Overview
The federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Inmate Locator is the main public tool for finding people incarcerated at FCI Terre Haute. Records go back to 1982. Search by name, or use the register number in the required format: five digits, a hyphen, then three digits (#####-###). If the locator shows "Released" or "Not in BOP Custody" with no facility listed, the person is no longer in BOP custody—they may be elsewhere in the criminal justice system or on supervised release. Online records are snapshots, and release dates can lag after recalculations. For updates and alerts, check state offender searches, county jail listings, or SAVIN/VINE.
