| What Federal Prisons Are In Florida |
From High Security to Relaxing by the (Fenced-In) Pool: A Security Level Tour
Florida's federal prisons offer a variety of "accommodation" options, depending on the crime and temperament of the guest (inmate, I mean inmate). Here's a quick rundown:
- High Security: These are the Fort Knoxes of the prison world. Think USP Coleman I, a place so secure, even the mosquitos need a security clearance to enter.
- Medium Security: Still pretty serious, but inmates might get to enjoy a slightly less intimidating view (like a well-placed shrub, perhaps?). FCI Coleman Medium is a good example.
- Low Security: Almost feels like a summer camp...almost. FCI Tallahassee falls into this category. Think bunk beds and maybe a horseshoe pit (supervised, of course).
- Minimum Security: Now we're talking! Think sunshine, relaxation, and maybe even a game of shuffleboard (again, supervised). But don't get too comfy, that fence ain't exactly made of chicken wire.
But Wait, There's More! (Because Florida)
Florida's got Federal Prison Camps too. These are basically minimum security prisons with an extra helping of "behave yourself or you're going back to USP Coleman I."
There's also the Federal Detention Center Miami, which is basically a holding cell for folks awaiting trial or immigration proceedings. Think of it as a temporary Airbnb...with bars.
QuickTip: Compare this post with what you already know.
