Is there a website I can search to find out what sentence my boyfriend got?

I have not gotten any letters and from another post, I hear people get letters everyday, so I don't know why my boyfriend is not writing to me.
I need to know what is going on.

Has your man got money to get paper and pens so that he can by them to be able to write to you?
Someone on hear would know where you can look to find him and how long his got....can you talk to his mum and dad about it?

Your state should have a district court site. Ours is Wisconsin Circuit court something.

Or look under your county court system, they may have it. Ours tells us the future court dates, what the sentence was, etc.

If he is in Federal Court you can go to BOP.gov ans that will tell you.

My son had court on May 13 which was rescheduled many times before. I haven't heard from him yet but his girlfriend said the website said he plead guilty. There are so many places to hunt and peck on the website; I finally found where it does say he plead guilty. However there is no sentenced information.
I think you'll have to get his jail ID# and call the county court or find his lawyer and ask them. Otherwise you may not know what the sentence is until (1) the county updates their website or (2) you hear from him when he gets to the facility where he gets placed. Sometimes a newly placed prisoner has to wait 30 - 60 days to be able to have a visit.

Vinelink 2.0 tells where they are located in almost all 50 states. You can click on either county jails or department of corrections. It's usually updated every 24 hours.
