Overview
The BOP inmate locator is the main tool for finding someone held at FCI Berlin and other federal prisons. It covers federal inmates incarcerated from 1982 to the present, though release dates shown online may be inaccurate after First Step Act recalculations. You can search by name, alias, date of birth, or BOP register number. For register-number searches, use the required format: #####-###. For the best match, have the inmate's full legal name and date of birth ready—use the register number if you have it. Consider signing up for custody-status notifications through VINE/VINELink where available. Always verify critical details directly with the facility, since online rosters can be delayed or incomplete.
