Locate a person in jail

[OzMan]

An acquaintance messaged me a couple of weeks ago that he was due in court in two days, and was currently in jail. I do not know why. Since then, there has been no word from him, and I assume he is in jail, having been sentenced by the court. Is there a way of finding out if he is in jail, and if so, which jail, and can I contact or visit him? He lives in Bangkok.

Maybe contact his embassy. They should have been made aware of his imprisonment.

Good Luck, it took us about three months to find a Belgian friend that was inprisoned because of what his partner was doing, guilt by association, took a lawyer to finally get them to disclose his whereabouts.  Once found, they quickly deported him back to Belgium and blacklisted for 10 years even with no proof of guilt. He wrote us and his partner was smuggling heroin in Surfboards their company was sending to Europe.

Out of curiousity, did you inquire at the Belgium Embassy in Thailand?

I once located someone held in the Immigration Detention Center by going there and inquiring about whether someone by that name was detained there. I knew the name of the detainee. The Immigration Detention Center then gave me her cell number and detainee number. If you have some idea of where your acquaintance is held, going there and inquiring may yield result. I guess prisons are glad to get visitors because it brings them money.
