Every piece of coverage I've collected on FCI Safford, 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.

The designation is the news here. A recognizable inmate arriving at Safford does not materially change what the institution is for everyone else.

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