i need to find out if a person in spain is in jail, can i find out over the internet?

Answer 1

Even if you could, the websites would be written in Spanish.

Habla usted Español?

If not, then I don't rate your chances.

There is no magical list of prison inmates available for general public viewing, as this kind of thing is usually covered by the data protection act and not available to the general public at large. There is a place you can write to in the UK and an attempt will be made to find a person in custody in a UK jail and pass on a letter to see if they desire contact (Prisoner Location Service, PO Box 2152, Birmingham, B15 1SD) and individual US state records are fairly easy to access via the appropriate department of correction, but I am not sure the Spanish equivalent of the prison service operate such a "prisoner finding" scheme, and if they did, like I said above, you'd need to speak the lingo to get anywhere with your request.

Answer 2

The Data Protection legislation which would prevent your having access to such information in the United Kingdom extends to all EU countries, so you could not find this out through an Internet search. Occasionally, if a person is imprisoned as the result of a high profile case it is possible to access newspaper reports of the trial, but even so it is unlikely that you would gain details of the prison to which he or she has been sent. Perhaps the British Embassy could help?

Answer 3

no you won,t, as prisoners have the right to be protected as well like any one else.in fact why would the home affairs waste their time and privacy by publishing every prisoner they have in their jail. unless he or she is a celebrity or is famous like NAOMI CAMPBELL..

Answer 4

Answer 5

If they are American or any other foreign nationality I would contact their perspective embassy or consulate. Good Luck.
