Federal Correctional Institution Milan Overview
Federal Correctional Institution Milan is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. BOP identifies it as a low-security federal correctional institution with an adjacent federal detention center. The facility is in Milan, inside Washtenaw County, but it is not a county jail and it is not a Michigan Department of Corrections prison. County jail phone lines, sheriff records pages, and MDOC OTIS do not replace the BOP locator for federal custody.
FCI Milan can matter to a Washtenaw County search because a person arrested locally on a federal warrant may be moved into BOP, U.S. Marshals, federal court, or federal detention channels. The adjacent detention center is relevant for federal pretrial and holdover detainees. A sentenced federal inmate housed at FCI Milan may have no current Washtenaw County court or jail record beyond the original local contact, if any. The federal custody system keeps its own register numbers, locations, release dates, and rules.
The captured source image from the BOP FCI Milan institution page shows the official source for the institution's federal profile.
Use that institution page with the BOP inmate locator when confirming whether a federal inmate is assigned to Milan.
Federal Correctional Institution Milan Population
The research file notes that BOP publishes current population on the FCI Milan location page, but a fixed rated capacity was not located in the BOP public page captured for this project. That means a facility stat block should not invent a rated bed number. The sourced facility type is a low-security federal correctional institution with an adjacent detention center. Population at a federal institution changes with BOP designations, transfers, release dates, court movement, medical needs, and detention center use.
For Washtenaw County inmate population work, this federal count should be kept separate from the county jail count and the WHV state-prison count. FCI Milan is physically in the county, but its population is federal. It should not be folded into WCSO custody figures or treated as a local jail roster population.
Federal Correctional Institution Milan Inmate Lookup
The main federal search path is the BOP inmate locator. It searches federal custody by BOP register number, DCDC number, FBI number, INS number, or name with optional age, sex, and race filters. The locator does not cover county jail custody, state prison custody, or juvenile custody. It also does not operate as a public federal mugshot gallery.
When a federal search is tied to a Washtenaw County arrest, local sources can still help identify the starting event. The WCSO incarcerated individual information hub checks possible local custody, the sheriff records request page is the county written-record route, and the Washtenaw Trial Court name search may show local court matters. None of those county tools replace BOP for a person in federal custody.
The captured source image from the BOP inmate locator shows the official federal search interface used for federal custody and federal custody history.
A federal inmate search should confirm identity through register numbers or demographic filters because federal records are not tied to the Washtenaw County Jail roster.
- Open the BOP inmate locator and choose number search if a register, DCDC, FBI, or INS number is known.
- Use name search when no number is known, adding age, sex, and race filters where they help avoid a false match.
- Open the matching result and confirm location, release status, and federal custody information.
- If FCI Milan appears, use the BOP institution page for contact, visiting, mail, and money instructions.
- If the person was just arrested locally and no BOP result appears, check federal court, U.S. Marshals channels, and WCSO custody separately.
| Search Path | Use It For |
|---|---|
| BOP register number | Most precise BOP search when known |
| DCDC, FBI, or INS number | Alternate number search options in the federal locator |
| Name, age, sex, race | Name-based federal inmate search with filters |
| County jail phone | Only for possible local Washtenaw County Jail custody |
| MDOC OTIS | Only for Michigan state prison or supervision records, not FCI Milan |
Federal Correctional Institution Milan Contact
BOP lists FCI Milan's public address, phone, email, and fax. Use the institution's own BOP page for facility-specific procedures and current population. Contacting WCSO or the Washtenaw County Jail will not provide full federal prison visiting or account rules because the federal system is separate. For court status, federal charges, or federal pretrial movement, federal court records and U.S. Marshals channels may also matter.

Federal Correctional Institution Milan Visits
BOP visiting rules are federal prison rules. The research confirms that BOP publishes visiting information through its national and institution pages, but it does not capture a complete Milan day-by-day schedule in the provided research file. Do not copy Washtenaw County Jail video visitation, WHV housing-unit schedules, or county contact visitation rules onto FCI Milan. Federal visits may depend on approval, custody status, institution operations, identification, dress rules, and security restrictions.
| Visit Topic | Documented Detail | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Institution rules | BOP publishes visiting rules through national and institution pages | Use the FCI Milan BOP page before travel |
| County jail visits | Not applicable to FCI Milan | Do not use WCSO video or contact visit rules |
| WHV visits | Not applicable to federal custody | Do not use MDOC housing-unit schedules |
| Schedule status | Specific captured hours not located in research | Confirm directly with BOP |
Federal Correctional Institution Milan Mail
BOP publishes mail, legal mail, phone, and money rules through national and institution channels. The research does not provide a Milan-specific deposit fee table, so no fee amount should be invented. Federal inmate accounts, mail processing, and phone procedures are not the same as Washtenaw County Jail eXpress Account deposits or county Securus voicemail. Use BOP instructions and the inmate's federal register number when the federal system requires it.
| Service | Provider or Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail address | Use current BOP mail format for FCI Milan and the inmate's register number |
| Legal mail | Follow BOP legal-mail rules, separate from ordinary personal mail |
| Phone | Use BOP federal inmate phone procedures, not county jail voicemail |
| Money deposit | Use BOP-approved channels; no Milan-specific fee table was captured |
Federal Correctional Institution Milan Intake
FCI Milan intake is federal admission, designation, detention, or transfer processing, not Washtenaw County street-arrest booking. Federal pretrial detainees may move through a federal detention center, contract jail, holdover status, or BOP facility. Sentenced federal inmates are designated through BOP. A person arrested in Washtenaw County on a federal warrant may have a local arrest event, but federal custody confirmation should move to federal court, BOP, or U.S. Marshals channels as the case progresses.
The adjacent detention center makes Milan relevant for federal pretrial and holdover custody. That does not mean all federal defendants from Washtenaw County are held there. Transfers, court dates, security level, medical needs, and BOP designations can change location. A BOP locator result is the better signal than a county jail assumption once federal custody is active.
About Federal Correctional Institution Milan
FCI Milan adds a third custody layer to Washtenaw County inmate population research. The adult county jail handles local pretrial and short local sentences. Women's Huron Valley handles Michigan state prison custody for women. FCI Milan handles federal prisoners and detention center matters under BOP authority. Because all three systems can touch people with Washtenaw County connections, the safest lookup approach is to match the agency to the custody type.
Federal booking photos are also different from county mugshots. BOP does not publish routine county-style booking mugshots through its locator. Federal records may show name, register number, age, race, sex, release date, and location, but not a local jail booking photo gallery. If the question is about filed federal charges, use federal court records rather than WCSO or MDOC.
Note: Confirm BOP location, visiting status, and inmate register details before planning any FCI Milan visit.
