FCI Milan Federal Overview
Federal Correctional Institution Milan is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons at 4004 East Arkona Road in Milan. BOP describes Milan as part of the federal prison system, and search snippets identify it as a low-security federal correctional institution with an adjacent detention center. It holds sentenced federal inmates and federal detention-center or holdover inmates. It is not operated by the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.
That distinction controls the search path. A person held at FCI Milan will not be found through the Monroe County Zuercher jail roster merely because the facility is physically in the county. Search federal custody with BOP. Search Monroe County Main Jail or Dormitory custody through Zuercher. Search immigration custody through ICE ODLS. State prisoners from Monroe County are searched through Michigan OTIS.
FCI Milan Inmate Search
The official federal search tool is the BOP Inmate Locator. BOP says it covers federal inmates incarcerated from 1982 to the present. It can search by number or by name. Number searches can use a BOP register number, DCDC number, FBI number, or INS number. Name searches use first, middle, and last name with race, age, and sex filters.
- Open the BOP Inmate Locator for federal custody, not the Monroe County jail roster.
- Search by register number when available because BOP register numbers follow a specific number format.
- Use first, middle, last name, race, age, and sex filters when a number is not known.
- Read the result for name, register number, age, race, sex, release date, and location, then confirm Milan as the listed facility.
| BOP Field | Search Type | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Register Number | Number | BOP's direct federal inmate identifier, commonly formatted as five digits, hyphen, three digits. |
| DCDC Number | Number | District of Columbia Department of Corrections number field. |
| FBI Number | Number | Federal Bureau of Investigation identifier field. |
| INS Number | Number | Legacy immigration number field in the BOP locator. |
| Name, race, age, sex | Biographical | Used when no direct number is available. |
FCI Milan Locator Sources
The BOP FCI Milan page is the official facility source for contact and visiting links.
Facility status should be read with the BOP inmate locator because the locator is the record that shows whether the person is actually assigned to Milan.
The BOP inmate locator is the federal search page for people in BOP custody.
Use the locator result rather than county jail records when the custody question is federal prison, federal release date, or federal location.
FCI Milan Contact
The BOP location page lists FCI Milan's main phone and email metadata, while the visiting supplement gives the physical address and local directions from US-23, Carpenter Road, and Arkona Road. Facility mail and visiting rules may change under BOP policy or institution-specific supplements, so confirm through the BOP facility page before sending mail, visiting, or planning travel.

FCI Milan Visiting
Federal visiting is different from Monroe County jail video visits. BOP facilities use federal visiting rules, approval requirements, local supplements, and institutional schedules. The official Milan visiting supplement gives the address, phone, visitor parking and approach details, and visiting schedules. Visitors should use that supplement and the BOP facility page rather than Monroe County's IC Solutions schedule.
| Visit Topic | Federal Rule Path | Practical Point |
|---|---|---|
| Approval | BOP visiting procedures | Visitors generally must be approved before visiting a federal inmate. |
| Schedule | FCI Milan visiting supplement | Use the current supplement because federal schedules can change. |
| Arrival | 4004 East Arkona Road | Follow BOP parking, screening, and identification rules. |
| County video visits | Not the FCI Milan rule set | IC Solutions applies to Monroe County jail visits, not BOP visiting. |
FCI Milan Mail and Money
Federal mail and money rules are set by BOP policy and institution procedures. Do not use Monroe County jail mail formats or Access Corrections deposit instructions for a federal inmate at Milan. Federal inmates have BOP register numbers, BOP mail rules, and federal trust-fund processes. If a person was transferred from Monroe County jail to federal custody, the local jail account and federal account are separate systems.
| Service | Use | Do Not Use |
|---|---|---|
| BOP inmate name and register number with BOP facility mail instructions | Monroe County Main Jail or Dormitory mail format. | |
| Money | BOP federal trust-fund process | County jail lobby kiosks or county Access Corrections path. |
| Phone | BOP inmate telephone rules | Monroe County ICSolutions jail phone rules. |
| Email or messaging | BOP-approved federal systems when available | County jail tablet messaging. |
Federal Versus Monroe Jail
Federal custody should not be blended with Monroe County jail custody. Monroe County Main Jail handles local arrests, bond hearings, classified county jail housing, and certain holds. FCI Milan handles federal prisoners or detainees under BOP control. A person can move from county jail to federal custody, but the public record trail changes when that happens. The county roster may stop showing the person after transfer, while the BOP locator becomes the correct custody tool.
BOP also warns that release dates can change because of federal credit review, and a result such as "Released" or "Not in BOP Custody" may mean the person is in another custody system or on supervised release. That warning is important near Monroe County because local, state, federal, and immigration systems all operate in the area. Use the facility location shown in the BOP result before assuming the person is at Milan.

FCI Milan Population
The research file notes a BOP population statistics search result showing MILAN FCI at 1,529 in June 2026, with BOP population statistics refreshed weekly. That figure belongs to the federal facility. It should not be added to Monroe County's jail capacity or annual booking totals. Monroe County's jail system capacity, by contrast, is reported as 363 across the Main Jail and Dormitory.
FCI Milan also differs from MDOC custody. The Michigan Department of Corrections facility map did not identify a state prison in Monroe County. Sentenced Michigan prisoners from Monroe County are searched statewide through OTIS, while federal prisoners at Milan are searched through BOP. The Monroe County inmate population overview separates those custody systems so federal, county, and state figures are not mixed.
Note: Confirm federal custody through BOP before sending mail, funds, or visitors to FCI Milan.
