The guide

## How minimum facilities generally run.

**Fair warning:** I don't have a facility-specific guide for FCI Jesup Camp yet. What follows is the honest general version for its security level, which covers most of what matters. The local quirks live in [the facility support groups](/resources/support-groups).

Camps are the version of federal prison nobody believes until they see it: often no fence, dorm housing, and a daily rhythm built around work assignments and count (the daily headcount where everything stops) times. The security is mostly administrative. People stay because walking away turns a short sentence into a long one, not because anything physical stops them.

Day to day, the things that matter are small and concrete. Get a decent work assignment early, learn the count schedule cold, and figure out which rules get enforced and which are theater. The store (the prison store) runs weekly, the phone minutes (your monthly phone allowance) are rationed, and the internal economy runs on stamps (the inmate currency), which is why this guide tracks stamp rates in the first place.

For families: visiting is usually the most relaxed in the system, mail (paper letters, opened and screened) moves reasonably fast, and the biggest early problem is emotional, not logistical. The first two weeks feel like the whole sentence. They are not. Camps run on routine, and routine, once it arrives, is merciful.

I did my time at a camp, so if your question is camp-specific, ask it. This is the one level where there is very little I have not seen or sat next to.
