You need to do WHATEVER the prisoner and his sister tell you to do, because they really OUGHT to be running your life.\n\nYou obviously lack the ability to control yourself, so let others control you.\n\nOr-- you could grow a backbone and put and end to it.

What state is that in? Please add details and I'll find it for you...meanwhile, visit the appropriate state forum at http://www.prisontalk.com and I bet someone there can answer your questions without your needing a list

Just wanted to add that there is a wonderful support and information group at http://prisontalk.com\nThere is a forum dedicated to just Ohio questions and discussions.\nI've got a "someone special" locked up, too, and this group has helped me a great deal.

Good luck!It's not gonna happen,the prison won't tell you if the person is in there.They cannot give out that type of information.They will assume you are trying to help the person break out or are after the person for some type of vendetta.

Yes, my father is a prison guard and they not only have a weight room, but they also have a gym. It's rather interesting, although prisoners are behind bars, they have free gym memberships while we have to pay!

Is he guilty?  If he's still in jail from 1979 - it must have been pretty heinous.  I vote you leave him there until he's finished serving his time.

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

I met this guy named Derek on line. He wasn't so bad personality wise.  He had posted some pictures of himself and he didn't look so bad on the pics.  I went to met him face to face he looked HORRIBLE. His skin looked smooth in the pics but when I met him in person he had pineapple skin he had a lot of "craters" and red pimples on his face.   He had on a raggedy wrinkled t-shirt, wrinkled raggedy jeans, his car smelled stale, his hair was all over his head it wasn't combed, he had long finger nails and raggedy old sneakers.  Plus he was skinny as a crack head and his teeth looked funny.  I promised him dinner so we went out to eat and it was really hard looking at him.  We went to the mall and it felt really awkward.  We didn't hold hands or touch each other because I was angry because not only was he  ugly but I had gotten my hair fixed, bought a cute outfit from Jcpenney had a complete makeover to meet up with someguy who looked like a  skinny crackhead who just came out of the cornfields somewhere in the country. Plus he had road rage like a muther.

Huh? What are you trying to find out? \nAre you looking for a person? Are you trying to learn about prisons? I happen to know a great deal about prisons but I can't answer if I don't know what the question is.

call the prison...give them his full name...they should be able to give you all the information you need depending on rules and regs, some won't give info to anyone who is not either a family member or the spouse of an inmate...you can get his doc # off your states doc website and you can get the prisons address there also, then all you have to do it write to him care of the prisions name with his doc # at the top of the address...

Your fiance was in prison and he still hasn't learned not to try to circumvent the law? sounds to me like he is lucky to be out in the first place.

I've never been there as a prisoner, but I have volunteered as an ex-offender advocate. Sometimes, that has involved going to the site of their incarceration before release. That is a great idea. Also, children of incarcerated people are a very often overlooked "need" group. Good luck to you.

Well, you already covered some of the biggest red flags that he's not on the level...There's really no way to tell for sure, but listen to your gut, not people who don't understand the situation....Until the DOC becomes a part of their routine, most folks are apt to assume that all inmates are simply pond scum or worse and will judge their motives accordingly...listen to your gut, you already know the answer to your question better than I possibly could...\nAnd check out this link for a lively discussion of EXACTLY this question http://prisontalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=184771
