A maximum-security facility, this is the first federal prison to incorporate a four-story special housing/special confinement unit to hold disciplinary, death row, and administrative segregation inmates. The prison is located on the same property as the existing USP and is designed in a “compound plan” arrangement with related site development and site utilities.
The most notable features of this design-build project include six general housing units with 1,200 beds, a special confinement unit, an outside administration building and inside administration offices, seven guard towers, an emergency operations center, security and support functions, a central utility plant, a multi-use building that includes the UNICOR factory, food and health services, a recreation
building, and maintenance shops.
