Any way to find out what someone was in prison for?

I met a guy I used to work next to and was quite good friends with on the bus today after not having seen him for a few years.
The thing is.....I know he was sacked, but two people who worked with him, and who I believe, told me a while after that he was actually in prison. They did not know or would not tell me why though.
When I met him he did say he had been sacked but didn't mention being in prison and I didn't ask about that.
He gave me his mobile number and suggested we keep in touch, but I am wary as I have no idea why he was in prison and I feel like I want to know before I contact him.
Is there a way to find out?

If that doesn't turn anything up, do the same on Google.
However, if he has a common name this approach could be very hard work
you can access private info like this as long as you dont live in the country...
so if you know someone who lives abroad...ask them to check for you.
its like, we are allowed access to USA sex offenders register.....and vise versa....but you cant get access to your own countries.
might be worth a try

Whaaat? Seriously? How weird is that!
oh yeah, so they did! i forgot about that law.
but i do know, that someone living abroad, can gain access to our info like that, im not certain how,or how much...but i knew someone who did it.
good luck!

and come back and tell us what happened.
I wouldn't ask him directly... would feel uncomfortable doing that, because you're kind of compelling someone to talk about something that they probably would rather forget. If you're good enough friends I think he'd volunteer the info at some point.
what a load of tripe,
Lol, agree. Americans cant see whose on their sex register from America? Megans Law?
