Sample text alert. No app, no login, no checking bop.gov yourself.
The BOP doesn't call.
You have to find out on your own.
Federal inmates can be transferred to a new facility with no notice to family. No phone call. No letter. No text.
You find out when a letter comes back unopened. Or when you arrive at a facility and they tell you he's not here anymore. Or not at all.
We built Right To Notify because that shouldn't happen to you.
Three steps.
No account.
That's all we need to start. You'll get a verification email right away — no account to create.
One click confirms your email. We'll reply right away telling you which facility they're at now — then we keep watching.
Every day at 6 AM Eastern, our system queries the official Bureau of Prisons inmate locator for every person we're watching. If the facility has changed, we text you right away.
Built directly on
the Bureau of Prisons.
We search the exact same federal system that BOP maintains — the same data the government makes available — and we monitor it for you automatically.
The BOP's own public inmate locator at bop.gov is the authoritative source for federal inmate locations. We don't have a proprietary database. We don't scrape a secondary source. We don't make guesses.
Right To Notify is an independent service and is not affiliated with the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
We'll notify you
when we're down.
Our system is down at the moment. We're working on resolving issues. https://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/.
