Answer 2

Hello Tisha. The charges a person is incarcerated for and the EDS ( Expiration of Definete Sentence or release date) is considered public knowledge.

You can call the facility, ask for records, identify the individual and they are allowed by law to tell you when his time with the state is done.

There is a catch 22 here though. They are not allowed to tell you if he has a detainer (hold) on him. Although his time with the state is over, the authorizing agency that places a detainer will be sitting in Sallyport waiting to take him to their jurisdiction to answer to them.

I hope this helps and you can find it useful
