Hello and thanks so much for choosing this forum to pose your important legal question. I will do my best to give you some honest and accurate guidance.

I believe that you are referring to a situation where a hearing was held, it was determined that there was sufficient evidence to sustain the revocation of probation, and the person was ordered to be committed to prison or wherever they were originally sentenced to serve. In other words, the person violated their probation and now has to serve out their sentence. If you had something else in mind please let me know and I would be glad to answer further.

If we can be of any further assistance please free to use our service again. Best wishes for a successful outcome.

O.k. but here is my issue with that. In the paper work that I can get to it says and I qoute

COMPONENT DEEMED APPROPRIATE WITH
028 Sentencing comments: MOVEMENT AS APPROPRIATE BY THE AGENCY.
029 DEFT IS REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH ALL REQUIRED RULES, REGULATIONS,
    TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS, PROCEDURES   AND PAY ALL REQUIRED FEES
    COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS AS WELL AS THE    FOLLOWING SPECIAL CONDITI
030 WEEKLY DRUG TESTING

That is taken directly out of the court minutes. When I look for her in the inmate search for our county I can't find her. I have also not heard from her and just want to know where she is at and if she is ok. In her last case it said where they were sending her and now I can't seem to find out. Why?

Hello again and thanks for writing back. If you will help me understand the situation I will be glad to try and help.

Who is the "her" to whom you are referring (i.e. is this a relative?).

You mentioned you searched the county. Have you searched for this person to see if she is an inmate in the state penitentiary? Here is the place to start.

Please let me know what you find out and I will try and answer further.

I have custody of her 13 yr old daughter (and no I am not the biological father). She was originally in rockville in Indiana but this all just happened today in Marion Co. I looked in the mcsd jail inmate management system to find her and she is not there she is not home and the site you gave me still says returned to the court authority upon release. I am worried as she has a history of attempted suicide and has been diagnosed as bi-polar. I know they revoked probation and closed that. I just don't know how to find out where she is.

Court finding Defendant to have violated conditions of probation,
    Court now revokes probation and ORDERS Defendant committed on
    sentence heretofore imposed:
017 As to Count 001, Sentence imposed   547 D;
    Executed   547 D; Suspended     0 D.
018 Defendant assessed court costs of $   159.50 and total fines of
018 $      0.00.
019 Abstract of Judgment issued and filed (H.I.).
XXX XXXXXXXX XXXXX Commitment Order
021 End of Update Sentencing/Commitment
022 Sentencing comments: PROBATION REVOCATION
023 Sentencing comments: DOC TO AWARD GOOD TIME CREDIT IN
024 Sentencing comments: ACCORDANCE WITH INDIANA LAW.
025 Hearing held.
026 Probation closed.

Meant to tell you that is what is above what I sent you last time. I just want to know she is ok and hasn't done anything stupid again. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for taking the time to help me with this.

Hello again. This makes much more sense now. Thanks for sending the additional information. By the way, I commend you for stepping up to the plate and taking care of the child. Well, having reviewed the additional information it certainly seems that a hearing was held, her probation was revoked, and she was sentenced to serve 547 days in the Indiana Department of Corrections with credit for good time to be awarded. I don't know how to explain the online inmate locator results, but I can tell you that I have used these many times before in different states and sometimes they can be really out of date or even contain inaccurate information. Other than continuing to check back with the online inmate finder, I would also suggest that you contact the Indiana Ombudsman Bureau and see if they can assist you. I wish I had more to offer, but the sad truth is that sometimes people in "the system" can slip away and be very difficult to locate. I hope that things works out and you can have your mind put to ease. Take care and thanks again for using jA!
