FCI Pollock Federal Custody
FCI Pollock is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons as a medium-security federal correctional institution. It sits inside the Federal Correctional Complex at Pollock, a federal campus in Grant Parish that also includes USP Pollock and the Pollock Federal Prison Camp. That shared campus matters for inmate lookup. A person at FCI Pollock is in BOP custody, not in the Grant Parish Detention Facility, and the public record path runs through federal prison channels.
The facility holds sentenced federal male inmates. The research does not identify FCI Pollock as a local booking jail, a parish annex, or a place where Grant Parish bond payments are handled. A person arrested in Grant Parish on a fresh local charge may first appear in the parish jail system, but once the person is serving a federal sentence at FCI Pollock, the BOP locator is the official public lookup tool. County jail mugshot pages, local visitation windows, and GPSO mail vendors should not be used for sentenced BOP inmates.
The official BOP facility page for FCI Pollock is the best source for institutional contact information. The screenshot below comes from the BOP FCI Pollock facility page, which is the federal source matched to this page in the image manifest.
The BOP page confirms the facility identity and keeps the lookup path separate from Grant Parish jail records, which helps prevent mixing federal prison custody with local booking records.
FCI Pollock Capacity Data
Vera's Louisiana facility data lists FCI Pollock with a capacity of 1,640. That figure is the capacity number available in the Grant Parish research file for this federal institution. The BOP page provides the institution's federal contact details but does not supply a fixed public capacity number in the fetched page text, so the capacity below is attributed to Vera rather than to the BOP facility page.
Capacity is not the same as a current count. It is a facility data point used to describe the size of the institution. A live count for a named person still comes from the BOP locator result, which will show whether the person is at FCI Pollock, released, not in BOP custody, or housed at another federal location.
| Facility fact | FCI Pollock detail |
|---|---|
| Operator | Federal Bureau of Prisons |
| Security level | Medium-security federal correctional institution |
| Population held | Sentenced federal male inmates |
| Campus | Part of FCC Pollock in Grant Parish |
FCI Pollock Inmate Lookup
Use the BOP inmate locator for people in FCI Pollock custody. The federal locator covers BOP inmates from 1982 to the present and can be searched by number or by name. It is the right tool for sentenced federal prisoners at this facility. The Grant Parish Sheriff's Office app is useful for the Grant Parish Detention Facility, but it is not the custodian for FCI Pollock's federal prison population.
- Open the BOP inmate locator and choose either number search or name search.
- For number search, enter a BOP Register Number, DCDC Number, FBI Number, or INS Number if known.
- For name search, enter first and last name, then use race, sex, age, or middle name to narrow common matches.
- Read the location field carefully. FCI Pollock should appear only if the person is currently assigned there.
- Use the release date and custody status fields as federal information, not as a Grant Parish court or bond record.
| BOP result field | What it means |
|---|---|
| Name | The federal inmate name returned by the locator. |
| Register number | The BOP identifier, often shown in a number format like #####-###. |
| Age, race, sex | Identity fields used to distinguish people with similar names. |
| Release date | The federal release date shown by BOP, or a status note when no date applies. |
| Location | The BOP institution, release status, or note that the person is not in BOP custody. |
BOP locator results do not publish public mugshots. For local arrests and parish booking records, use the separate Grant Parish jail inmate records process instead of assuming the federal locator will show county booking data.
FCI Pollock Address and Contact
FCI Pollock's institutional contact details come from the BOP facility page and BOP directory research. Use the institution phone for federal facility questions and the BOP locator for inmate status. Do not call the parish jail to confirm routine custody for a sentenced federal inmate unless the person may still be in local pretrial custody before transfer.

FCC Pollock is in the municipality of Pollock in Grant Parish. That local geography can be confusing because Pollock is also served by the Grant Parish Detention Facility for local arrests. The name of the town does not make FCI Pollock a parish jail. It remains a federal correctional institution under the Bureau of Prisons.
FCI Pollock Visit Rules
Federal prison visits use BOP procedures. The Grant Parish research file did not provide a facility-specific FCI Pollock visiting schedule, so readers should verify current visiting days, approval steps, and entry rules through the BOP institution before travel. Federal prisons commonly require an approved visitor process and current institution rules, and those rules are separate from the Grant Parish jail's video visitation schedule.
| Visit item | FCI Pollock guidance | Source path |
|---|---|---|
| Custody system | Federal BOP prison visits, not parish jail visits | BOP institution rules |
| Schedule | Confirm current days and times with FCI Pollock before travel | Institution phone or BOP page |
| Approval | Use federal visiting approval procedures for sentenced BOP inmates | BOP process |
| Local jail rules | GPSO video visit days do not apply to FCI Pollock inmates | Facility type distinction |
Federal visitors should also treat release dates and housing moves as federal records. BOP transfers can change the location field in the locator. A person who once appeared at FCI Pollock may later show a different BOP facility or a released status.
FCI Pollock Mail and Money
Mail, phone, commissary, and money rules for FCI Pollock follow BOP procedures. The Grant Parish jail's JailATM scanned-mail address, NCIC phone account links, JailFunds scheduling link, and parish mail restrictions are documented for the Grant Parish Detention Facility, not for FCI Pollock. Mixing those systems can delay mail or send money through the wrong channel.
| Service | Use for FCI Pollock |
|---|---|
| Inmate lookup | BOP inmate locator by number or name |
| BOP mail rules for the assigned federal institution | |
| Phone | BOP phone procedures, not Grant Parish jail phone vendors |
| Money | BOP deposit procedures for federal prisoners |
ICE custody is also separate. The ICE Online Detainee Locator System is for immigration detainees, not for a sentenced federal inmate at FCI Pollock. No ICE detention facility was found physically in Grant Parish in the official sources reviewed.
FCI Pollock Intake Status
FCI Pollock is not where most Grant Parish street arrests begin. Local arrests normally route through the Grant Parish Detention Facility unless another agency takes custody. Federal pretrial custody can involve the U.S. Marshals Service and sometimes local jail housing by contract, but the research did not confirm a current U.S. Marshals housing contract with the Grant Parish jail.
After federal sentencing and BOP designation, a person may be assigned to FCI Pollock as part of federal prison custody. At that stage, the public lookup changes from local booking channels to the BOP locator. A detainer or hold can also affect custody. A hold is another agency's legal request or authority to keep or transfer a person after one case or sentence step changes.
About FCI Pollock
FCI Pollock is one of three federal prison components identified in Grant Parish research for the FCC Pollock campus. Its medium-security designation distinguishes it from USP Pollock, which is high security, and from the Pollock Federal Prison Camp, which is minimum security. All three use federal lookup rules, and none is covered by parish bond, GPSO visitation, or the Grant Parish jail app for sentenced BOP custody.
For a broad local view of the Grant Parish inmate population, including the parish jail and the federal facilities at Pollock, use the Grant Parish inmate population overview. For a named federal prisoner, the BOP locator remains the practical starting point.
Note: Confirm FCI Pollock custody and visit rules with BOP before travel, because federal assignments and visiting status can change.
