FCI Milan Release Destinations
Federal Correctional Institution Milan is a low-security federal prison operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. A departure from the secure institution can lead to another BOP institution, a residential reentry center, home confinement, or release from BOP custody. The destination changes what the locator result means. Leaving the Milan compound does not always mean the federal custodial term has ended.
A person who completes imprisonment may enter supervised release ordered by the federal court. Supervised release is court supervision after prison. It is not Michigan parole and does not appear as an MDOC parole status. The BOP locator addresses BOP custody and release dates. The judgment and federal docket explain the length and conditions of supervision that follow.

The BOP Inmate Locator is the main public search. It covers federal prisoners from 1982 to the present and includes some historical federal records. A BOP register number is the strongest search key. A name search can also use race, sex, and age to narrow possible matches.
- Search by BOP register number when it is known.
- Otherwise enter the full name and add the available identifying filters.
- Compare the register number, age, race, sex, and facility or status information.
- Read the release date and whether the person is shown in BOP custody.
- Check the federal judgment and docket for supervised release, later orders, or another custody authority.
- Contact BOP or request the relevant record when the public result lacks the needed detail.
“Not in BOP custody” needs context. It can follow release, a move outside BOP responsibility, completion of the custodial term, or another status reflected in the full record. It does not state that no court supervision remains. A result should be matched by register number and read with the federal case before drawing a conclusion.
Note: A Michigan OTIS no-result is expected for a federal-only sentence and says nothing about FCI Milan custody.
FCI Milan Contact
The official facility line can route current institutional questions. Staff may be limited in what they can disclose about a person, and the research did not verify a dedicated public release desk or release hours. A locator result, court document, or formal records route is better when a written release date or movement record is needed.
Federal Correctional Institution Milan
4004 East Arkona Road
Milan, MI 48160
734-439-1511
The facility is federal even though its official address places it in the Milan area serving the Washtenaw geography. WCSO records staff cannot certify a BOP release. MDOC cannot correct a federal sentence or BOP locator result. Direct the question to the federal custodian that created the record.
FCI Milan Federal Release Facility
The official FCI Milan page identifies it as a low-security federal correctional institution. That classification describes the institution's federal role. It does not create a public local release list, and no reliable facility-specific release schedule was found in the supplied research.
The official facility page is also the source for the image below.
The federal operator and low-security designation point every release inquiry toward BOP systems rather than county jail or state prison records.
Read FCI Milan Release Results
The BOP locator provides identity, custody, location, and release-date information at a public level. It generally does not serve as a full movement history, release certificate, or account of post-prison supervision. A date tied to BOP custody should not be restated as the end of every federal obligation.
- Register number
- The federal identifier used to distinguish people with similar names.
- Current facility
- The BOP location shown for a person still within the public custody system.
- Release date
- The date associated with release from BOP custody, subject to record context.
- Not in BOP custody
- A status requiring the court record and movement context to understand what followed.
- Supervised release
- Federal court supervision after imprisonment, separate from BOP confinement.
The official federal inmate locator form shows the number and biographical search routes.
The register-number route reduces mistaken identity and should be used before relying on a broad name result.
FCI Milan Reentry Transfers
A person can move from secure FCI Milan custody to a residential reentry center or home confinement before the federal custodial term fully ends. Such a move is a change in placement. It should not be described as an unconditional return to the community. BOP remains the relevant authority for the custodial placement until its legal role ends.
Public locator wording may not explain each intermediate move in detail. The sentencing record, BOP contact, and a targeted record request can help distinguish a secure-facility departure from final release. If another authority takes custody, the receiving system becomes essential. The date of physical departure from Milan and the date BOP responsibility ends may differ.
Supervised Release After FCI Milan
Federal supervised release begins after imprisonment when the judgment orders it. The federal probation system and court oversee it. Michigan parole offices do not manage these terms. A BOP locator result may show the prison release date but not list the full conditions, modification history, or end date of court supervision.
Read the judgment for the original term. Later docket orders may change conditions, address an alleged violation, revoke supervision, or impose another custodial term. The public federal case record provides legal context that a locator cannot. Counsel or the court clerk may be needed when the docket summary is incomplete.
USMS Cases Near FCI Milan
The U.S. Marshals Service is responsible for many federal defendants from court-ordered detention through acquittal or conviction and delivery to BOP. A pretrial federal defendant can be held in contract space without appearing as a sentenced BOP prisoner. USMS has no open public locator comparable to the BOP system.
For a pretrial federal case, use the federal docket, counsel, and the relevant USMS district. Washtenaw County lies in the Eastern District of Michigan, and the research identifies an Ann Arbor USMS office number of 734-741-2143. A historical movement record can be requested through USMS FOIA with the person's identity, district, case, and a narrow date range.
Do not infer FCI Milan admission or release merely from a federal court appearance. The case may involve USMS detention, a different contract site, later BOP designation, or a noncustodial order. Each stage has its own custodian.
Immigration Custody After Federal Release
Immigration custody is a separate federal path. If a BOP or court record indicates transfer to ICE, search the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. It accepts a nine-digit A-number with country of birth, or exact biographical details. Add leading zeroes to a shorter A-number when required.
ICE says the locator includes current detainees and some people released from ICE custody during the prior 60 days. People under 18 do not appear. Exact spelling, upload delay, and display limits can produce a miss. ICE's Detention Reporting and Information Line is 888-351-4024, Monday through Friday except holidays, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern.
A BOP release followed by ICE transfer is not community release. Likewise, a BOP no-custody result does not state what ICE did next. Confirm the receiving authority and then use that agency's record.
Request FCI Milan Release Records
When the locator and docket do not answer the question, request the existing federal record held by the proper agency. Identify the person by full name, BOP register number, court case, institution, and a narrow date span. Name the specific record, such as a release-date record, movement or transfer record, designation record, or document showing the end of BOP custody.
- Confirm whether BOP, USMS, the court, or ICE created the record.
- Use the register number, case number, or A-number linked to that system.
- Describe the existing document or field instead of asking the agency to research a narrative answer.
- Ask for electronic delivery and follow the agency's identity or privacy requirements.
- Read any partial denial, redaction, fee, and appeal instructions carefully.
A BOP record cannot establish the end of supervised release because that authority belongs to the federal court. A court judgment may not show the exact physical movement time from FCI Milan. A USMS record concerns marshal custody, while ICE records address immigration detention. Correct routing is the core of an accurate federal release search.
FCI Milan Versus Local Custody
Three prison and jail systems operate near Washtenaw County. FCI Milan is federal and uses BOP records. Women's Huron Valley is a state prison and uses OTIS and MDOC records. Washtenaw County Jail is local and uses WCSO, court, and MI-VINE channels. A name can move between these systems, but one system's no-result cannot decide another system's status.
The broader Washtenaw County released inmate search separates these custody routes when the last authority is not yet clear. For a known FCI Milan case, stay with BOP, the federal docket, supervised-release records, and any documented receiving agency.
Note: Physical location within Washtenaw County does not convert federal confinement into county or Michigan state corrections custody.
