Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Federal Correctional Institution, Greenville
The public can look up people held here using the official inmate search link provided on this page. Federal inmate records are not the same as county jail rosters. County rosters may list a person’s name, booking date, charges, and custody status, while the federal search typically lists identifying details such as name, register number, location, and projected release information when available. Records usually become searchable only after intake and processing are complete, which can take several hours or longer, so a newly transferred or admitted person may not appear immediately. If the person is not listed, check spelling, try the federal register number if known, and search again later.
