Overview
To find someone at FMC Lexington, start with the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) inmate locator. The database covers federal inmates from 1982 to the present, though posted release dates can lag after First Step Act recalculations. If you have the BOP register number, use it—enter it in five-digit, hyphen, three-digit format (example: 12345-678) for the fastest match. Without a register number, search by full legal name and date of birth. Include known aliases or hyphenated names. No results? Simplify your search, double-check spelling, use the locator's RESET/clear option, and try again. For automatic status updates, register with VINE or another custody-lookup service.
