FCI Fairton (minimum-security camp)
Notes from Alumni
- One Yelp reviewer offered this memorable assessment: "You know how they say Disney is the happiest place on Earth? This is the exact opposite. 1 star. Would not recommend."
- A former inmate who transferred through multiple facilities observed: "I can tell you that the level of freedom and anxiety is markedly different as one moves lower in security." He spent time at Fairton before his security level dropped.
- The camp offers a unique apprenticeship in Dog Trainer for Hearing Impaired, training inmates to prepare service dogs for the deaf community.
- FCI Fairton boasts the largest recreation field of any prison facility in the Northeast, with programs including yoga, meditation, ceramics, leather working, and various intramural sports leagues.
Please remember that experiences are unique and may not reflect today's experience.
