# FMC Fort Worth: In the news

Every piece of coverage I've collected on FMC Fort Worth, 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.

Celebrity transfer coverage makes routine BOP movement sound like NBA free agency.

Federal prison paperwork apparently includes a marriage arc if you stay long enough.

Sexual assault in custody deserves careful language. The person incarcerated cannot remove himself from the environment or simply avoid the people responsible for his safety.
