			* Prison consultant [https://federalcriminaldefenseattorney.com/federal-bureau-prisons/fpc-montgomery-camp/ Christopher Zoukis] noted that approximately one-third of inmates are white-collar criminals, and the facility provides work for about 400 inmates at Maxwell Air Force Base including "grass trimming, landscaping, equipment cleaning, and equipment repair."
