Long Distance Information

This came up in a different context over the weekend but for those of you with loved ones caught up in the prison system, or you're trying to find an address to write to someone who is locked up, the Bureau of Prison's inmate locator is a handy tool to keep track of where they are.

For instance, if you wanted to send a note to Tommy Chong, this turns up by simply entering his name into the system:

Inmate Register Number :

07798-068

Name : THOMAS B KIN CHONG

Age : 65

Race : WHITE

Sex : MALE

Projected Release Date : 7/06/2004

Location : TAFT CI
1500 CADET ROAD
TAFT , CA 93268

Phone Number : (661)763-2510

While you're thinking of it, why don't you send Tommy a card. Mail call is the only bright spot in an inmate's day.
