  Inmate Locators

 Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Information
    You may search the database using the inmate's Register number, DCDC number, FBI number, INS number, or by using the inmate's first and last name. All Federal inmates, starting in 1982, are in the inmate locator, including current inmate population and those released. Only persons convicted of violating Federal laws (that is, laws of the United States) are sent to Federal prisons. (While the Federal Bureau of Prisons does house a few state inmates, most inmates convicted of violating state or local laws are sent to state prisons or city or county jails.) There are also links to state correctional institutions.
