The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) locator covers federal inmates and nothing else. Someone doing time on a Pennsylvania state sentence sits with the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (PA DOC), in a completely different system with its own search. Even inside the federal system, a man moves through several stages before he lands at a low-security prison like this one. He’s designated after sentencing, and low security often comes later in a sentence, so a search may show him somewhere else first and update once he transfers here.
His 8-digit federal register number is the surest way in, and you’ll use it again on every letter and every deposit. If you’re going by name, match the court paperwork exactly, then try variations. Read any result carefully before you make plans, because the Allenwood complex holds three prisons and only this one publishes Friday visiting. FCI Allenwood Low is low security at PO Box 1000, FCI Allenwood is medium at PO Box 2000, and USP Allenwood is the penitentiary at PO Box 3500. The phone line here is (570) 547-1990.

He may not be designated here yet, his name may be entered differently in BOP records, or he may already be at a halfway house. Search his register number first, then call FCI Allenwood Low at (570) 547-1990.
Inmate SearchYes, and it matters more here than at most prisons. FCI Allenwood Low's visiting runs Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and federal holidays, 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, while the other two Allenwood prisons don't publish Friday hours. Confirm on the locator that he's at the Low, then call (570) 547-1990 before you head out.
Inmate SearchFCI Allenwood Low is low security at PO Box 1000, phone (570) 547-1990. FCI Allenwood is medium security at PO Box 2000. USP Allenwood is the high-security penitentiary at PO Box 3500. All three sit near White Deer, so the town on a result doesn't tell you which one you need.
Inmate SearchIt shows where he is now, not where he's been. If his security level dropped and he transferred in, the record updates once he arrives, and a letter sent to the old prison gets forwarded slowly or returned. Re-check before you mail anything to PO Box 1000.
Inmate SearchIt caps how often he can be visited each month, so confirming his location and his remaining points in the same phone call saves a wasted trip. Ask when you call (570) 547-1990.
Inmate SearchFriday through Sunday and federal holidays, 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
