Family and community support is very important throughout a federal criminal case, especially for people who are incarcerated. Family and friends are encouraged to remain in communication with their loved ones and further information is provided here on how to communicate with and support an incarcerated loved one.
If your loved one is incarcerated, it is important to remember that all communications with that person are recorded and may be used against them in court, so it is best if family and friends refrain from discussing pending criminal charges with loved ones until the case has resolved. You may contact the attorney handling the case if you have further questions about this.
Our district does not have a federal pretrial jail facility. Instead, the U.S. Marshals Service has contracts with a number of jails in the region, where people who have been ordered detained are incarcerated while their federal cases are pending. You can contact the jails directly to find out if your loved one is being held there. Those jails are as follows:

Please visit the Federal Bureau of Prisons website and type in your family member’s name to find where they are located. Once you get the results from your search, you can click on the name of the facility to learn more information about visiting, contacting, or sending money to your loved one at that location. This tool also has release date information, but it is not always the best reflection of when your loved one will return to the community.
