Index of Federal Prison Facilities

This page lists all federal prison facilities run by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, sorted by security level. The BOP divides facilities into five security levels: minimum, low, medium, high, and administrative. Where someone gets placed depends on several factors. These include offense severity, criminal history, and escape risk. For more details, see Designation and Transfer.
