If your letter states that you are to self-surrender to the detention center, you may be there the entire time. Let's be grateful it is only five months. Lee Weingarten Fastow (Enron wife) had requested to go to FPC Bryan and the judge agreed but the BOP sent her to the Houston Detention Center for 5 months.

The FCI is a medium security facility. Perhaps they will transfer you to the adjacent camp as soon as they have space. I have no knowledge of life in a medium security facility but I'm sure you can get the information you need during the next few weeks.

welcome to Federal Forum, it's good to have first hand knowledge of Fairton.

I am getting sentenced in Baltimore on October 5, 2006 and am requesting FPC Fairton relative to any incarceration imposed. It has gotten good reviews across the board, and its the closest federal institution to my home near Ocean City, MD.

I was released from the camp at Fairton in March of 2006, if you have any specific questions feel free to ask and I will help as much as I can

phillysentance · #9 09-25-2006, 08:39 PM

I was released in July 2006. Feel free to ask anyquestions as well.

Fed Up and Phillysentance, please provide reviews detailing your experience . . .

GOODT · #11 10-21-2006, 05:49 PM

well, you didnt ask me buttt I tell you any way..... In my opinion if you have to do time fairton is about the best to do it...

Its one of the smallest camps in the system and its all dorm style

has many amenitys and when I was there the staff actually caried

the food was above average ( the inmate who ran the kitchen owned a cattering company on the out side )

theearle · #12 06-03-2007, 09:09 AM

Are there any Study programs ASt Fairton?

GOODT · #13 06-09-2007, 04:15 PM

When I was there there where a few programs but not many as the camp is so small it hard for them to justify it

I am interested in learning as much as possible about FCI Fairton, not the camp, but the medium security prison. If anyone can give me any info- I would so appreciate it. My son just was brought there to begin his 5 year sentence. I am from RI.

Hi Connors:
My guy is in the camp at Fairton. I don't know a lot about the medium security prison, but it is more like high security. There is a fairly new assistant warden there that is a female and she has been making a lot of changes that are not so good. I was inside the locked prison once for visiting when he was in the hole and i didn't like it very much. You have to go thru metal detectors. Bring at least $20 when you visit so you can buy food. The coffee and cappocino are good.
