USP Florence High Release Search

Releases from USP Florence High

USP Florence High is the high-security United States Penitentiary at FCC Florence. It is a federal BOP institution in Fremont County. A release from USP Florence High is a federal Bureau of Prisons release. It is not a Fremont County Detention Center release and it is not a CDOC state-prison release. The fact that FCC Florence is physically in Fremont County does not move the record into the Sheriff's Office. Federal custody status, release date, and facility information belong to BOP, and sentence context belongs to the federal court record.

BOP's Inmate Locator is the controlling public tool for a federal release search. BOP says its records contain information about federal inmates incarcerated from 1982 to the present. BOP also warns that release dates may be recalculated, including because of sentence review and Federal Time Credit changes, so the public date can change. The most important released-inmate rule from BOP's records guidance is that a past release date with no facility location means the person is no longer in BOP custody. BOP also cautions that the person may still be on parole, supervised release, or in another correctional or criminal-justice system.

That last caution is critical in Fremont County. A person can leave USP Florence High and still have a federal supervised-release term, a detainer, a state case, immigration custody, or another receiving agency. The BOP locator answers BOP custody. It does not by itself prove that every legal restraint ended.

How to Confirm a BOP Release

Use the federal route from the beginning. The local jail's Intake/Booking line can help only if the person was separately booked into Fremont County jail or held locally for another reason. CDOC Offender Search applies only to Colorado state-prison custody. For USP Florence High, open the BOP Inmate Locator and search by BOP register number if available. If you do not have the register number, search by name and compare age, race, sex, and any other available identifiers carefully.

1. Open the BOP Inmate Locator and search by register number when possible.
2. Use name search only after trying known identifiers, and compare all available identity fields.
3. Read the release date and facility/location fields together.
4. If the release date is in the past and no facility location is shown, treat that as no longer in BOP custody, subject to BOP's warning about other systems.
5. Use PACER for the District of Colorado or the sentencing federal court for judgment, sentence, supervised-release, revocation, or amended-order context.
6. Use BOP FOIA or BOP records channels when the public locator is not enough for a formal record.

The Fremont County released inmates hub separates federal, state, and county paths for this reason. If you are trying to find a local sheriff release, BOP is the wrong source. If you are trying to find a federal prisoner released from FCC Florence, the sheriff and CDOC are the wrong first sources. If immigration custody may be involved, ICE's locator is a current-detention tool and should be paired with counsel or the responsible agency.

USP Florence High Records and Contact

One more practical check is the sentencing district. Many Florence prisoners were sentenced outside Colorado, so PACER research should follow the court listed in the federal case, not only the District of Colorado. The local Florence facility page proves where BOP housed the person; the sentencing docket explains judgment, credit disputes, supervised-release conditions, revocation history, and any later order that changed the expected release date.

Use the facility page to identify the institution and use the locator to check the person. A BOP facility page is not a released-inmate roster. For a formal release explanation, collect the register number, full name, approximate release date, sentencing court, case number if known, and the specific document needed. Court records may show judgment, amended judgment, supervised-release conditions, revocation orders, compassionate-release orders, or sentence-credit disputes. The locator will not provide that full case history.

About USP Florence High

USP Florence High is part of the Federal Correctional Complex Florence layer in Fremont County. BOP operates FCI Florence, USP Florence ADMAX, and USP Florence High at or around 5880 Highway 67 South in Florence. These are federal institutions. They are separate from Fremont County Detention Center at 100 Justice Center Road in Canon City and separate from the Colorado Department of Corrections prisons in the Canon City area.

Because Fremont County contains all three custody systems, the facility name is the most important clue. Federal terms such as BOP register number, United States Penitentiary, Federal Correctional Institution, satellite camp, PACER, judgment, and supervised release point to the federal route. CDOC numbers, parole eligibility, and Colorado State Board of Parole point to the state route. Booking, bond, VINE current custody, CRIMEWATCH jail intake, and Sheriff Records point to the county jail route.

FCC Florence in Fremont County

FCC Florence gives Fremont County a federal correctional footprint that many counties do not have. That local fact makes the phrase "Fremont County released inmates" broader than a jail roster. It can include a person released from a federal sentence at Florence, a person paroled from a state CDOC facility in the Canon City area, or a person released on bond from the county detention center. The correct public record depends on which of those facilities actually held the person.

For USP Florence High, do not infer release from a news article, a county search failure, or a state-prison search failure. Use BOP. Then use PACER or the sentencing court if you need why the person was released, whether a supervised-release term follows, whether conditions changed, or whether there was a later revocation. Keep the use purpose to custody verification, records correction, court process, and family or personal safety planning; do not use linked records for FCRA-regulated decisions.

Federal Release Limits

A BOP release date is not a complete life-status report. It does not mean the person has no federal supervised release. It does not mean a state or local agency has no hold. It does not mean an immigration process is absent. It means what the locator says about BOP custody, subject to BOP's own warning that dates can change and other systems may still apply.
