How many years would you get for ID Theft?
The increase in crimes of identity theft lead to the drafting of the Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act. In 1998, The Federal Trade Commission appeared before the United States Senate. The FTC discussed crimes which exploit consumer credit to commit loan fraud, mortgage fraud, lines-of-credit fraud, credit card fraud, commodities and services frauds. The Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act (2003) [ITADA] amended U.S. Code Title 18, § 1028 ("Fraud related to activity in connection with identification documents, authentication features, and information"). The statute now makes the possession of any "means of identification" to "knowingly transfer, possess, or use without lawful authority" a federal crime, alongside unlawful possession of identification documents. However, for federal jurisdiction to prosecute, the crime must include an "identification document" that either: (a) is purportedly issued by the United States, (b) is used or intended to defraud the United States, (c) is sent through the mail, or (d) is used in a manner that affects interstate or foreign commerce. See 18 U.S.C. § 1028(c). Punishment can be up to 5, 15, 20, or 30 years in federal prison, plus fines, depending on the underlying crime per 18 U.S.C. § 1028(b). In addition, punishments for the unlawful use of a "means of identification" were strengthened in § 1028A ("Aggravated Identity Theft"), allowing for a consecutive sentence under specific enumerated felony violations as defined in § 1028A(c)(1) through .
AnswerIt depends on what is involved. It can be a state and/or Federal crime. For example using a driver's license in the state I Reside is a Class "D" felony (higher depending on the circumstances). The use of someone else's or a false SS# is a Federal crime and can carry serious penalties. Recently a man was sentenced to seven years in a Federal penitentiary for using his brother's ID, SS# to get a car loan.____________________________________________________________
Answer:
Falsely posing as another person is a criminal act and carries serious penalties. If you have been accused of or charged with an identity theft crime, your case may be filed as either a misdemeanor or a felony.
A misdemeanor charge is punishable by up to one year in jail. A felony is punishable by 16 months or more of state prison time. The charge and sentence will depend on the following:
- Seriousness or degree of the victim's harm
- Amount of monetary damage
- The sophistication of the crime
- Defendant's past criminal record
- Internet theft: the Internet crosses state lines, so the theft can also be charged as a federal crime
The scariest part of all of this is sometimes the person who is the victim is actually the one who ends up in jail. Yes it is true. Many times the thieves never even get caught. Authorities come after the victim when an identity theft thief commits fraud in someone else's name. Go to

Can you get married to a prison inmate in Minnesota?
Yes. In Colorado you can do an absentee application which you pick up in person. The only thing that is required is to fill out the application and send it to the inmate for his signature which must be notarized. All Colorado prisons have notaries. Once you get the application back from the offender, then you take it and his birth certificate or other approved ID (prison ID's are not acceptable) to the county clerk's office. They will issue you the marriage license and then you and the offender can self-solemnize the ceremony. You sign the marriage license as both bride and groom and also as officiant. You will not be allowed to take the marriage license into the facility or send it to the inmate for signing, so it's best to get his Power of Attorney to do that. Then file the license with the county clerk where you got it and you're married. Colorado also recognizes marriage by proxy, but it's way more difficult to do than an absentee application. Google any Colorado Clerk and Recorder website and they will have information on each way to do it. Good Luck!

How can you send money online for an inmate at North Kern Prison?
You can go to www.jpay.com and send money. I've used it twice. It says they process the money overnight, however, one transaction took 2 days another took 4 days, and they DO NOT notify the inmate that they have money. You will need to tell the inmate that you are sending it.
How much time do you serve on a 30 year sentence?
It depends differs between State and Federal. If I'm not mistaken State time offers 65% of your time. Federal is 80 or 85%. There is currently a Bill pending that is looking to lessen time on federal sentences for "certain" charge/offenses.
How much time do you usually serve on 30 day county jail?
15 days
AnswerIt depends on the location. Some places are straight time (you'd do 30 days) some give 2 for 1 for good time (you'd do 15), some give 3 for 1 (do 10.) On a short sentence, you are unlikely to get out early for good behavior, but early parole is common on prison terms. (Short sentences are normally not served in prison, but in local county jails.)
You may also get credit for any time served (at arrest) or have other factors, such as probation, that influence how your time is counted. Some locations will also allow short sentences to be served on weekends or through work release. Before entering a plea, you should speak with your attorney to find out how much of this time you can expect to do.
Who pays for the funeral of an inmate who dies in prison?
It's hard to say, anyone really.
The three most likely people to pay for your funeral are:
1. Your family/children (12%)
2. Your girlfriend/boyfriend (7%)
3. Your best friend (1.6%)
Do inmates get cash when they are released?
No. Generally they are released with the clothes they entered with, the clothes they may have purchased to wear for visits while incarcerated, or are issued ill fitting Khakis or other institutional clothes. No funds are issued. If the inmate has no family or friends to pick him up from the correctional institution, the DOC will, if notified in time, issue a bus ticket and escort the inmate--still in chains--to the bus station.
Actually for California, inmates do get cash "Gate Money", they get so much money for each day they were incarcerated. My ex-husband was in prison, when he was released after serving 3 or 4 months he was given about $80 or $90 when he was released. Also, they didn't keep the clothes he was wearing when he was arrested. He said they trash it, I had to send him "Dress Outs", which is basically whatever clothes he wants to wear when he's released so long as it is approved by the prison.
**Note**: Each state will have a different policy as is evidenced by the comment about the CA penal system. Idaho allows inmates to earn a little cash while in prison depending upon their custody level. It isn't very much: the hourly wage ranges from .15 cents/hr for janitorial work in state-owned buildings to as much as 1.00/hr for wildfire fighting in the rangelands and forests. The inmate (if smart) can sock away a nice little nest egg by the time he hits the gate. Nevertheless, the state does NOT pay them "gate money". That is a stupid policy IMO.
How do you send a letter to inmate at san quentin prison?
Visiting procedures have changed radically in the past few years, and varies from state to state. Many prison have their own rules, while the other rules are statewide or federal. They may also vary according to the security level to which the inmate was assigned. You would have to check with the prison for their specific rules.
Most states employ part-time police officers. In this case, some police officer can work for as many as seven different police departments; this would mainly depend on the department's policies and procedures.
What is life like in juvinile prison?
It depends entirely upon the facility you might be sentenced to. That wuold have to do with the seriousness of the offense and/or your past juvenile record. Minimum security facilities can resemble military barracks, Hih security facilities can resemble jail.
Is corporal punishment a good thing when you comment a crime?
I will assume that you meant "commit" a crime. The answer is "no". While the death penalty deters crime if enacted swiftly, there is little evidence to support coporal punishment as a whole. Pscyholgically speaking, violence begets violence. Therefore, corporal punishment for those who break the law (or for misbehaving children, for that matter) is not an effective form of punishment.
How do you send money to an inmate in Chino state prison?

Note that their web site is jpay.com NOT jaypay.com That is a copycat site. I have used jpay.com and it seems secure.
What work did male convicts do?
Depends on when you are talking about. I'm from England, where they can be notoriously cruel bastards, which is why I escaped, but up until as late as the 1960s men who were "hard" cases and done serious crimes (serious crimes usually involve poor people stealing from the wealthy, did you notice that?) like bank robbery or train robbery or most everything short of murder for which they were (rightly so in my opinion) hanged in pretty short order without the 10 years on death row crap we get here in the US.
Anyway, these "hard" cases were sentenced to many years at "hard labour" which essentially meant that they were put into a particularly miserable prison with a huge rock pile and they spent most of every waking hour smashing rocks with a big hammer. When they were all smashed, they bought in another truckload of rocks. I suppose the smashed rocks became gravel for the driveways of the wealthy so they could hear the tires on their Jaguar crunch nicely as they reflected on how cleverly they had managed to steal another million pounds or dollars or francs or rubles or yen with some creative "standard accounting practices."
I understand work in prison today is at least more productive. Yes, they punch out license plates, but there are many lifers who would probably smash your face clean through the back of your head for less than nothing who make beautiful wooden toys or ships that are sold and the money returned to buy more supplies in an economy that doesn't allocate much money for mahogany for prison workshops. Their is a store in Maine that sells such items, and quite beautiful and expensive some of them are, and I believe a good slice of that actually goes to local charities.

When an inmate is sentenced to state prison when does their time start?
There time starts when they arrive at the holding prison. Most times they will get time served for the time they spent in county jail.
State time starts the second the sentence is announced by the judge. Time served is also credited.
How long does it take for one to be released from jail once he has gone before parole board?
Question cannot be answered in any exact timeframe. The PB must first consider the request - approve it - act on it - then accomplish the administrative paperwork necessary to authorize the relaease - arrange to have them assigned to a parole officer for monitoring and follow-up.
All this takes a certain amount of time which will necessarily be different from situation to situation and state to state.

How much time does a federal inmate have to serve on a 46 month sentence?
In the Federal system at time of sentencing people are sentenced to a term of incarceration and a term of supervised release to be served once they get out. If a person is sentenced to 46 months incarceration they serve that minus any jail time already served before they are realeased.
