Who’s in Jail?

A couple of years ago a boss of mine told me about a website for the San Diego Sheriff that lists information on who is currently being held in their jails. Somebody didn’t show up for work, so he typed the name of the employee and whala… he discovered the guy was in jail. This was good and all, but it didn’t provide a whole lot of information. Today I found two other sites that have blown this first website away (well, at least one).

The first one I found is for Tampa, Florida. Why is this one better? Because it shows’s their mug shots as well. I found it entertaining to look-up people, see their mug shot, and then try to guess why they were in jail. The best way to look up a range of people is to just put a single letter in the Name field (such as “S”).

Another web site is from Tennessee. It’s a Jail Cam, which shows streaming video of the booking room for the Anderson County Jail. Right now there are two people waiting to be processed. I haven’t seen anything exciting yet, just a guy waiting that keeps picking his nose. Man can that guy dig.

Enjoy!
