Background
The Federal Correctional Institution, Atlanta (FCI Atlanta) is a low-security United States federal prison for male inmates in Atlanta, Georgia. It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a division of the United States Department of Justice. The facility also has a satellite prison camp for minimum-security male inmates, a detention center for male pretrial inmates (also likely used for inmates serving brief sentences), and also has an additional high and/or maximum security detention center unit[s] (possibly for holdover inmates from former USP, higher risk inmates serving brief sentences and/or inmates from the FCI with behavioural concerns).
