Having someone interned in a prison is rather difficult to accept and particularly if you are unaware of where the person is incarcerated. Fortunately life for those related to people incarcerated as well as the detainees has become much easier today as prisons are now renamed as correctional homes and rather than punishment rehabilitation has become the focus. It has become quite easy to locate your loved one with the help of Inmate Locator or Jail Inmate Population Report which is updated regularly to make sure that it is complete and accurate. However it is likely that the information may change quickly so it may be actually difficult to get the absolutely correct information with regard to an inmate. You can get help from sites like pigeonly.
