Overview

The BOP Inmate Locator at bop.gov/inmateloc/ is the official system for locating federal inmates. Enter the inmate’s full name or BOP register number to find the current facility, status, and projected release date. FCI El Reno’s BOP institution code is ERE. Federal inmates are moved between facilities for custody, program, or bed-management reasons, so current location may differ from where the inmate was originally sentenced.

Using the BOP Inmate Locator

The BOP Inmate Locator is the authoritative system for federal inmate records. Visit https://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/ and enter:

Full first and last name (nicknames will return fewer results)
BOP register number (if known)

The results show the inmate’s current facility, status, and projected release date.

What to Have Ready

Gather the BOP register number and full legal name before you search. If the inmate was recently transferred, the BOP locator updates within 24 to 48 hours.

If the Search Comes Back Empty

If you cannot find the person, double-check the name spelling and BOP number. If still empty, wait 24 hours and search again. Then call FCI El Reno at 405-262-4875 or contact the U.S. Marshals Service for pretrial inmates.

Federal vs State Systems

Federal inmates are under BOP jurisdiction. Do not confuse them with state facilities. If the inmate was sentenced in state court, use the Oklahoma DOC Offender Lookup instead.
