You can find information on prisoners and parolees through the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) website. The BOP website allows you to search for inmates by name, BOP number, or DCDC number.
The BOP website also provides information on the location of prisons, including federal prisons, correctional facilities, and community corrections facilities.
The National Crime Information Center (NCIC) maintains a database of fugitives, missing persons, and unidentified human remains. However, it's worth noting that the NCIC database is primarily used for law enforcement purposes.

To Find an Incarcerated Individual
To find an incarcerated individual, you'll need to have some identifying information handy. You can search using a Department Identification Number (DIN), a New York State Identification Number (NYSID), or the individual's name along with their birth year.
If you're searching for a federal inmate in California, you can use the Federal Bureau of Prisons' online portal. This portal allows you to search by the inmate's name and biodata, such as their gender, age, and race, or by their registration number.
You can also search using an inmate's registration number, which includes the Bureau of Prison Registration number, the D.C. Department of Corrections number, the Federal Bureau of Investigation number, or the Immigration and Naturalization Services number assigned to the inmate upon incarceration.
For inmates in California, note that the BOP's inmate management system only holds information on individuals who were incarcerated after 1982. Records older than 1982 are maintained and provided by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
If you're searching for an inmate in California, you can also use the Facility Locator to find the facility where the inmate is being held, or visit the Inmate Locator to figure out the inmate's CDCR number.
To send a package to an inmate in a CDCR facility, you'll need to have the inmate's name and CDCR number, and ensure that the check or money order is payable to "CDCR".
