USP Florence - High Overview
USP Florence - High is the high-security federal penitentiary at the Federal Correctional Complex in Florence. The BOP official API lists the facility at 5880 HWY 67 S, Florence, CO 81226, phone 719-784-9454, contact FLX-ExecAssistant-S@bop.gov, North Central Region, high security, and male offenders. It is a federal prison, so its search, visiting, mail, and money rules come from BOP rather than from Fremont County or CDOC.
Fremont County's official correctional-capital page describes FCC Florence as a major federal footprint with more than 2,300 inmates across four federal prisons. Within that federal complex, the county narrative distinguishes the camp as the lowest security, FCI Florence as medium security, and USP or ADX facilities as high or administrative maximum. USP Florence - High should be understood as the high-security penitentiary component, separate from USP Florence ADMAX even though both share the Florence federal complex setting.
Because the facility is federal, readers should not expect county jail booking fields, local bond information, or public mugshots. The BOP public locator can help confirm federal custody, register number, release date, and location fields. It does not publish federal booking photos, and it does not replace federal court records or attorney communication when a person is still moving through pre-designation custody.
USP Florence - High Capacity and Population
The BOP API gives population fields dynamically, and the research did not capture a current count for USP Florence - High. The facility-specific supported data points are the high security level, male federal population, address, and phone number. The complex-level local context is the county's statement that FCC Florence has more than 2,300 inmates in four federal prisons. Do not treat that complex total as the current USP Florence - High population.
How to Look Up an Inmate at USP Florence - High
Use the BOP Inmate Locator for USP Florence - High. The BOP locator covers federal inmates incarcerated from 1982 to the present. Search by register number when possible. A name search can also use age, race, and sex fields to narrow results. A result may show release-date information, but BOP warns that First Step Act sentence recalculations may affect release-date accuracy.
- Open the BOP locator and search by register number if you have it.
- If searching by name, enter full name and use available identifying fields to reduce false matches.
- Confirm the location field and distinguish USP Florence - High from FCI Florence, the camp, and ADMAX.
- If the person is not found, check whether they are not yet in BOP custody, have been released, are in another system, or are in supervised release status.
The official BOP locator at bop.gov/inmateloc is shown below. It is the correct lookup channel for USP Florence - High because the facility is federal BOP custody.
If the locator displays Released or Not in BOP Custody, do not assume the person has no legal status. BOP notes that the person may be in another correctional or criminal-justice system, on parole, or on supervised release.

Federal Designation and Public Records
USP Florence - High is not a county booking facility. A person reaches the penitentiary after federal custody processing and BOP designation or transfer. If a newly arrested federal defendant does not appear in BOP, check federal court records, counsel channels, or U.S. Marshals-related custody information instead of assuming the person should already be listed at USP Florence - High.
Records should be requested from the agency that maintains them. BOP controls inmate location and institution records. Federal court controls case filings. Local sheriff records apply only to local booking or temporary local custody. ICE ODLS applies only when immigration detention is the issue.
About USP Florence - High
USP Florence - High is a distinct federal facility within the Florence complex. Its name is sometimes shortened in casual conversation, but the exact name matters because FCC Florence also includes FCI Florence, the camp, and USP Florence ADMAX. Use the exact BOP facility record when confirming custody, visiting, and mailing instructions.
BOP public locator records do not publish federal mugshots. They are custody and location records, not booking-photo records. For sentence details, consult federal court records or counsel; for facility operations, use BOP.
Note: Confirm BOP custody, high-security visiting status, and mail or money rules before taking action.
