If you don't have your son's inmate number, you can still take a few steps to locate it and proceed with adding funds, sending letters, or arranging other forms of communication. Here’s how you can obtain his inmate number:
1. Use the Facility’s Inmate Search Tool:
- State Department of Corrections Website: Most state correctional systems have an online inmate locator where you can search by the inmate's full name. Simply enter your son’s name (Jack Paul Pallaschke) to find his inmate ID number.
- County Jail Inmate Search: If your son is in a county jail, check the county sheriff's department website, as many have online inmate search tools.
2. Contact the Facility Directly:
- Call the jail or prison where your son is being held and ask for his inmate number. You will need to provide his full name and possibly his date of birth to verify his identity. Facility staff should be able to give you his inmate ID.
3. Use Online Inmate Search Services:
- Websites like VINELink (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) provide a national database where you can search for inmates by name and state. This is especially useful if you’re unsure which facility your son is in.
4. Ask Family or Friends:
- If others have been in contact with your son, they may already have his inmate number. Reach out to any family or friends who might have this information.
Once you have his inmate number, you’ll be able to deposit funds, send mail, arrange phone calls, and stay in touch. If you need further help, feel free to ask.
