As many folks have now heard, Sammy Zherka was denied bail at his detention hearing a few days ago and will likely remain locked up until his trial on a variety of federal charges.

I was curious as to where exactly he was incarcerated.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons has a prisoner lookup database which lists Selim Zherka at the MCC New York facility at 150 Park Row in Manhattan.

The database lists Selim M. Zherka under Register Number 71500-054.

The database system does not allow tracking of prisoner movement unlike the New York State and County system.

Prisoners are allowed to exchange emails with the general public through the The Trust Fund Limited Inmate Computer System (TRULINCS). Inmates can only send and receive electronic messages from individuals on their approved contact list.
