Common questions about FCI Fairton
- Does FCI Fairton have RDAP?
- No — RDAP is not offered at FCI Fairton. People approved for RDAP transfer to an institution that runs it; the case manager submits the referral once Psychology Services qualifies the person for the program.
- What security levels does FCI Fairton hold?
- FCI Fairton holds Medium and Minimum (camp) custody. Security level shapes program availability and halfway-house planning, but Good Conduct Time and First Step Act earning rules are the same at every level.
- When do people at FCI Fairton move to a halfway house?
- FCI Fairton is in the Northeast Region region, where halfway-house placements have recently slipped roughly 60 days past the eligible date on average (editorial estimate driven by contracted bed capacity). The window itself comes from Second Chance Act authority plus applied First Step Act credits.
- How do I find someone at FCI Fairton or check their release date?
- Use the free official BOP inmate locator (bop.gov/inmateloc) with the person's name or 8-digit register number. The listed release date includes projected Good Conduct Time and applied First Step Act credits, but never shows halfway-house or home-confinement dates — those have to be projected from the sentence computation.

Estimates, not promises
This page describes federal law and Bureau of Prisons policy in general terms for education. It is not legal advice, it doesn't account for the facts of any individual case, and no attorney–client relationship is created by reading it. The BOP makes all final release-date determinations. Have an attorney review anything before you file it. Built by OutDate, the federal release date calculator.
