How many prisoners are there in Ford Prison?
hard to give a definitive answer - since the 'population' will change on a weekly basis. However - in August of 2008, there were 557 inmates.
Are there too many people in prison?
In the US, yes. In 2004 there were 2.5 million inmates incarcerated in the US, fully 25% of the world's incarcerated. While the US makes up only 5% of the glbal population.
What is the name of the place where convicts live called?
Alcatraz, Gauntanomo Bay to list some of the more famous ones.
How do you write a resume after prison?
I am trying to help my brother with his resume. He has a lot of welding certificates but no experience. He learned all of this while incarcerated.
How do I build his resume and cover letter?
Why does a state prison inmate get transferred to a county prison right before parole?
It may be a a space issue. It is not unusual for prisons to house locally sentenced inmates or local jails to house felony prisoners. Some (many?) prison and jail systems house each other's inmates on a space available basis, so that they do not fall afoul of court decisions which limit the number of inmates that they can house without exceeding a court-imposed limit.
Is it likely that you will get parole after serving only 9 months off a 3 year bit?
Typically, no. However, it will be more accurately determined by your original sentence and the statutory sentencing laws of the state in which you were convicted and sentenced.
For instance, the only way an inmate in Michigan or any of the other Truth in Sentencing states could be reviewed for parole after only nine months would be if the minimum sentence he received was nine months. the shortest term of incarceration I have ever heard of in the MDOC or any state DOC is one year, and most offenders serve eighteen months.
Expect to serve at least half the maximum sentence. There is a saying in prison: "Hope for the best, but expect the worst."
If your maximum sentence was three years, count yourself fortunate, learn your lesson, and change the direction of your life. With a sentence of only three years, you were given a second chance that many never receive.
The movie Prison (1988) was made by Empire Pictures and directed by Renny Harlin.

Is Andy Dufresne a messiah figure?
I don't believe Stephen King meant for him to represent the Messiah so much as embody the flaws within the judicial system. Although his escape could perhaps be considered a resurrection of his life (or freedom), Andy was in no way a completely innocent character, simply innocent of the crime for which he went to jail.
Can you spend your whole life in prison for downloading?
No, you would not spend your whole life in prison for downloading. It is a minor offense, and would be several years at most.
What percent of US prison population are convicted of sex crimes?
As the generic "sex crimes" is not statistically tracked by the FBI (the organization charged with keeping the annual crime statistics in the US and publishing these in four annual publications (Crime in the United States, National Incident-Based Reporting System, Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted, and Hate Crime Statistics) in any comprehensive way (participation in the FBI gathering of data is strictly voluntary, and not all states cooperate with The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, it is just not possible to give a clear number. We may be able to give a general idea though.
The state of Michigan has one of the highest per capita incarceration rates of the US. The incarceration rate of sex offenders in Michigan prisons has been said to hover around 20%. To put that into some sort of real number, there were 50,862 inmates at end of year 2011, so 20% would equal 10,173 (rounded up). In reality there were 2,928 people introduced to the MDOC in 2011 (the newest data available) who were convicted of crimes with a sexual component for which they would be required to register as a sex offender, around 5.7%. Of that 2,928 who where housed in the MDOC in 2011, 259 remained incarcerated at the end of the year, or about .5% of the entire population of the MDOC.
Wow! Having just crunched the numbers myself, I am horrified at the rampant epidemic of sex crimes being committed in the state of Michigan. To put it into a larger perspective:
The conviction rates of sex crimes in the state of Michigan is in the high 90's percent (varies a little by county). Those who are accused are most often convicted. Round the number of accused up to 3,000 to take into account the very few acquittals. So, with a population of 9,883,360, the rate of sexual offenses per capita in Michigan is about .003% -- a statistical hiccup. With a recidivism rate around 3.5%, an estimate of 103 (rounded up) of those sent to prison in 2011 for "sex crimes" may reoffend, or less than 10% of the inmate population of a single MDOC facility.

What is the prefix for prison?
Im+ is the prefix, making it imprison. That is the verb form of prison, meaning to put someone in a prison. It can also mean to detain someone (which can be in an illegal sense, as in the case of illegal imprisonment or kidnapping).
Is Dog the Bounty Hunter in Prison?
Not Currently. Duane Chapman, more commonly known as Dog the Bounty Hunter, did spend time in the Texas State Penitentiary in the late 1970's after being convicted of murder. He had been waiting in a nearby car while a friend was trying to by some "pot". The friend (possibly accidentally) shot the dealer in the midst of a fight. Since it was a killing in the midst of committing a crime it became murder and Duane got charged as an accessory for being involved in the drug deal.
Duane did spend some time in a Mexican jail and in federal detention in connection with his capture of Andrew Luster, a convicted rapist, who jumped bail and fled to Mexico. The Mexican authorities charged him and his team with kidnapping since bounty hunting is not legal in Mexico. After he was released on bail, Duane and his team became bail-jumpers themselves and returned to the USA. Eventually Mexican authorities got the US Marshalls to arrest them and requested they be extradited back to Mexico. After spending a night in federal detention (Duane referred to it as "federal prison") he was released on bail. Eventually a court in Mexico dismissed all criminal charges pending against Duane based on the statute of limitations expiring.
