Locate USP Beaumont Inmates

USP Beaumont Custody

USP Beaumont is the high-security United States Penitentiary in the Beaumont federal complex. BOP data in the research lists the physical address as 6200 Knauth Road, Beaumont, TX 77705, with phone 409-727-8188, fax 409-626-3700, email BMX-ExecAssistant-S@bop.gov, and male population. The facility is federal, not county or state, even though it is located in Jefferson County.

High-security federal custody is different from a county jail booking record. The Jefferson County jail roster can help with local arrests, local bonds, sheriff jail housing, and current county inmates. USP Beaumont records belong to the BOP system. A person may have passed through local custody before federal designation, but current location and federal release information should be checked through BOP.

The BOP official facility page for USP Beaumont is the matching manifest image for the penitentiary.

The official BOP page is the best public source for confirming that the institution being searched is USP Beaumont rather than another Beaumont-area facility.

USP Beaumont Population

The research file reports a BOP current population of 1,211 for USP Beaumont, modified June 25, 2026. No rated capacity was located in the inspected BOP public data, so the sourced population figure is used without adding an unsupported capacity number. Federal population data can change because inmates transfer, release, move to another security level, or receive sentence updates.

Do not add USP Beaumont to the Jefferson County jail population total. The county jail population figures in the research come from the Texas Commission on Jail Standards and describe county jail custody. USP Beaumont is a federal prison in the same county, but it is operated by BOP and counted under federal prison sources.

USP Beaumont Inmate Lookup

The correct public search tool for USP Beaumont is the BOP inmate locator. The locator searches federal inmates from 1982 forward. A number search is best when a BOP register number or other federal number is known. A name search can work when the exact number is missing, but common names may need filters.

1. Open the BOP inmate locator and select the number path or the name path.
2. Enter the register number, DCDC number, FBI number, or INS number if one is available.
3. For a name search, enter first and last name, then narrow by available filters.
4. Read the institution and status fields before sending mail, planning travel, or relying on a release date.

The locator result should be treated as a federal custody record, not a Jefferson County booking profile.

USP Beaumont Federal Differences

USP Beaumont often creates confusion because it sits near local and state correctional facilities in Beaumont. A reader may see Jefferson County, Beaumont, Knauth Road, or a federal case reference and assume the county jail roster should have the answer. That is only true when the person is in county custody or has a local booking record still visible. Current USP custody is a BOP matter.

The research also notes that a county jail roster may be relevant before federal transfer if a federal defendant was temporarily held locally. That is a timing issue, not a shared roster system. Once the person is designated to USP Beaumont, federal custody controls the public location record. If a local bond, warrant, or court date is still being checked, those questions should be separated from the federal prison location search so one record source is not forced to answer both questions.

USP Beaumont Contact

Use the USP Beaumont contact details for institution questions and confirm current instructions before travel. High-security federal institutions can change visiting operations, mail processing rules, or communication limits because of federal policy or institutional conditions. A local sheriff office cannot verify BOP housing status for a person already held at USP Beaumont.

USP Beaumont Visits Mail Money

The research confirms the inmate mail address for USP Beaumont and confirms BOP control, but it does not provide a current public visit-hours table or a deposit-fee table. BOP institution procedures should be used, and current approval, identification, schedule, and conduct rules should be checked with the facility before travel. County jail visitation schedules do not apply to USP Beaumont.

Federal release dates and custody locations can change through sentence calculation, transfer, good conduct time, and BOP updates. If the locator and older family information conflict, the current BOP result and direct institution confirmation should control practical decisions.

Mail decisions also need the federal address context. The research lists inmate mail for USP Beaumont at P.O. Box 26030, Beaumont, TX 77720, while the physical institution is on Knauth Road. Those are not interchangeable details. A person writing to an inmate should use the inmate mail route, while a person confirming the institution should use the official BOP facility contact details. When a camp mail address appears in BOP data, treat it as a separate camp-mail detail rather than a replacement for the USP inmate mail address.

USP Beaumont Mugshots

BOP does not publish county-style public mugshots through the inmate locator. That matters for USP Beaumont because many readers expect the same type of booking-photo card they may see on the Jefferson County sheriff roster. The federal locator is built for custody identification, not a public image gallery.

For a prior local arrest, a county booking photo may be tied to the county jail record rather than the federal prison record. For current USP Beaumont custody, use BOP. For county booking photo context, use local roster and records sources only when the person was in Jefferson County jail custody.

The same distinction applies to charges. A county booking charge is not the same thing as a federal conviction record or BOP sentence record. The jail roster may show why someone entered local custody, while BOP shows where a federal inmate is held after designation. If a reader needs the case file behind the federal sentence, the search moves away from both the county roster and the BOP locator and toward the court that handled the federal case.
