Finding jails

eenblam edited this page Jul 15, 2024 · 1 revision

I was able to locate about 100 jails via the google search https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=inurl%3Aomsweb.public%2Dsafety%2Dcloud.com. Google doesn't like being crawled, so I just saved all of the result pages to disk, then parsed them into a CSV with bin/google.py.

I imported the CSV into a spreadsheet to clean up the data a bit, remove duplicates, and determine which jails provided usable data. (Some of them require a search to return inmate info, which results in a lot more requests, so I'm not using them yet.)

Then I exported the spreadsheet back to CSV, and converted it to JSON to with bin/convert_csv.py.

I've found other JailTracker jails at strange URLs on occasion (one hosted on the domain omsweb.secure-gps.com, but it seemed... odd.) So there's a chance more could be searched and added to your config.json with the same process.
