USP Tucson Federal Facility Overview

The BOP USP Tucson facility page identifies USP Tucson at 9300 South Wilmot Road in Tucson. The research describes it as a high-security U.S. penitentiary with an adjacent minimum-security satellite camp. It is part of the federal Bureau of Prisons system, not the Pima County Sheriff's Department and not the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation & Reentry. For public lookup purposes, that means the BOP Inmate Locator is the correct source.

USP Tucson and FCI Tucson are both federal institutions in the Pima County area, but they are not interchangeable names. USP Tucson is the high-security penitentiary and satellite camp. FCI Tucson is the medium-security federal correctional institution. BOP records identify the facility location for each federal prisoner, and the same public locator handles both. The county jail roster should only be used for Pima County jail custody, such as recent local booking or current PCSD detention.

The official BOP facility page is the source for USP Tucson's federal institution profile.

That page confirms the BOP facility identity, while the separate locator is used to search for a person in federal custody.

USP Tucson Capacity and Population

FCC Tucson PREA report materials provide the best facility-specific figures captured in the research. They list USP designated capacity at 972 and satellite camp designated capacity at 128. The report population was 973 for USP and 126 for the satellite camp. The 12-month average daily population was 968 for USP and 113 for the camp. These are federal report figures. They should not be confused with Pima County jail average daily population or ADCRR state prison counts.

USP Tucson Federal Inmate Lookup

The BOP Inmate Locator is the correct search tool for USP Tucson. BOP says the locator covers federal inmates incarcerated from 1982 to the present. Users can search by BOP register number or by name. The research captured BOP fields including name, register number, age, race, sex, release date, and location. The BOP locator does not show mugshots, and it is not designed to replace federal court records for charge, conviction, or sentencing detail.

1. Open the official BOP Inmate Locator.
2. Use the number search when a register number is available, or search by first and last name.
3. Use age, race, sex, and location to distinguish common-name matches.
4. Confirm whether the location is USP Tucson, the satellite camp, FCI Tucson, released, or another federal status.

The BOP locator page is the official federal search source for USP Tucson prisoners.

If a person is listed as released or not in BOP custody, BOP notes that another custody or supervision status may apply.

USP Tucson Address and Contact

USP Tucson uses BOP facility contact information. The BOP directory material captured in the research lists the main phone and fax. Use these federal contacts for institution routing, while using the locator for person-level custody status. For court filings, sentence documents, and formal case history, use the federal court record rather than expecting the facility to provide a full criminal-case file.

USP Tucson Visiting Rules

USP Tucson visits follow BOP procedures and the facility's own visiting instructions. The research file does not include a complete USP Tucson visiting-days schedule, so no day-by-day table should be invented. Federal prison visits are not the same as PCSD county jail video visits. They also differ from ADCRR state-prison visitation. Visitors should confirm approval, allowed days, arrival rules, identification, dress standards, and any operational restrictions with BOP and the facility before travel.

Note: Federal prison visiting schedules can change, so verify with USP Tucson or BOP before arriving at the institution.

USP Tucson Mail and Commissary

Mail, telephone, commissary, and deposit rules for USP Tucson are BOP rules. The research does not give a USP Tucson fee schedule, so unsupported amounts are omitted. The practical rule is to use the inmate's federal name and register number and to follow BOP-approved mail and deposit methods. Pima County jail vendors do not serve USP Tucson, and ADCRR deposit vendors are for Arizona state prisoners rather than BOP prisoners.

USP Tucson Federal Custody

USP Tucson custody usually follows a federal conviction and BOP designation, though federal custody pathways can include pretrial detention, U.S. Marshals custody, transfer, and later BOP placement. Research notes that federal pretrial detainees may not appear in the BOP locator until they are in BOP custody. That explains why a person with a federal case may not always be found in BOP immediately. A federal court docket or the holding agency may be needed for the earliest case stage.

Holds and detainers add another layer. A Pima County jail record may show a hold or court reference, but it does not prove final federal prison placement. ICE ODLS is also separate from BOP and is used for immigration custody. No official ICE detention facility physically in Pima County was located in the research, but ICE ODLS remains the correct immigration-detention fallback when facts point that way.

Register number

The BOP identifier used in federal inmate records and searches.

Satellite camp

A minimum-security camp adjacent to the high-security penitentiary.

Detainer

A request or hold from another agency that can affect release or transfer.

About USP Tucson

USP Tucson is one of several custody systems physically present in Pima County. County jail custody is searched through PCSD under Sheriff Chris Nanos. Sentenced state prison custody is searched through ADCRR. Federal prison custody is searched through BOP. Immigration custody uses ICE ODLS when applicable. The presence of all these systems in one county makes the wrong-locator problem common. Start with the agency that would legally hold the person, then move to the next system only if the case facts support it.

If the federal case began with a Pima County booking, the county side may still require the PCSD jail page, the PCSD Inmate Lookup, or the PCSD jail-record request form. Those sources do not replace the BOP locator for USP Tucson, but they help trace the local arrest stage.

Research materials also listed wardens in FCC Tucson report materials, including Mark Gutierrez for Complex/USP and Bryan Hudson for FCI. Those report names are facility context, but current staff can change. For the user-facing custody search, the stable facts are the facility type, BOP operation, address, phone number, population figures from the report, and BOP locator path. When BOP location reads FCI rather than USP, use the FCI Tucson facility details instead.
