Prisoner Information?

5 replies

Is there a way to find out what prison somebody went to, who has since been released and is still alive?

My dad went to prison in the 90s. I don't know what for. He left when I was a baby and we only knew he was in prison due to my mum getting a letter to say child maintenance would be stopped. 2 years later CM started again so we know he was released. No idea where he is nor do I care but would love to know what he went in for. I've googled his name as surname is unusual but nothing comes up.

Finding out which prison he went to won't help you find out what he was in for I dont think.

Knowing which prison may give clues to what he was in for, definitely

How ould knowing that he went to Wakefield Prison (or wherever) give you clues to why he was sent down?

OP, If you know a rough timescale and area, can you search through newspaper articles online to find out if it was reported on at the time?

@NoodleNuts well wakefield, for example, is high security so you can rule out theft! And assume something very serious

Littlehey? Well that's obvious. It's for sex offenders

Leyhill? Well maybe tax fraud.

Narrows it down a bit no?
