# FPC Duluth: In the news

Every piece of coverage I've collected on FPC Duluth, newest first. Local reporters catch things the BOP (the federal Bureau of Prisons) never announces, so this is often the closest thing to a public record the facility has. Links go to the original outlets.

Programs are one of the least sensational parts of prison and often among the most useful. Theater will never get the clicks that a lockdown does, but that doesn't make it less relevant.

Coverage is collected automatically and reviewed by hand before it lands here. Headlines are the outlets' words, not mine.

**Need help with this? Just ask.**

These pages cover the general rules. Your situation has details they don't. Email me a question. **Answers are free** , and "you don't need to pay anyone for this" is my most common answer.

[hello@federalprisondude.com](mailto:hello@federalprisondude.com?subject=Question%20about%20FPC%20Duluth)

I answer in the order received, usually within a couple of days. I have a day job. If your situation genuinely needs more than an email, I take a limited number of consults, so say so and we'll work it out.
