Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Federal Correctional Institution, Terre Haute
To find someone held here, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or locator. Inmate rosters identify people in custody and typically list details such as name, ID or register number, custody location, and custody status; county jail rosters may also show booking date and charges. For a federal facility, the Bureau of Prisons locator may not list every court charge or booking detail, so court records may be needed for case information. New custody records usually take several hours to process and may not appear immediately after arrival or transfer. Check back later if the person does not appear right away.
