| '''Federal Correctional Institution, Oxford''' was a low-security satellite federal prison facility located in [[Oxford, Wisconsin]]. The facility was operated by the [[Federal Bureau of Prisons]] (BOP) as part of the federal corrections system serving inmates requiring low-security custody.
| |
| | |
| ==History and Operations==
| |
| | |
| FCI Oxford operated as a satellite facility within the federal prison system, providing low-security housing for federal inmates. As a satellite prison, the facility functioned in conjunction with a larger parent institution, offering a lower security environment for inmates who met specific classification criteria. The Bureau of Prisons utilizes satellite facilities as a cost-effective approach to housing minimum and low-security inmates while maintaining operational efficiency across the federal corrections system.

| | |
| ==Closure==
| |
| | |
| The Federal Bureau of Prisons announced in 2025 that FCI Oxford would be among seven federal facilities slated for closure as part of a broader consolidation effort within the federal prison system.<ref>[https://www.fedagent.com/news/bop-to-shut-seven-federal-facilities-including-troubled-california-prison "BOP to Shut Seven Federal Facilities, Including Troubled California Prison"], ''FEDagent'', 2025.</ref> The closure decision reflected the BOP's ongoing efforts to streamline operations and address capacity issues across the federal corrections system. The facility's closure was part of a larger initiative to consolidate resources and improve efficiency within the Bureau of Prisons' institutional network.

| | |
| The closure of FCI Oxford and other federal facilities occurred during a period of significant policy changes within the federal corrections system, including implementation of [[First Step Act]] provisions and efforts to place inmates closer to their home communities when possible.<ref>[https://oig.justice.gov/reports/audit-federal-bureau-prisons-efforts-place-inmates-close-home "Audit of the Federal Bureau of Prisons' Efforts to Place Inmates Close to Home"], ''Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General'', Accessed 2025.</ref>
