The Federal Correctional Complex, Coleman (FCC Coleman) is a federal prison complex in Coleman, Florida. It sits in unincorporated Sumter County, near Wildwood, in the central part of the state. Tampa lies about 60 miles to the southwest. Orlando is roughly 50 miles to the east. The complex holds only male inmates. It runs across the full federal security spectrum, from a minimum-security camp to two high-security penitentiaries.[1]
Coleman is one of the largest federal prison complexes in the United States. As of October 2025 it held approximately 5,528 inmates across its facilities.[2] The figure has run higher in the past. A 2010 count put the population above 7,000.[3]
Overview
The Bureau of Prisons groups several institutions onto one site at Coleman. Each operates as a separate prison with its own warden, staff, and inmate classification. They share the perimeter, utilities, and certain support services. This complex model lets the Bureau hold inmates at different custody levels in one location and move them between security levels without transferring them across the country.[1]
The first institution at Coleman, the low-security FCI, opened in 1995.[4] The high-security penitentiary USP Coleman I opened in 2001.[4] A second penitentiary, USP Coleman II, was added a few years later as the federal inmate population grew through the 2000s.[2]
The complex is one of the largest employers in Sumter County. Staffing has run to roughly 1,300 employees, including correctional officers, medical and mental health staff, case managers, instructors, and administrative personnel.[3]
Most inmates held at Coleman, outside the high-security penitentiary, are serving time for drug offenses and were not convicted of violent crimes.[3]
Facilities in the Complex
FCC Coleman is made up of four institutions plus a satellite camp.
USP Coleman I is a high-security United States penitentiary for male inmates. It opened in 2001. It holds inmates who require the tightest custody, based on criminal history, sentence length, or conduct in prison. As of October 2025 it held about 1,361 inmates.[2]
USP Coleman II is a second high-security penitentiary on the site. It was built to add penitentiary capacity to the complex. As of October 2025 it held about 1,034 inmates.[2]
FCI Coleman Medium is a medium-security Federal Correctional Institution. It holds male inmates who need more supervision than a low-security setting provides but do not require penitentiary custody. A satellite camp for minimum-security inmates operates next to it. As of October 2025 the medium institution held about 1,522 inmates.[2]
FCI Coleman Low is a low-security Federal Correctional Institution. It was the first prison built at Coleman, opening in 1995. Low-security institutions use dormitory-style housing and a higher staff-to-inmate ratio than camps. As of October 2025 it held about 1,611 inmates.[2]
The satellite camp holds minimum-security male inmates. Camp inmates have the lowest custody classification in the federal system. They typically have short sentences remaining, clean conduct records, and work assignments that support the larger complex.[1]
Notable Inmates
Several well-known white-collar offenders have served time at Coleman.
Conrad Black, the newspaper publisher and former member of the British House of Lords, was held at Coleman after his 2007 conviction for fraud and obstruction of justice. He was released in 2012.[3]
Allen Stanford, the financier convicted in 2012 of running a multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme through Stanford Financial Group, was designated to Coleman to serve a 110-year sentence.[3]
Matthew Bevan Cox, a former mortgage broker who pleaded guilty in 2007 to a mortgage fraud scheme that took about $15 million from victims across several states, served his sentence at Coleman. He later wrote about white-collar crime. The Atlantic profiled him in 2019.[3]
Roy Ageloff, a former stockbroker convicted in connection with a securities fraud scheme that cost investors millions, was also held at the complex.[3]
Location and Visitation
FCC Coleman is in Coleman, Florida, in Sumter County. The street address for the low-security institution and camp is 846 NE 54th Terrace, Coleman, FL 33521. Mail for those inmates goes to PO Box 1031, Coleman, FL 33521.[5] Each institution in the complex uses its own mailing address and PO box, so mail must be directed to the specific facility where an inmate is housed.
Visiting days and hours vary by institution and security level. At the low-security FCI, visiting runs Monday, Saturday, Sunday, and federal holidays, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The satellite camp visits on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.[5] The penitentiaries and the medium institution set their own schedules. Visitors should confirm the current schedule and approved-visitor requirements with the specific facility before traveling.
Inmate location can be confirmed through the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator, which lists the institution where a federal inmate is held.[1]
