If you know what state and county the person may have committed them in you can call the court clerk there. It is public record.\nOr you can pay to have a check done.

In Florida we don't have parole so this may be the wrong answer however it could be worth trying, go to the Texas department of Corrections website and go under the offender search section type in their name and it should give you their expexted release date.

If you are looking for someone in particular try OTIS. You can get to it from Michigan's home page. All you do it input the name and other details and it will tell you what prison they are in, the length of the sentence, the crime, and even if they have been released.

You can do an offender search on the Florida dept of corrections web site.\n\nSee this link...\nhttp://www.dc.state.fl.us/inmateinfo/inmateinfomenu.asp\n\nIt is very easy to use.  You can search for current inmates, previous inmates, etc.  You can get last known addresses too.

Most states have a government website that gives you a list of all the people who have been areested in that state. Try going to www.(your state's initials).gov You'll probably find a link there. Or, use dogpile to get a basic background on a person. If there is a warrant or any other charges against a person, Google will normally find it. Type something like, "Bubba Joe" and "Corrections". That should get a listing for that person if they have any charges. Finally, you can go to your local Police Station, they can help you out with anyone from your state for a small $5 fee ($5-$10 depending on the state.)

Most states corrections departments have web sites now.  They may not be up to the minute but the info may be there.  Otherwise, try the parole officer or district parole office.

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.

That would depend upon the reason you need to find out. If it is in order to hire a person (especially for jobs which involve sensitive information or contact with certain groups, such as children) then your local police department will be able to run a background check on the person.\nIf it is someone in prison, and you have a legitimate reason to find out the reason the person has been incarcerated, the correctional facility itself will be able to give you that.\nIf you are just wondering/nosey you may be able to find out by getting a background check through a private firm such as: \nhttp://www.internet-detective.be/\nor\nhttp://www.crimcheck.com/\n\nThere any privacy laws that protect the individual's personal information, which can make it difficult to find out such info.

Laws on probation and punishment of juveniles vary by state.  The person might even have been charged as an adult, so it is really impossible to give a specific answer to your question without more facts.\n\nThe minor or parent should be able to read the court's file.  In the file, you will find the record of the conviction and the sentence.  The sentence should specify how long probation was to be or when it terminates.

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.
