The facility primarily houses sentenced adult male federal inmates, including inmates requiring high-security custody.

Local arrests, short-term bookings, and most pretrial detention for county cases are generally handled by local or regional jail facilities rather than this federal penitentiary.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Terre Haute USP
To find an inmate here, use the official inmate search link on this page for the facility’s roster or federal inmate locator. Jail rosters commonly list a person’s name, booking date, charges, and custody status; federal inmate searches may instead show the inmate’s name, register number, age, sex, race, release date, and current location. Records usually become searchable only after intake and processing are complete, which can take several hours, so a newly transferred or booked person may not appear immediately. If the person cannot be found, check spelling, try alternate names, or contact the facility or the agency that made the arrest.
FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at Terre Haute USP?
Visits generally require the inmate to place you on an approved visiting list before you can enter the facility. Check the official visiting schedule and rules before traveling, because hours, limits, and approval requirements can change.
What do I need to bring when visiting Terre Haute USP?
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, state ID, passport, or military ID. Follow the facility dress code and leave restricted items in your vehicle or at home, as visitors are subject to screening.
How do I make phone or video calls with an inmate?
Inmates usually make outgoing calls through an approved phone system, and family members may need to set up or fund an account. Video communication may be available only if the facility offers it, so check the official instructions for current options.
How do I send mail to an inmate?
Address mail with the inmate’s full committed name and register number, and use the mailing address listed by the facility. Mail is inspected, and items such as cash, contraband, or unapproved materials may be rejected.
How does the commissary work?
Commissary lets inmates buy approved items such as snacks, hygiene products, and writing supplies. Family and friends may be able to deposit money through approved payment methods, but spending limits and item availability are controlled by the facility.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at Terre Haute USP?
This is a federal prison that mainly houses sentenced inmates, so bail or bond is usually not handled here. If the person has a pending case, contact the court, the U.S. Marshals Service, or the detention facility holding the person for bond information.
What happens during the intake process at Terre Haute USP and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff confirm identity, review records, assess medical and security needs, assign housing, and enter information into the custody system. Search records may take several hours or longer to update, so the inmate may not appear in the system immediately after arrival.
