Background

The Federal Prison Camp, Montgomery (FPC Montgomery) is a minimum-security United States federal prison for male inmates in Montgomery, Alabama. It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a division of the United States Department of Justice. FPC Montgomery is located on the grounds of Maxwell Air Force Base, in northwest Montgomery, Alabama. The majority of inmates at the camp serve time for white-collar, drug-related, or immigration crimes and do not have a history of violence, and most are on sentences under 10 years and have a personal history making them fit for camp placement.
