FCI Beaumont Low Custody
FCI Beaumont Low is a Federal Bureau of Prisons institution at 5560 Knauth Road, Beaumont, TX 77705. The official BOP data in the research lists phone 409-727-8172, fax 409-626-3500, email BMX-ExecAssistant-S@bop.gov, and male population. It is not a Jefferson County sheriff jail, and it is not a Texas Department of Criminal Justice state prison. It is a federal correctional institution for people in BOP custody.
The low-security institution is tied closely to FPC Beaumont, the minimum-security camp associated with it. The research reports one BOP population total for the institution and camp together, with a separate count for the FCI and a separate count for the camp. That distinction is important when a family member sees Beaumont in a result and needs to know whether the person is at the low-security FCI or the camp.
The BOP official facility page for FCI Beaumont Low provides the matching facility image and confirms the federal institution context.
The same BOP institution page is the source family members should compare against locator results before using mail or visit instructions.
FCI Beaumont Low Population
BOP data in the research lists a current total population of 2,165 modified June 25, 2026, with 1,651 at FCI Beaumont Low and 514 at the associated camp. The supplied research did not locate a rated-capacity number in the inspected BOP data, so the page uses only the sourced population figures. A BOP count is a point-in-time figure and can change after transfers, releases, or institution updates.
For local records work, this federal count should not be mixed with Jefferson County jail population figures from the Texas Commission on Jail Standards. The county jail count describes people in county custody, including pretrial detainees and some holds. FCI Beaumont Low describes federal prison custody. Both are in Beaumont, but they answer different questions.
FCI Beaumont Low Lookup
Use the BOP inmate locator for FCI Beaumont Low. The federal locator searches BOP inmates from 1982 to the present and supports searches by federal number or by name. A county jail search will not confirm current BOP custody, and a TDCJ search is for sentenced Texas state prisoners, not federal inmates at FCI Beaumont Low.
- Open the BOP locator and choose either number search or name search.
- Use a BOP register number when available because it is more precise than a common name.
- When searching by name, add filters such as age, race, or sex if the locator offers them.
- Check the listed institution and status before mailing, visiting, or assuming a release date.
| BOP Search Option | Use It When |
|---|---|
| BOP Register Number | The federal prison number is known from court, family, or prior BOP records. |
| FBI, DCDC, or INS Number | Another federal identifier is available. |
| First and last name | No number is known and the search needs filtering. |
| Institution result | The result must be checked against FCI Beaumont Low or another listed BOP site. |

Federal locator results should be read as BOP custody records, not Jefferson County jail booking profiles.
FCI Beaumont Low Federal Records
FCI Beaumont Low records do not carry the same fields a reader expects from a county jail roster. The county system may show booking date, arrest agency, charge, bond, warrant number, degree, and a booking photo. A federal BOP result is more focused on identity, federal custody status, and release information. That difference can explain why a person may disappear from a local roster after transfer but still appear in BOP.
| Record Need | Correct Source | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Current federal prison location | BOP inmate locator | FCI Beaumont Low is a BOP institution. |
| County arrest, bond, or local warrant | Jefferson County sheriff roster or records request | Those are local jail records. |
| Texas state prison location | TDCJ inmate search | TDCJ covers sentenced state custody, not BOP. |
| Immigration detention | ICE detainee locator | ICE custody is separate from BOP prison custody. |
Important: FCI Beaumont Low is federal custody, so county bond and sheriff roster fields do not control BOP status.
FCI Beaumont Low Contact
Contact the institution for facility-specific questions after checking the BOP locator and the official BOP facility page. Public staff cannot treat a Jefferson County roster page as proof of BOP custody, and a federal release or transfer may be reflected by BOP before any local record source is useful. Use the physical address for institution contact, and use the inmate mail address only for inmate correspondence.

FCI Beaumont Low Visits Mail Money
BOP visitation and money procedures apply at FCI Beaumont Low. The research confirms federal institution status, the physical address, contact details, and inmate mail address, but it does not supply a specific public visiting-hour table or a fee schedule for deposits. Because of that, any visit plan should be verified with BOP or the institution before travel. County jail visitation rules, SmartInmate rules, and Jefferson County MailGuard rules should not be applied to a federal prison inmate.
| Service | Research-Based Detail |
|---|---|
| Visitation | Federal BOP institution approval and schedule procedures apply; verify current rules with the facility. |
| Inmate mail | P.O. Box 26020, Beaumont, TX 77720. |
| Money | Use BOP procedures; no facility-specific fee table was located in the supplied research. |
| Camp distinction | FPC Beaumont is the associated minimum-security camp and has its own custody context. |
Release dates may change because BOP sentence calculations can be affected by good conduct time, federal program credits, disciplinary status, or later sentence updates. For that reason, a saved screenshot or old locator result should not be treated as a final release date.
FCI Beaumont Low Mugshots
The BOP locator does not provide county-style public federal mugshots for people at FCI Beaumont Low. A federal inmate search result is not a booking-photo gallery. If a person had a Jefferson County arrest before transfer, the local booking photo question belongs to the county roster or records process, while federal custody status belongs to BOP.
Use the Jefferson County jail inmate records page for county roster access and the BOP locator for federal prison custody. Keeping the systems separate prevents a common error: assuming that a missing county roster card means the person is not in custody, when the person may have moved to federal custody.
Note: Verify the exact institution before sending mail because FCI Beaumont Low and FPC Beaumont share related BOP data.
