Question

How can you find out whether someone has been in prison?

Answer 1

Usually it's the language and jailbird vernacular,not alwys but quite often.Another way is pay a private dick£5OO AND HE'LL ALSO TELL YOU WHAT HE/SHE WAS IN FOR!

Answer 2

without a SSN it's going to be tough. You can try looking at the website of the county where the person lives. Some crimes require people to register where they live.

Answer 3

contact the Mafia

Answer 4

Unless they tell you, you can't.

Most companies run a Criminal Background Check on all employees prior to employment.  If you work in HR, you are able to find out.

Answer 5

You can't always. If the time after release has covered the spent conviction time, if that's what it is called, it must be kept confidential. Unless maybe for employment in school or similar. Otherwise I imagine, if you ask them they would be committing another offence if they did not tell you. In fact even if you didn't ask they may be obligated to reveal it. If the lie about they run the risk of being found out later and making things much worse.

Answer 6

Ask a friendly policeman - if you're discreet, and have a genuine reason for asking, they may let you know

Answer 7

when the refuse to bend over in public places!! with or without clothes!! hahahah

Answer 8

If you're wondering that, there must be some seriously weird vibe going on to put that in your head. The vibe alone would make me say "see ya!"

oooh I got it! Ask them if they want to get a passport for vacation or go vote with you! lol, that'll tell ya!

Answer 9

They usually have tattoos, like a brick wall, barbed wire or a castle looking watch tower...  Also spider webs are also code for behind bars...  ie the web...  lol  Other than that, just ask them if they have been inside....

Answer 10

Answer 12

ask them

Answer 13

ok lets get this straight under the data protection act you will not legally find out if someone has or hasnt been to prison it would be illegal for a police officer to give such information due to data protection if you had concerns for someone going to prison for a specific crime ie sexual offences etc and you had genuine concerns then make social services aware who can look into it and take any action needed to make you aware but you would not be told if they were locked up or for what reason they could advise you if there was any sort of risk depending on the circumstances

Answer 14

I'll go with;

Ask them.

Don't go around them or behind their back, especially if you know them really well, this could cause problems.
