What are the different inmate numbers and how do they work?
I am writing a crime thriller novel and I need to know what the difference between a Register number, FBI number, DCDC number, and INS number is for a federal inmate. Also how are said numbers formatted and how do they work? Thank you very much.
All criminal numbers are assigned in the sequence of the individual criminal to which they are assigned. No matter how many crimes you commit, the same federal numbers will apply to that individual throughout their life. As for prison numbers, they are assigned individually for each criminal offense an inmate may commit. If they are released on parole and return on a parole violation, they will serve under the original number to which they were assigned. If they go out and commit a wholly new crime, they will be returned to prison under a new prison number to serve their sentence for that crime. The NCIC number is the number which the FBI assigns for each person in the country who commits a criminal act, and no matter how many acts they commit, that same number is used for their entire criminal record for the rest of their lives.
