How to find out where the prisoner is serving his sentence?

The ways to know where prisoners serve their sentences are:

1, detention center query

Family members can try to call the detention center where the prisoner was originally held to inquire about the whereabouts of the prisoner (the phone number of the detention center can be found on Baidu).

2, the local police station query

Family members can go to the police station where the prisoner's household registration is located, and their intranet can find the information of the prisoner.

3. Inquiries from the prison administration

You can check with the local prison management office.

Expand in detail:

1, detention center query

After sentencing, the prisoners were all transferred from the detention center, so the detention center where they were originally held must know where the prisoners were transferred.

Family members can try to call the detention center where the prisoner was originally held to inquire about the whereabouts of the prisoner (the phone number of the detention center can be found on Baidu).

However, because the staff of the detention center cannot verify the authenticity of the family members' information, they may need to bring relevant documents to the detention center for on-site consultation, otherwise they will not inform the prisoners of the information.

2, the local police station query

Whether it is serving a sentence, criminal detention or administrative detention for public security punishment, the public security system knows it.

Family members can go to the police station where the prisoner's household registration is located, and their intranet can find the information of the prisoner.

3. Inquiries from the prison administration

You can check with the local prison management office.

However, for most family members, this is only a way out. After all, the journey is too long and the round trip is too long.

In addition, the query personnel requirements are:

Whether going to a detention center, the police station where the household registration is located or the prison administration, according to the regulations, only close relatives of prisoners are allowed to inquire, such as parents, spouses, children, brothers and sisters and so on.

If the prisoner is a boyfriend, girlfriend or ordinary friend, if you want to know which prison the prisoner is serving, you can only ask their families.
