FCI Beaumont Medium Custody
FCI Beaumont Medium is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons as a medium-security federal correctional institution in Beaumont. The research source lists the facility at 5830 Knauth Road, Beaumont, TX 77705, with phone 409-727-0101, fax 409-720-5000, and email BMX-ExecAssistant-S@bop.gov. It houses male federal inmates. That status matters because a federal prison record is not the same thing as a Jefferson County jail booking record.
A person at FCI Beaumont Medium has moved into federal custody. The Jefferson County sheriff roster may have mattered earlier if the person was arrested locally or briefly held for a federal agency, but the current public lookup path changes once BOP custody controls. The BOP locator searches federal inmates from 1982 forward by name or register number. It can help confirm whether the person is in BOP custody, but it does not work like a county jail roster with local charge cards, county bond fields, or booking-photo tiles.
The BOP official facility page for FCI Beaumont Medium is the matching source image for this page.
The facility page is useful for confirming the institution name, location, and BOP status before using the federal inmate locator.
FCI Beaumont Medium Population
Official BOP facility data in the research file lists a current population of 1,071 at FCI Beaumont Medium, modified June 25, 2026. The same research did not locate a rated-capacity figure in the inspected BOP public data, so no rated-capacity number is stated here. Use the population figure as a BOP snapshot, not as a promise that the count will be the same on a later day.
Population counts at a federal institution can shift because of transfers, releases, designation changes, and sentence computation updates. Federal custody also has a different public-record rhythm from Jefferson County jail custody. County jail data focuses on new arrests, bonds, warrants, and short-term housing. BOP data focuses on federal custody status, register number identity, and release information controlled by federal sentence rules.
FCI Beaumont Medium Lookup
Current federal custody lookup for FCI Beaumont Medium goes through the BOP inmate locator. Do not use the Jefferson County inmate search for a person who is already housed at this federal institution. Do not use the TDCJ locator either, unless the person is in Texas state prison rather than federal prison. The same Beaumont area includes county, state, and federal facilities, so the right locator depends on the custody agency.
- Open the BOP inmate locator and choose the name search or number search path.
- For number search, use the BOP register number, DCDC number, FBI number, or INS number when known.
- For name search, enter the first and last name, then use age, race, or sex filters if needed.
- Review the result for custody status and institution. Confirm that the location is FCI Beaumont Medium before making mail or visit plans.
| Locator Field | How It Helps |
|---|---|
| Find by Number | Best when the register number or another federal number is known. |
| Find by Name | Useful when only a first and last name are available. |
| Race, age, sex filters | Help narrow common names when BOP exposes filter fields. |
| Search button | Runs the federal inmate search for records from 1982 forward. |
The BOP inmate locator page is also documented in the project image manifest.
The locator is the correct search path for federal inmates in Jefferson County, including FCI Beaumont Medium, FCI Beaumont Low, FPC Beaumont, and USP Beaumont.
Federal Custody vs County Jail
FCI Beaumont Medium should not be treated as a Jefferson County jail. The county jail roster is built for pretrial detainees, recent arrests, local warrants, bonds, and county jail housing. BOP custody is federal custody. A person can move through local court, U.S. Marshals custody, a temporary local hold, and then BOP designation, but the public search system follows the agency that currently holds the person.
| Question | Jefferson County Jail | FCI Beaumont Medium |
|---|---|---|
| Current lookup | Sheriff roster and current inmate PDF | BOP inmate locator |
| Typical custody | Recent arrests, pretrial, county sentences, holds | Sentenced federal inmates |
| Mugshots | County roster may show booking photos | BOP locator does not publish county-style mugshots |
| Release details | Bond, local release, warrant status | Federal release date and BOP status may change |
Important: A federal inmate at FCI Beaumont Medium should be searched through BOP, even though the facility sits in Jefferson County.
FCI Beaumont Medium Contact
Use the facility contact details for institution questions such as mailing address, general procedures, and confirmation of BOP instructions. Staff cannot use a public website search to override official custody data, and families should confirm visit and mail rules before travel or mailing. BOP procedures can change by institution status, federal security needs, and local operating orders.

FCI Beaumont Medium Visits Mail Money
Research for this project confirms federal institution status and the inmate mailing address, but it does not provide a public visitation-hour schedule or a money-fee schedule for FCI Beaumont Medium. The accurate approach is to use BOP institution procedures and verify current rules with the facility before sending funds, mailing items, or traveling for a visit. Federal visitation is not the same as the Jefferson County jail schedule.
| Service | Research-Based Detail |
|---|---|
| Visitation | Federal BOP institution procedures apply; confirm current approval and schedule rules with FCI Beaumont Medium. |
| Inmate mail | P.O. Box 26040, Beaumont, TX 77720. |
| Money | Use BOP procedures only; no facility-specific fee table was located in the supplied research. |
| Phone or messaging | Use BOP communication procedures; do not apply Jefferson County SmartInmate rules to federal custody. |
Federal release dates may change because of federal sentence calculation, good conduct time, program credits, transfer timing, or other BOP updates. A family member checking status should search BOP first, then contact the institution if the public locator leaves a practical question unresolved.
FCI Beaumont Medium Mugshots
The BOP inmate locator does not publish county-style federal mugshots. That is a key difference from the Jefferson County sheriff roster, where a local booking profile may show a booking photo for a current jail inmate. For FCI Beaumont Medium, the public federal locator is meant to identify federal custody and status, not to display a mugshot gallery.
If a person was first arrested in Jefferson County, a county booking photo may have appeared only while the person was in local jail custody and while the sheriff roster retained that profile. Once the person is in BOP custody, federal custody lookup controls. For local booking-photo issues tied to a county arrest, the separate Jefferson County jail mugshots page covers county roster photos and records-request limits.
Note: Confirm custody and visit status with BOP before travel, because federal movement can occur without a county roster update.
