Prison Inmate Search on the Web

If you're looking for a prison inmate, or just want more information about the United States criminal justice system, I've rounded up a few good sites. And now, for more general prison inmate and prison information:
  • Photographs from the Arkansas State Prison 1915-1937: Some haunting images here. Includes many female inmate images.
  • Prisoners' Inventions: Some of the ingenious contraptions that inmates come up with while serving their time.
  • Prison Statistics: from the US Department of Justice; lots of prison stats.
  • Alcatraz Official Web Page: The official home on the Web of one of the most infamous prisons in US history.
  • Archaeology at the Andersonville Civil War Prison Camp: Very detailed site; includes exhibits and historical information.
  • Nelson Mandela: Speech on Release from Prison, 1990: The full transcript of Mandela's speech.
  • Martin Luther King's Letter from the Birmingham Jail: My favorite of all MLK's writings.
  • Prison Information and Papers: a list of links to statistics, papers, and other information about the prison system.
  • Prison MegaLinks: "a collection of quality links about prison issues." Includes a table of the cost of housing inmates in each state.
