Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Federal Correctional Institution, Pollock
To find someone held here, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or locator. Local jail rosters often list a person’s name, booking date, charges, and custody status, but federal prison search results may instead show the inmate’s name, register number, age, sex, release date, and current location. New custody records are not always searchable right away. Processing after arrest, transfer, or intake can take several hours, and records may not appear immediately. If the person was recently arrested on a federal case, they may first be in U.S. Marshals custody or a local holding facility before appearing in the federal locator.
