Where Do Federal Inmates Go

Where Do Federal Inmates Go

Federal inmates are designated to Bureau of Prisons facilities nationwide: camps (minimum security, no fences), low security (dormitories, fences), medium security (cells, walls), high security/penitentiaries (cells, high walls, serious offenders), administrative facilities (special needs, pre-trial detention). BOP determines facility based on: sentence length, criminal history, security classification, program needs. Designation typically within 4-6 weeks of sentencing. Judge can recommend facility but BOP makes final decision. Federal criminal system is complex with life-altering consequences. Understanding your options and having experienced representation makes critical difference in outcomes.
