Ways we use social services

Communications outside of the website are important and the services described here are specifically maintained for that purpose. Agencies and offices of government that also use these services are useful when they use the official pages for announcing changes and use fans and followers when there are emergencies that could use any attention they can get.
For a more direct or personal response, use standard site communications.

Accomplices and partners in crime

We have done a bit of work delivering every jail website possible to make sure everyone has an opportunity to use a free tool to find inmates. Some agencies charge for copies of criminal histories and statistics, we lead you to the point of doing it yourself and finding the person you're after. Accomplices are sites we associate with, services and contributors we'd like to introduce you to. In some way, they have helped us and the website progress, making this and every other page possible. Our linking friends can be found on the partners page.

Keeping you up to speed

Terminology can get confusing, especially if the location has a different vocabulary when talking about confinement. After looking at every possible agency website, we note the most common expressions used locally with synonyms. New features are being designed and tested improving search ability to your experience easier.
