Overview
Inmates at FCI Beckley appear in the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Inmate Locator, which covers federal records from 1982 to the present. Start with whatever identifying information you have. If you know the register number, use the BOP's required format to narrow your results. One caution: release dates shown may be outdated due to First Step Act reviews and sentence recalculations, so check back periodically. If the locator shows "Released" or "Not in BOP Custody" with no location listed, the person is no longer in BOP custody. "UNKNOWN" for release date usually means the person is pretrial or not yet sentenced.

Why does the inmate locator show a different release date than I expected?
The BOP warns the release date shown on the locator can be outdated after First Step Act sentence reviews and recalculations. Check the locator periodically instead of relying on a single snapshot.
What does 'Released' or 'Not in BOP Custody' mean on the BOP Inmate Locator?
It means the person is no longer in BOP custody, and they may be elsewhere or on supervised release. If no location is shown, don’t assume they’re still in a BOP facility.
Where can I find FCI Beckley’s phone number and mailing address?
Use FCI Beckley’s Bureau of Prisons facility page under “Locations” to find the most current phone number and mailing address. The BOP directs facility-specific operational questions to the facility page rather than a central office.
