking for someone you believe to be in their custody.  They will ask for a name and tell you yes or no.  They will normally also tell you if the person is waiting to be sentenced or if they have been sentenced, etc.

You can call the police department that arrested the individual and see if they can direct you to the correct jail.  See if they have the number or website of that specific jail.  If they give you the website you can probably do a search of the individual on-line.

Call the jail...most counties do not keep a current public website for inmate information.

A lot of states have online queries that let you check inmate names in the state system.  You might do a search for the Louisiana Dept. Of Corrections and see if they have this ability.  If they don't you can usually send them an email with a name.
