Overview
The main tool for finding someone at USP Big Sandy is the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) inmate locator, which covers federal incarcerations from 1982 to the present. Search by full name or register number, then check key fields like inmate ID, name, sex, race, custody location, and classification. Pay attention to the record's timestamp—online results are snapshots and can be incomplete. Release dates in BOP records may be outdated after First Step Act recalculations, so treat them as a starting point and confirm with official updates. Can't find someone? They may be held in a state or county system instead.
