How to find out whether a person is in prison?

This personal privacy can hardly be found through the relevant departments. However, when recruiting employees, individual employers need the public security organ to issue a certificate of no criminal record, and the interviewee himself can go to the public security organ to issue this certificate. In addition, except for the normal work of the relevant administrative and judicial organs of the state, it is a violation of discipline or even illegal for any public official to conduct an investigation without permission. It is generally not acceptable to go to the public security bureau to check a person's information, because personal privacy is protected by national laws. However, if the public security organ considers it reasonable and legal according to the reasons for the applicant's application, it may decide to help with the inquiry, such as missing persons, finding relatives, committing crimes, etc. And go to the public security organ for consultation.
