	* Reddit user u/reallarrynoodles conducted [https://reddit.com/r/AMA/comments/as3wht/ an AMA in 2019] about serving time at Otisville, describing it as "a celebrity prison in close quarters with billionaires" where he met "really rich biotech dudes who scammed people for hundreds of ~~millions of dollars."~~		We have not yet heard any notes or tips from alumni of FCI Otisville (minimum-security camp). Have something you'd like to contribute? Log in above and then tap Edit at the top of this page to get started.
	* Justin Paperny compiled insights from inmates at Otisville ~~Camp in [https://www.whitecollaradvice.com/pros-and-cons-of-otisville-federal-prison~~-camp~~/ Pros and Cons of Otisville Federal Prison Camp] (2018~~), including: "The camp has no fence or wire or anything" and inmates noted "ample time for the Jewish Population to attend services" with kosher dining options. One inmate stated: "I eat better here than I do at home.~~" However, inmates also criticized the lack of programming: "most of the jobs only last a few minutes a day" and "no redemptive features where I can come out saying I learned~~ something."
	* Reddit user u/didntknowitwasathing described the camp in [https://reddit.com/r/fyrefestival/comments/ai6iy8/ a 2019 thread]: "It'~~s a minimum security federal prison composed of white collar inmates... they have limited access~~ to ~~the internet, the ability to email/call people pretty liberally, and~~ in~~-person visitation in a room with couches allowing for physical contact.

	* [[Mike_Sorrentino\|Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino]] discussed his time at Otisville on [https://reddit.com/r/jerseyshore/comments/e7cefu/ Jersey Shore Family Vacation] after his release in 2019, sharing stories about fellow inmates including [[Michael_Cohen\|Michael Cohen]] and [[Billy_McFarland\|Billy McFarland]].

			== Frequently Asked Questions ==

			{{FAQSection/Start}}

			{{FAQ
			\|question = Does FCI Otisville allow conjugal visits?
			\|answer = No. FCI Otisville does not allow conjugal visits. The Federal Bureau of Prisons does not permit conjugal visits at any facility regardless of security level. This includes all minimum-security federal prison camps, low-security FCIs, medium-security facilities, and high-security USPs. Only four state prison systems (California, Connecticut, New York, and Washington) allow conjugal visits for state prisoners. Federal inmates have no access to conjugal or extended family visits anywhere in the BOP system.
			}}

			{{FAQ
			\|question = What types of visitation are allowed at FCI Otisville?
			\|answer = FCI Otisville allows contact visits during designated visiting hours, typically on weekends and holidays. Contact visits permit brief embraces at the start and end of visits, but prolonged physical contact is not allowed. All visits occur in supervised visiting rooms. Visitors must be pre-approved through a background check process and must follow dress code requirements. For full details, see the [[Visiting_Policies_and_Procedures\|Visiting Policies and Procedures]] page.

			'''FCI Otisville Satellite Prison Camp''' is a minimum-security United States federal prison camp for male inmates located adjacent to [[FCI Otisville (medium-security)\|FCI Otisville]] in Otisville, New York. It is operated by the [[Index of Federal Prison Facilities\|Federal Bureau of Prisons]], a division of the United States Department of Justice. The camp has become particularly well-known for housing white-collar offenders due to its proximity to New York City.

			== Overview ==

			The Otisville camp is a minimum-security satellite facility that provides housing for low-risk, non-violent inmates. As a federal prison camp, it features dormitory-style housing with limited perimeter barriers. The facility is located approximately 70 miles northwest of New York City in Orange County, making it a desirable designation for white-collar offenders with family in the metropolitan area.

			The camp has been nicknamed "Club Fed" due to its reputation for housing wealthy and high-profile inmates in relatively comfortable conditions compared to higher-security facilities.

			== Notable Inmates ==

			FCI Otisville Camp has housed numerous high-profile white-collar offenders:

			* '''[[Michael Cohen]]''' - Former personal attorney to President Donald Trump, served time for campaign finance violations, tax evasion, and lying to Congress. Released early to home confinement during COVID-19.
			* '''[[Michael Avenatti]]''' - Celebrity attorney known for representing Stormy Daniels, convicted of extortion and fraud.
			* '''Billy McFarland''' - Fyre Festival organizer, convicted of wire fraud.
			* '''Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino''' - Reality TV star from "Jersey Shore," served 8 months for tax evasion.
