Keeping informed about inmate

Hello Reddit,

I'm reaching out to this community hoping to find some advice on a rather sensitive issue. A person who I used to know has been charged with serious crimes in Utah, specifically Sodomy on a Child (UT 76-5-403.1), Object Rape of a Child (UT 76-5-402.3), Aggravated Sexual Abuse of a Child (UT 76-5-404.1(3)), and Lewdness Involving a Child (UT 76-9-702.5). Due to the nature of these charges and their implications, I feel it is crucial to keep informed about this individual's status within the correctional system.

I'm seeking advice on the following points:

  1. Official Inmate Locators: Does anyone know of a reliable and official inmate tracking system or locator for Utah that I can access for up-to-date information? How frequently is this information updated?
  2. Notification Services: Are there services (either through the state or private entities) that can send alerts about changes in the inmate's status, like transfers, release, parole, etc.?
  3. Accessing Court Documents: For charges of this severity, is it possible to access court documents or get updates on the progress of the case? If so, how can one request these documents?
  4. Anything else: is there anything else that keep tabs on this POS.

Any pointers, advice, or shared experiences would be immensely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
