	~~#REDIRECT~~ [[FCI Danbury (low-security)]]		'''Federal Correctional Institution, Danbury''' ('''FCI Danbury''') is a low-security United States federal prison for male and female inmates located in Danbury, Connecticut. The facility is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons and currently houses approximately 1,256 inmates in its low-security compound, along with an adjacent minimum-security satellite camp.<ref>[https://www.bop.gov/locations/institutions/dan/ Federal Bureau of Prisons - FCI Danbury]</ref>

			==History and Overview==

			FCI Danbury has operated as a co-educational facility, housing both male and female inmates in the low-security institution. The facility complex includes the main low-security compound as well as a minimum-security camp that provides housing for inmates requiring less restrictive custody levels. Located in Fairfield County, Connecticut, the prison serves as one of the Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities in the northeastern United States.

			==Recent Developments==

			In 2025, the Trump administration's Department of Justice terminated collective bargaining agreements with prison unions at FCI Danbury, effectively ending union protections for facility workers. The cancellation of the union contract at Danbury was part of a broader effort by the administration to end such agreements at federal correctional facilities across the country. This action eliminated workplace protections and negotiated benefits that had been in place for correctional officers and other staff members at the institution.<ref>[https://ctmirror.org/2025/09/30/trump-federal-prison-union-contract-canceled-danbury/ "Trump administration ends union contract with Danbury federal prison workers"], ''CT Mirror'', September 30, 2025.</ref><ref>[https://www.newsfromthestates.com/article/us-doj-ends-prison-union-contract-gutting-protections-fci-danbury-workers "US DOJ ends prison union contract, gutting protections for FCI Danbury workers"], ''News From The States'', 2025.</ref>
