That I knew. But the way you wrote it was you saw it was down-voted first, and then up-voted it. That's what confused me.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Hello. This is no fun but I wonder if there is a public web-searchable - or other "inquire-able" - way to find out if a person has been incarcerated in the state of New York. And if he/she is not, could such inquiries/searches get this person into any trouble? A person dear to me, across the Atlantic, has vanished from the face of the earth. Thanks a bunch.

Usually one would first call the hospitals in the area. After that, the neighbours would be getting a call.
Is there any reason you're expecting incarceration?

Looks like regularly scheduled maintenance intervals. 15 minutes on weekdays, 60 on weekends. 
It'd be interesting to see if it'a actually always down the interval, or just that they're not promising anything during that time period.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Give this a try: Instant Checkmate | Background Checks, Arrest Records and Public Records[^] - it's surprising what it can find, apparently!
[edit]
Forget it - they want money for the report before you are even sure it's the person you wanted, ratehr than someone with a similar name and state.

Living in NYC is indistinguishable from incarceration, but with the disadvantage that you don't turn up on any search engine (unless you're the tweety type), and nobody gives you food for free.
(with apologies to the OP, sorry about your loved one's misfortune)

I'm not sure that's quite true: you get better food and medical care in prison!

Well, given the numbers involved[^], you're right not to try to do it by phone.
I love this statement to bits:Quote: In the last forty years, incarceration has increased with rates upwards of 500% despite crime rates decreasing nationally.

Who thought that imprisoning criminals leads to a reduction of crime? He must be crazy!

..that is not what it is saying; crime is going down, and yet there are more criminals locked up.
Which is not surprising, given the monetary incentive

If a criminal is locked up he isn't able to commit crimes, thus the decrease. It just means that police forces are better at jailing criminals before they can commit a relevant number of crimes.

First part of your argumentation is incorrect. You can commit crimes while being locked up. You are also assuming that crimes are mostly committed by repeating criminals.
