How do you find out what an inmate did to be in state prison?
The best way to find out why a person is serving prison time is to ask the person what happened. In many cases you can also look up the person's name in the prison system and see why he or she is there, but not all states allow that, so if the person won't tell you it may be impossible for you to find out.
How long do you spend in jail for violating probation?
That question is very state-specific.
In Georgia, you can be revoked for up to 24 months for a technical violation.
If you commit a new crime while on probation, you can be revoked for either whatever time is left on your old sentence, or the maximum amount of time allowed as a sentence for the new crime. Example: You were sentenced to 20 years for burglary. 3 in prison and 17 on probation. As soon as you get out of prison (by maxing out your sentence) and start probation, you break into a car to steal the radio. That's a 5-year felony. So they can revoke only 5 years on you, not all of the 17 you've got left. But then when your new "entering an auto" case comes up, you can get up to 5 years AGAIN, and it can be (in theory) consecutive to the time you already got on the revocation! And one more thing: If you pled under the "First Offender Act" in Georgia, any violation of your probation can get you re-sentenced, with no limits on the new sentence other than that found in the statute for the Code section you violated.
It depends on the case. It could be anywhere from no time to all of the remaining time left on probation.

Why are so many prison bound inmates held back in jails?
One of the ways prisons deal with overcrowding is to release "small-time" offenders. In addition, they can parole offenders releasing them to half-way houses or back into the community. Lastly, another way is through interstate compact in which a state will transfer their inmate to another state. == == Let some of the inmates out. When Texas was pressed to the gills in the late 80's, they passed a mega-bucks bill to expand the prisons; from like 30 to now over 100. Problem is, that gave ammo to the "tough on crime" legislators and now all those new prisons are full again. And nobody wants anymore prisons. So if they don't ease up on parole requirements, they'll have to start triple or quadruple bunking per cell like they did in the 80's, and the whole mess starts all over again.

Is there a site where you can find out if you live near a pedophile?
There is no easy answer for this. Media hype, paranoia, and simple mass hysteria will argue the points below, but the science is out there, and data does not lie.
Many would say check your state's Sex Offender Registry, but this is not an accurate representation. Not all people on the Registries are or can be categorized as sexual predators. Some were simply teenagers caught up in consensual sexual experimentation. Some were wrongfully accused (it is not uncommon to make an accusation rather than to fight a custody battle--just one illustration). Some were convicted as a result of "buyer's remorse." Many found themselves on the registry for activities as benign as urinating outside. The problem arises in that it is often difficult to know why anyone on the Registries is on the Registries, and it is a very bad practice to make decisions based on faulty, confusing, incomplete, or inaccurate information.
The simplest solution is to take personal precautions with yourself and your children, but not to jump to conclusions.
If it helps, as far as statistics can, those convicted of sexual offenses are the second least likely to re-offend (those convicted of murder are the least likely, and the next most likely are those convicted of robbery or larceny at 67%), nationally about 5%. Of those, fully 87% are the most serious and violent offenders (abductors, serial rapists), and flashers. To put that in terms of raw data (extrapolated from DoJ Bureau of Statistics data):
At the beginning of 2011 there were approximately 750,000 people on the Internet Sex Offender Registries in the 50 US states and the territories that maintain one. Five percent of that is 37,500 (Just over 1% of the population). Of that, 87% is 32,625, just under 1%. Now, keep in mind that the average time incarcerated for these types of crimes--the most serious--(flashers notwithstanding) is about 27.5 years, many are in prison for life. The odds of you coming into contact with an actual sexual predator is about 1:100, at least a convicted one.
That being said, you have to take into account other data (gathered from the American Psychological Association). The incidence of sexual abuse is greater in familial and close relationships. For as long as the phenomenon has been tracked, the rate of sexual abuse of children and adults, male and female has hovered around 80% of all sexually based offenses. Many are perpetrated for years before being reported. However, once reported and addressed (psychologically and/or criminally) the rate of recidivism (repeat offenses) is nearly zero. Repeat offenses do happen; however the rate at which they happen is directly related to treatment received, both quality and duration, for the offenders and the victims.
A conclusive comparison: you are 800 times more likely to be sexually assaulted by a family member or close associate (friend, neighbor, colleague) who has never been convicted of a sexual offense than you are by someone who has been previously convicted.
In short (and with no small amount of dark humor), where you go to find out if you have a sexual predator in your neighborhood is your own dining room at meal time; simply look across the table. And, just to keep matters even and accurate, the rate of female offenders over male offenders is only slightly less (estimated at 10-25% lower than male offenders, depending on the source of the data); male offenders are just far more likely to be reported, and are traditionally given far harsher sentences.
What is the difference between robbery and aggravated criminal trepass?

Should the family of the crime be allowed to decide the punishment of those who commit the crimes?
many people believe that family of a crime..or victims need to be allowed to decide on punishment but unfortunately offenders just like everyone else in society is is protected by the constitution and our amendments. that those who commit a crime has the right for a trial of our peers. and tough so a jury needs to decide on the punishment
