The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) keeps its own nationwide records, and they only cover federal inmates. A man serving a sentence handed down by a Pennsylvania state judge belongs to the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (PA DOC) and won’t turn up in a federal search at all. The other common reason is that he hasn’t been designated yet. FCI Allenwood is a medium-security prison, and men are assigned here after sentencing, so a recent federal arrest usually shows nothing while he’s still in U.S. Marshals Service custody.
Start with his 8-digit federal register number if you have it. That number stays with him through every federal transfer, and it’s what you’ll write on mail and on any deposit. Without it, try the exact name on his court paperwork, plus a middle name or a second last name. When a result comes back, check the facility name letter by letter. FCI Allenwood, USP Allenwood, and FCI Allenwood Low are three different prisons that all say White Deer on the map. This one is medium security at PO Box 2000, and the phone line is (570) 547-7950.

Inmate SearchFederal and state records don't overlap. The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (PA DOC) runs its own locator for state-sentenced inmates and parolees, and the BOP locator that covers FCI Allenwood will never list them. The staff who answer (570) 547-7950 can speak only to men held at the medium-security prison.
