Anyone have information on Fairton FCI?

For anyone coming behind me...looking for directions but unable to find them with the address listed on www.bop.gov, I'll share what I found.

Since I couldn't get straight directions with the address listed on the bop site, I went to google maps arial view...and noticed a tree farm right down the road. The address listed was as follows:

461 Fairton Rd
Bridgeton, NJ 08302


(The zip code and street are named differently but if you google it, you'll see the FCI)

Not sure this link will work...but it's the google link

I'm interested in any and all information anyone has.

Hi,

I'm interested in the medium...have basics down after all these years but upon arriving at a new facility for visitation, I am one who likes to go in knowing exactly what I need to be doing and where to go!

Sorry dont know much about the medium other then it is more of a high then a medium, other then being in the shu for about 3 days......

will say the camp wasnt too bad and the cos where very fair and polite at all times

Why do you say it's more of a high then a medium?

just going by what the cos said, we where a satilite camp ( outside the fence) and very rearly allowed in but my understanding is that other then the fact that I has no towers unoffically its concidered a med to high security fascility

It's understood why you could consider it to be a high serving your time in a FSC. But...from my experience with visiting, it surely resembles a meduim as well as those who have been able to share experiences with me who have had loved ones in USP's as well.

thank you,

the most important thing is that we make it though the time as comfortable as posible

best of luck
