FCI Danbury Federal Releases
A person leaving FCI Danbury may go to the community, a federal community corrections placement, another prison, a state authority, immigration custody, or federal supervised release. “Release” must be read in the context of the BOP result. It is not a Danbury city jail event. The Danbury Police arrest logs, CT DOC inmate search, and CT SAVIN do not replace the federal locator for someone known to be in BOP custody.
The BOP Location field can show a named facility, a Regional Office, Community Corrections Management, “IN TRANSIT,” or “RELEASED.” A named institution means the person remains assigned within BOP. “IN TRANSIT” does not mean return to the community. A Community Corrections Management entry is a federal location label that requires confirmation through BOP. “RELEASED” with no facility means BOP custody has ended, subject to the BOP warning that another justice system or supervision may still apply.
Confirm an FCI Danbury Release
The BOP inmate locator is the official public search. A register number is the strongest identifier. BOP also accepts DCDC, FBI, and INS numbers. A name search uses first, middle, and last name with race, age, and sex as narrowing fields.
- Choose number search when a BOP register number is known.
- Otherwise enter the full name and add available identity filters.
- Match the result by register number, age, and other public fields.
- Read Release Date together with Location, not as two separate conclusions.
- Check the federal docket or other agency only when the BOP result suggests further control.
A past Release Date with no facility location means BOP says the person left its custody on that date. A future date is projected and can change. The broader Danbury released-inmate path helps when it is not clear whether the person was in federal, state, local, or immigration custody.
FCI Danbury Locator Fields
BOP publishes a compact set of fields. They are enough to identify a federal record and understand the basic custody result, but not enough to reconstruct every court or release condition.
| BOP field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Name | The federal inmate name associated with the result. |
| Register number | The durable BOP identifier used to distinguish records. |
| Age, race, sex | Public matching fields that help separate similar names. |
| Release Date | A future projected date or the past date BOP reports custody ended. |
| Location | A facility, transit, community corrections, regional, or released status. |
The locator covers federal inmates incarcerated from 1982 to the present. It is broader historically than the CT DOC current-custody search, but it is not the federal court docket. BOP also warns that First Step Act recalculations can affect projected release dates. Check again rather than treating a future date as fixed.
FCI Danbury Records Contact
Facility contact information can confirm where to direct an institutional question, though staff may not disclose protected details by phone or email. The official BOP facility data identifies the address and main contact route.
Federal Correctional Institution Danbury33 1/2 Pembroke Station, Route 37
Danbury, CT 06811
Phone: 203-743-6471
Fax: 203-312-5110
Email: DAN-ExecAssistant-S@bop.gov
For more than the public locator fields, BOP states that FOIA may authorize release of certain additional inmate information. A request may require Form DOJ-361 and identity certification. Identify the person by full name and register number, then ask for the specific public record, such as federal custody location, release date, or current BOP custody status. Confirm current fees and submission rules at request time.
Note: A facility contact can route a request, but the public BOP locator remains the first release-status check.
Federal Prison Inside Danbury
FCI Danbury gives this city an unusual second meaning for “released from Danbury.” The official BOP public facility data identifies a low-security federal institution and an adjacent minimum-security camp. It lists mixed male and female offenders and places the complex in Fairfield County within the federal judicial district of Connecticut.
Those figures come from BOP data modified July 9, 2026 and can change. They describe the institution, not a release count. The key local point is jurisdiction: a federal release can occur in Danbury without a Danbury Police or CT DOC custody record. That is why a federal register number is more useful than a city arrest search for this facility.
The official BOP facility source is shown below:

FCI Danbury Release Date
A future BOP Release Date is a projection based on federal calculations. It can move as sentence information is reviewed or recalculated. It is not governed by Connecticut state sentence-reduction rules or the Connecticut parole board. State rules discussed for Bridgeport Correctional Center do not determine a federal sentence at FCI Danbury.
When the date is past and the Location field is blank or shows “RELEASED,” BOP treats the person as outside BOP custody. When the Location is “IN TRANSIT,” do not call the person released. A Community Corrections Management location may reflect a later phase of federal custody administration. The locator’s record-availability explanation should be checked when a result seems unclear.
Federal supervised release is a court-imposed period after prison. BOP’s custody result does not show every term or final end date. The U.S. District Court docket for the federal case is the better source when a case number is available and supervision details are needed.
FCI Danbury Transfer Boundaries
Several labels can look like release while describing movement. Transfer to another BOP institution keeps the person in federal custody. Movement under the U.S. Marshals Service can occur for court or transport. A state or immigration detainer can lead to a handoff after the federal sentence. In each case, BOP release and return to the community are different questions.
| Result | What to check next |
|---|---|
| Named BOP facility | The person remains assigned to federal custody. |
| IN TRANSIT | Wait for the receiving BOP location or contact the proper federal case source. |
| RELEASED | Confirm court supervision or another custody system only if relevant. |
| State or ICE handoff | Use that receiving agency’s official locator or record. |
CT DOC and ICE data should never be used to reinterpret the BOP field. They answer whether the person is in a different system. The BOP record remains the authority for the end of FCI Danbury custody.
FCI Danbury Official Search
The BOP inmate locator page displays the official number and name search options. Its source view appears below:

A photo is not among the public fields confirmed by the research. Do not treat the BOP locator as a mugshot gallery. Additional public federal records must be requested through the appropriate BOP or court route.
Note: Keep the register number with the result because it is the most reliable way to match future federal custody updates.
FCI Danbury Release Records Compared
The BOP locator, facility contact, and federal court docket answer three different questions. The locator answers whether BOP still reports custody and what release date or location it displays. FCI Danbury can route a facility-level question. The federal court record explains the sentence and any term of supervised release. Combining those roles is more accurate than asking one office to supply every part of the history.
Connecticut systems are relevant only when they hold their own record. A state detainer might appear in a transfer history, but CT DOC cannot change a federal Release Date. Danbury Police cannot confirm that a BOP sentence ended merely because the prison is within city limits. CT SAVIN is a Connecticut notification program and should not be presented as the alert service for an FCI Danbury release.
For a past release, preserve the BOP register number, the date shown, and the Location value. If the record says “Released” or “Not in BOP Custody,” state only that BOP custody ended. If a federal docket shows supervised release, describe that as court supervision rather than prison custody. When another locator shows a new custodian, record the handoff as a separate event.
This distinction also controls records requests. BOP FOIA is the route for additional federal inmate information. The federal court is the route for public case filings. A receiving state or immigration agency owns its later custody record. Each source should be asked for the facts it created, which keeps an FCI Danbury release timeline clear and traceable.
