Tucson Federal Correctional Complex
The Federal Correctional Complex, Tucson (FCC Tucson) is a United States federal prison complex for male inmates in Arizona. It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a division of the United States Department of Justice. The complex consists of two facilities: * Federal Correctional Institution, Tucson (FCI Tucson): a medium-security facility. * United States Penitentiary, Tucson (USP Tucson): a high-security facility with a satellite prison camp for minimum-security inmates. History and facility About 520 employees are required to staff the entire federal complex with additional labor provided by the minimum-security camp. The opening of the U.S. Penitentiary in February 2007 worsened a local shortage of prison officers, drawing some staff away from the nearby state prison complex operated by the Arizona Department of Corrections, also on Wilmot Road.
