The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) locator only knows federal inmates. If his sentence came from a Pennsylvania state court, look in the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (PA DOC) system instead, because a federal search will never find him. Inside the federal system, low security often comes later in a sentence, so a man may show at a higher-security prison for a stretch and land at FCI Loretto after a transfer. And if the last address you had was the Loretto camp, that’s a dead end now: the camp was deactivated in a nationwide BOP consolidation and those men were moved into the main facility.
Search the 8-digit federal register number if you have it, since it cuts through spelling problems and it’s the number that has to appear on his mail and his deposits. Otherwise use the exact name from his court paperwork, then try middle names and alternate spellings. Loretto is a small place with a big-sounding address, so double-check the result names FCI Loretto and not another Cambria County location before you send anything to 772 Saint Joseph Street. If you’re still stuck, call (814) 472-4140 and ask whether he’s been received.

Inmate SearchNo, and that trips people up. FCI Loretto takes inmate mail at a street address, 772 Saint Joseph Street, Loretto, PA 15940, with his full name and register number on the top line. Confirm his location on the locator before you send it.
Inmate SearchFederal and state records don't cross over. FCI Loretto is a federal prison, so a search here only returns federal inmates. State-sentenced men appear in the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (PA DOC) locator instead, and the front desk at (814) 472-4140 can't look them up for you.
Inmate SearchNo. It shows his facility of record, so a man temporarily away from FCI Loretto still reads as located there. For day-to-day questions, call (814) 472-4140.
