I am new to all this. My fiance' is in county waiting transfer to fed prison for a 12 month sentence. We have 8 months to go. He has already been in for 4 months and been moved 4 times. Twice to the same county jail. He is now back where he began. Can anyone give me info. on fed prisons around Charlotte. His lawyer requested Seymour Johnson but I know with the feds, you don't always get a choice. I also have heard of Butner. He will be minimum. So any info will help. Thanks.

FPC Seymour Johnson and FCC Butner are the most likely. Both of them have space.

For what it's worth, I think that he should have a fairly decent shot at SEY unless he has something in his background that would prohibit that designation. If so, then odds would greatly favor Butner Camp (or worst case scenario Butner Low).

Thank you greyghost. I have been worried he will get sent far from home. But since they both have room I feel better. About how long does it take to get to your destination? I keep checking the bop website but he doesn't show. Will he have to get to his destination before he shows up? Thanks again?

You''re welcome.

Once all the appropriate paperwork has been received, it should not take more than 72 hours for the designation to be made. The key being 'all the paperwork'.

Good luck
