Locate FPC Morgantown Inmates

FPC Morgantown Overview

FPC Morgantown is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The research identifies the historical address as 446 Greenbag Road / P.O. Box 1000, Morgantown, WV 26507, with phone number (304) 296-4416. It has been described as a minimum-security federal prison camp for sentenced male federal inmates. That makes it part of the Monongalia County custody landscape, but not part of the West Virginia regional jail system and not a Monongalia County Sheriff's Office facility.

The most important distinction is custody type. FPC Morgantown is for federal sentenced custody, subject to BOP rules. A person arrested in Morgantown on a state charge is normally searched through North Central Regional Jail after processing. A person sentenced in federal court may be searched through BOP. A federal pretrial detainee in the Northern District of West Virginia might be held at a contract jail such as North Central under U.S. Marshals custody, rather than at FPC Morgantown. The court record and custody agency determine the right lookup path.

FPC Morgantown Status

FPC Morgantown requires cautious status wording. Research notes that BOP and reliable local reports announced in December 2024 that operations at FPC Morgantown would be suspended or deactivated and that employees and inmates would be reassigned or moved. A July 1, 2026 BOP press release then stated that Morgantown FPC and Duluth FPC would transition from minimum-security camps to Federal Satellite Low facilities as part of operational changes. Because those statements are close in time and operationally significant, current status should be verified on BOP's official Morgantown page before relying on any housing assumption.

The facility map says public reports from 2024 through 2026 described roughly 400 inmates before suspension or deactivation actions. That number is not treated here as a current population count because the research specifically warns that operations changed. Unlike North Central Regional Jail, the research did not provide a sourced current rated capacity table for FPC Morgantown. The safe record-access point is the BOP inmate locator, which searches person records from 1982 to present, not a local daily population feed.

FPC Morgantown Inmate Lookup

Federal sentenced inmates are searched through the BOP Inmate Locator. BOP says the locator covers federal inmates incarcerated from 1982 to present. A search can use a federal register number, DCDC number, FBI number, or INS number, or it can use name fields. The locator also warns that release dates may change because of First Step Act credit recalculations. That warning should be taken seriously when a family is trying to plan a release or transfer.

The BOP locator does not replace court records, and it does not serve as a public mugshot gallery. Federal systems do not publish booking-photo pages like commercial mugshot sites. If the search result does not show FPC Morgantown, the person may have been transferred, released, housed in another BOP institution, held pretrial by U.S. Marshals, or not in federal custody. For Monongalia County state or local arrests, use the North Central Regional Jail page and the WV regional jail search instead.

1. Open the BOP Inmate Locator and choose a number search or name search.
2. Use the register number when available because names can repeat or change.
3. Review the listed facility, projected release date, and custody status shown by BOP.
4. Confirm any FPC Morgantown result against the official BOP facility page because operations are changing.
5. Use federal court records or counsel for case filings, sentence details, and court orders.

FPC Morgantown Contact

The BOP facility page is the primary source for FPC Morgantown operating status, public notices, and current contact rules. The address and phone below come from the research file and should be verified against BOP before mailing or traveling because the facility has been part of recent BOP operational-change announcements. For local Monongalia jail custody, do not call FPC Morgantown first. A local arrestee should be checked through North Central Regional Jail and West Virginia regional jail search channels.

FPC Morgantown Visiting

Federal prison visiting is governed by BOP rules and the institution's current local schedule. BOP's general visiting guidance explains that visitors normally must be approved, schedules vary by institution, and people should verify facility-specific visiting procedures before travel. That caution is especially important for FPC Morgantown because BOP has announced operational changes affecting the facility's mission and status.

No current public visiting-hours table specific to active FPC Morgantown operations was confirmed in the provided research. A fixed day-and-hour schedule would risk misleading readers if the camp is suspended, transitioning, or operating under a changed mission. The correct way to plan is to verify the inmate's BOP locator result, check the official FPC Morgantown page, and then call or follow BOP instructions for the current visiting program. Photo identification, approval, dress rules, and institutional security screening should be expected in federal custody.

FPC Morgantown Mail and Funds

Mail and funds for a federal inmate should follow BOP instructions, not county jail rules. The research specifically warns not to send federal inmate funds directly to the facility address unless BOP instructions say to do so. BOP uses national deposit systems and lockbox processes for federal inmates. Because FPC Morgantown's operational status has changed, the inmate's current BOP facility and register number should be confirmed before sending mail or money.

Federal mail is also distinct from WVDCR regional jail mail. North Central deposits use WVDCR and ConnectNetwork sources, while FPC Morgantown is under BOP. If a person has moved from Morgantown FPC to another federal facility, the mailing address and institution rules may have changed. If the person is in U.S. Marshals pretrial custody at a contract jail, the BOP sentenced-inmate rules may not apply yet. These distinctions prevent mail and money from being sent to the wrong system.

Federal Custody Intake

FPC Morgantown intake is not street-arrest booking. A person sent to BOP has usually been sentenced in federal court and designated to a federal institution. BOP records may then show the federal register number, age or release information, facility, and custody status depending on the public profile. A local Monongalia arrest, by contrast, normally begins with law-enforcement custody, possible booking into North Central, and court processing through state or local courts unless the case is federal.

Federal pretrial custody follows a separate path. North Central's WVDCR mission includes contract housing for U.S. Marshals detainees, so a federal defendant may be in a regional jail while awaiting federal court proceedings. That does not make the person an FPC Morgantown inmate. ICE custody is also separate and uses the ICE Online Detainee Locator System when immigration detention is involved. The agency holding the person determines the right locator.

About Federal Records

FPC Morgantown is listed as a facility page because it is physically in Monongalia County and is a significant custody reference for federal inmates. It should not be mixed with the county jail population. Monongalia County's primary jail-search facility is North Central Regional Jail in Greenwood. FPC Morgantown is federal, uses federal locator tools, and has no public federal mugshot gallery. That distinction helps families avoid calling the wrong agency when a name does not appear in a county or state search.

BOP operational changes make FPC Morgantown more time-sensitive than a typical facility page. The July 1, 2026 BOP announcement says Morgantown FPC will transition toward a Federal Satellite Low role, while prior reporting described suspension or deactivation actions. The safest records advice is to search the BOP locator for the person, confirm the institution listed by BOP, then check the official facility page before visiting, mailing, or sending funds. The general Monongalia County jail inmate records page covers the state regional jail path when the custody is local rather than federal.
