How to Find an Inmate at Federal Correctional Institution, Aliceville
Members of the public can look for a person held here by using the official inmate search link available on this page. County jail rosters often list a person’s name, booking date, charges, and custody status, but federal Bureau of Prisons records may instead show the inmate’s name, register number, age, sex, race, facility location, and projected release date. Records are not always searchable immediately after arrival or transfer. Processing can take several hours, and new or transferred inmates may not appear in the system right away. If the search does not return a result, check spelling, try again later, or contact the facility using official contact information.
