Mostly likely just State Prison. Does that sound fitting to your inmate?
How do you know how much time there doing if l it says is SP?
I would hate to think it meant sexual predator, but is that possible?
Possibly "special population" used for certain prisoners that are segregated from other prisoners, as opposed to "general population" or ""gen pop," but it could be any of a number of things. It varies from state to state, prison to prison.
You should simply call the prison and ask, this is not privileged information. The prisons I have worked with have always been very helpful, so I would guess a simple phone call could clear things up. Good luck
SP4 is the disp code when the inmate is being picked up and transferred to State Prision. Once sentenced, the inmate will be held at County Jail as the paperwork, is processed and forwarded to State Prison. The disp code will start at SP2, and change to SP3 and eventually SP4. Once status is noted as SP4, the inmate is usually picked up from County jail, and transferred to whichever State Prison reception they will spend reception period, within a few days of disp. code updating to the SP4 status.
I would say sexual predator. Call your local jail or police station.
