Jail Guide announces new State Prison Sentence Calculator for most US State DOC

Sept. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- JailGuide.com has announced the addition of an all-new State Prison Sentence Calculator that utilizes algorithms directly from most state prison systems. The prison sentence calculator can tell you how long a prisoner will be incarcerated and how much good time credit they could possibly earn while incarcerated and even suggest a possible prison release date.

The Jail Guide Prison Sentence Calculator may soon be the most widely used prison sentence calculator available online.  The creator of the calculator, Peter Maxwell, is now offering the calculator to law firms and bail bond companies the use of the prison sentence calculator at no charge for use on their websites. http://www.JailGuide.com

The Jail Guide State Prison Sentence Calculator works by first, entering the state where the conviction occurred. The user would then enter the date of possible surrender (if applicable), any time already served and then finally the amount of the prison sentence.
The idea came to Maxwell when talking with a friend who was concerned about when a person was eligible for release from a penitentiary. Maxwell then figured the time by hand and then realized a need for this simple application that could be used by parents and family of prisoners but also to victims of crime.

The prison sentence calculator is extremely easy to use, and if visitors do have problems, the site contains a link that will take them to detailed instructions (http://www.jailguide.com/calculatehelp.php).

Along with being able to use the calculator on law blogs, bail bond websites and other legelese type sites, those website owners may soon be able to add their own link to the calculator to help their clients navigate their site. At this time, website owners in the legal profession can simply embed the calculator directly onto their sites with a special code.

JailGuide.com also maintains a comprehensive database of prisons all over the world. In the U.S., the database includes all Department of Corrections, Federal Board of Prisons, state prisons, county jails, work camps, honor farms and boot camps. Also included are prison facilities in Mexico, Australia, Canada, China, Germany, India, Korea, Japan, Russia, Spain, United Kingdom and more are being added to the database weekly.

Maxwell has also compiled a variety of tools and utilities to aid visitors find an inmate, tips for navigating the system, and information on how penal facilities work. He’s included links to inmate handbooks, visitor guides and information, tutorials, and prison videos. To find inmate prisons on the site, an included inmate search feature has also been built.
