Find Someone at USP Allenwood

The name may not match BOP records exactly, he may have been designated somewhere else after sentencing, or he may already be at a halfway house. Try his 8-digit register number instead of his name, then call USP Allenwood at (570) 547-0963 and ask if he's housed there.

Look at the facility name, not the town. USP Allenwood is the high-security penitentiary at PO Box 3500, phone (570) 547-0963. FCI Allenwood is medium security at PO Box 2000, and FCI Allenwood Low is low security at PO Box 1000. All three sit near White Deer, so the town alone tells you nothing.

It almost always means the letter went to the wrong prison on the complex. Confirm the exact facility on the federal locator first, then address it to his name and register number at USP Allenwood, PO Box 3500, White Deer, PA 17887. Staff at (570) 547-0963 can confirm he's still there before you re-send.

People awaiting a first hearing or a sentencing date are usually held by the U.S. Marshals Service in a contract county jail, and they don't appear in BOP records until the BOP takes custody. USP Allenwood receives men after a sentence is imposed and a designation is made, so a recent arrest won't land here right away. If you were told the penitentiary is where he's headed, (570) 547-0963 can tell you once he's been received.

No. It names the facility, not the unit or the cell. For anything unit-specific, including whether he's been moved within the penitentiary, call (570) 547-0963 and ask.
