FCI Terre Haute Custody
FCI Terre Haute is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons at 4200 Bureau Road North in Terre Haute. BOP facility data identifies it as a medium-security federal correctional institution for male inmates, with a minimum-security satellite camp. The facility is part of the Federal Correctional Complex Terre Haute in Vigo County, and its federal role is separate from the Vigo County Jail and Vigo County Community Corrections.
Federal sentenced custody is the core distinction. A person serving a federal sentence at FCI Terre Haute is not searched through INjail, the sheriff-linked JailTracker route, or the Vigo County Jail phone line unless the person is temporarily in local custody on a separate matter. Use the BOP inmate locator for the current federal facility, register number, release date, and basic identity details. For federal criminal cases, PACER and federal court records may be needed in addition to the BOP locator.

FCI Terre Haute Population
BOP public facility data reported 1,411 total inmates for FCI Terre Haute as of a data-modified date of June 4, 2026. The same source breaks that total into 1,122 inmates at TERRE HAUTE FCI and 289 inmates at TERRE HAUTE FCI-CAMP. Those counts are federal population figures. They are not part of the Vigo County Jail capacity count and should not be mixed with local pretrial jail numbers.
| Facility Component | Population | Source Date |
|---|---|---|
| FCI Terre Haute total | 1,411 | BOP phyloc endpoint, data modified June 4, 2026 |
| TERRE HAUTE FCI | 1,122 | BOP facility endpoint |
| TERRE HAUTE FCI-CAMP | 289 | BOP facility endpoint |
| Gender | Male | BOP facility metadata |
Research also identified a 2025 DOJ Office of the Inspector General management alert concerning FCI Terre Haute conditions, including temperatures exceeding BOP policy targets and pest evidence in food storage. That source is facility-specific federal context, not a Vigo County Jail finding.
Search FCI Terre Haute Records
The BOP locator is the correct search system for FCI Terre Haute. It allows a number search or a name search. Number searches can use BOP Register Number, DCDC Number, FBI Number, or INS Number. Name searches use first, middle, and last name with optional race, age, and sex filters. BOP results show name, register number, age, race, sex, release date, and location. The locator does not publish federal mugshots.
- Open the BOP inmate locator and choose either number search or name search.
- Use the BOP register number when known, because it is the most precise identifier.
- For a name search, enter last name and add first name, age, race, or sex to narrow results.
- Open the matching result and confirm that the location is FCI Terre Haute or the camp.
- Use the result links for calling, email, mail, money, visiting, or concern reporting.
- If the person is not found, check spelling, federal court records, or whether the person is in pretrial custody outside BOP.

Federal records in Vigo County create a common search error. FCI Terre Haute is in the same city as the local jail, but it is not a county jail facility. The county roster may help with a new Vigo arrest, while the BOP locator controls ordinary sentenced federal custody. USP Terre Haute is a sibling federal facility at the same complex, so compare the BOP location field before assuming which institution holds the person.
FCI Terre Haute Contact
Use the BOP contact channels for facility questions, federal custody records, visiting status, and inmate communication procedures. The staff and shipping address is the physical Bureau Road North address. Inmate mail uses the BOP mail address listed below, not the physical street address. BOP pages warn not to send money to an inmate at the physical facility address.

FCI Terre Haute Visits
The BOP facility page links a general visiting overview and an FCI-specific visiting regulations PDF. BOP cautions that typical visiting hours may not apply in every situation. Wardens may restrict or cancel visiting because of safety, weather, or operational needs. For that reason, the practical rule is to verify approval, schedule, unit status, and any special restrictions with FCI Terre Haute before travel.
| Visit Topic | Published Source | Action |
|---|---|---|
| General BOP visiting | BOP visiting overview | Review federal approval and ID rules |
| FCI-specific rules | Facility visiting regulations PDF | Check FCI Terre Haute instructions |
| Schedule changes | BOP caution on restrictions | Confirm before travel |
| Camp visits | Facility-specific rules | Confirm whether camp procedures differ |
Federal visiting is not the same as Vigo County Jail video visitation. The county jail uses InmateSales for video visits, while FCI Terre Haute uses BOP federal visiting rules. A visitor approved for a county jail video visit is not automatically approved for BOP visiting.
FCI Terre Haute Mail
FCI Terre Haute inmate mail uses P.O. Box 33, Terre Haute, IN 47808, including the camp. The BOP source distinguishes the inmate mail address from the staff and shipping physical address. That distinction should be followed closely because BOP warns against sending money to the physical facility address. Use BOP money-deposit instructions rather than mailing funds to Bureau Road North.
| Service | Provider or Detail |
|---|---|
| Inmate Mail | P.O. Box 33, Terre Haute, IN 47808 |
| Staff / Shipping | 4200 Bureau Road North, Terre Haute, IN 47808 |
| Money | Use BOP money procedures; do not send money to the facility address |
| Locator | BOP inmate locator by register number or name |
| Mugshots | BOP locator does not publish booking photos |
No BOP fee schedule for a specific deposit method was captured in the research file. Confirm any transaction charge in the BOP-approved payment channel before sending funds. For local Vigo County jail commissary, use the sheriff's Jail ATM and Inmate Sales materials instead, because county vendors do not control BOP deposits.
FCI Terre Haute Intake
Federal prison intake follows a different path from local jail booking. A person may be arrested in a federal case, appear in federal court, remain in pretrial custody through federal channels, and later enter BOP custody after sentencing. The BOP locator is strongest for sentenced BOP custody. It is not a complete pretrial detention roster for every federal defendant. If the person is newly arrested on a federal case and no BOP result appears, federal court records and U.S. Marshals custody information may be relevant.
Classification means BOP's process for placing a sentenced person at a security level and facility. A detainer means another agency has lodged notice that it may seek custody. Release date in the BOP locator can change because of sentence computation, credits, disciplinary matters, or court action. A BOP facility location result should be verified before travel, mail, or money is sent.
Note: Confirm custody, visit approval, and mail rules with FCI Terre Haute before travel or payment.
