Find Federal Bureau of Prisons Releases

Federal BOP Release Paths

The Federal Bureau of Prisons runs a nationwide prison system. It does not operate a facility identified in Duchesne County. A federal case tied to the county can lead to confinement far outside Utah after sentencing and designation. Before BOP placement, the U.S. Marshals Service may hold or transport a federal pretrial detainee through a contract setting. Those roles create separate public-record paths.

A BOP locator result that says “Released” with a date confirms the end of the BOP custody episode reported by that system. It does not confirm release from Duchesne County Jail. It also does not show every term of federal supervision, eliminate an immigration or state hold, or rule out custody by another agency. The federal docket and any local transfer record supply context.

Search Federal Release Records

Open the official BOP Find an Inmate service. The locator supports an identification-number search using a BOP Register, DCDC, FBI, or INS number. It also supports name search with optional race, age, and sex refinements. A known register number is the clearest route because people can share names and biographical traits.

The tool covers federal inmates incarcerated from 1982 to the present. BOP warns that older records may be incomplete. Read the status and date exactly as shown. A future date remains projected. A past “Released” date records the federal custody endpoint in the locator, not the end of all legal obligations or every other agency's hold.

1. Choose number search when a verified federal identifier is available.
2. Otherwise enter the full name and use only known refinements.
3. Compare identity and institution history before selecting a record.
4. Record the exact release status, date, and access date.
5. Check the federal docket and any Duchesne transfer entry for context.

BOP Locator Release Results

The official federal locator is the best starting point for a former sentenced federal prisoner:

The search can retain a former prisoner and display a released result with a date. That persistence makes it different from UDC's current-supervision-only scope. Still, the BOP result is not a complete release certificate. A name match must be verified, and the date must be read as the end of the BOP episode shown by the database.

When a result is absent, check the spelling, aliases, date of birth information, and federal number. The person may have been held by USMS without a BOP designation, may fall before the database's main period, or may be in another authority's custody. A no-result is only a source result. It should never be expanded into a claim about the person's full history.

BOP Register number

The federal prison identifier used for a precise locator search.

Designation

Placement by federal authorities at a particular BOP institution.

Projected date

A future date that can change before release processing.

Released

The locator's report that the listed BOP custody episode ended.

Federal Release Records Contact

There is no local BOP facility address or phone to publish for Duchesne County. The nationwide locator is the correct public contact point for BOP status. Institution contacts depend on the facility shown in the federal record. Use BOP's official directory for the current institution, and use the federal court docket for the prosecution and sentence history.

For a record beyond the locator, identify the person by full name, register number, institution, and date range. Ask for the precise public release or movement fact needed. Federal exemptions may restrict sensitive information. A docket can show sentence and court action, but BOP establishes when its physical custody ended. Those sources should be reconciled rather than treated as substitutes.

USMS owns no prisons and offers no comparable broad historical locator. For a person in federal pretrial transport or detention, use the federal docket and the appropriate Marshals district or prisoner-information contact. A Sheriff's “USMS” transfer is a lead to that route.

Federal Release Versus Utah Custody

Federal, state, and county searches cover different populations. The BOP locator does not contain ordinary Duchesne County jail releases. UDC's offender search does not serve as a federal prison archive. The Duchesne Sheriff page has no person-level roster and cannot confirm a later BOP release. Begin with the legal custodian at the time in question.

A person can pass through more than one system. A local arrest may lead to a Sheriff booking and later transfer to USMS. After conviction and designation, the person may appear in BOP. At the end of the federal prison term, the locator may show released, while a separate term of supervision begins. In another case, an immigration detainer could lead to ICE custody after BOP release.

Note: Keep the federal register number with the record because it helps separate people who share a name.

BOP Release Date Changes

A future date in BOP's locator should be described as projected because the federal source treats it that way. Sentence computation can be affected by the governing judgment, credits, disciplinary changes, court orders, and other federal rules. Utah county good-time law and UDC earned-time law do not control a federal sentence. Applying either Utah calculation to BOP custody would mix separate legal systems.

When the date passes, reopen the official record and note its new status. If it shows released, preserve the access date and exact wording. If it remains future or changes, consult the federal docket and BOP through official channels. A local Duchesne court cannot correct or explain a federal prison computation unless the local record merely documents a separate custody episode.

Post-release federal supervision is also distinct from parole in Utah's state system. The BOP line tells whether the prison custody episode ended. The federal court record and supervision authority address obligations that follow. Avoid labeling a former BOP inmate “discharged” unless an authoritative record supports that broader claim.

A federal judgment may also include more than one count or a sentence that interacts with another sovereign's case. The locator gives a practical status, but it does not explain each computation step. When a date appears inconsistent with the docket, confirm the correct register number and newest judgment before contacting BOP. Keep the original release result, any later update, and the federal case number together. That record trail makes clear which date came from the prison system and which facts came from the court.

Federal Release Destination Check

Research Angle T begins with the Duchesne transfer record. If the Sheriff entry names USMS or another federal authority, the county custody episode ended but federal custody may have continued. The receiving agency field is the bridge to the BOP locator and federal docket. Without it, disappearance from the county's care cannot safely be called community release.

At the federal endpoint, the same question still applies: where did custody or supervision go next? A BOP “Released” result can coexist with federal supervision or a transfer to ICE, a state warrant, or another lawful hold. Check each documented authority rather than guessing from one system's status. The Duchesne County released inmate search overview helps classify the starting custodian before using the federal route.

1. Obtain the Sheriff's recorded transfer destination when a local booking came first.
2. Use the federal identifier in the BOP locator after designation.
3. Read the federal docket for sentence and later court actions.
4. Check ICE only when an immigration transfer or custody fact makes it relevant.
5. Describe only the custody episode each source actually confirms.

Note: A transfer to federal authority is continued custody until a federal source reports a later release.
