Overview
FCI Terminal Island inmate lookup is handled through the federal system, and searches require a BOP register number in the format #####-### to return a match. County, state, and federal inmate locators cover different populations and don't share databases—a federal search won't show state or local detainees. Third-party inmate search sites exist online, but they can be incomplete or outdated. For anything that needs to be exact, confirm custody status through the official BOP site. Need ongoing updates? Look into official notification services (like statewide VINE programs) or other trusted resources that track custody changes. Where an official system asks for it, enter the inmate's full first and last name to improve match accuracy.
