Federal prison camp is not like anything you'd see on television, it's not like "Orange is the New Black". There are no cells, it is an army barracks-like sleeping arrangement. Large dorm with rows of bunk beds separated by lockers. The basic inmate profile consists of low threat, shorter term inmates with non-violent pasts. All inmates must have a job whether it be in the kitchen, cleaning the dorms or bathrooms, working in commissary, the library, in education or landscaping - there is always work to be done.
There are a fair amount of activities available like cable television, email service (Corrlinks), weight pile, exercise equipment, basketball, walking/running track, racquetball, group sporting activities - soccer, softball, flag football, movie night, educational courses, great visitation privileges and many other things. If the inmate can get into a daily routine and stay busy - the time will go by pretty fast.
There are female COs. Anytime a male and female can interact there might be some flirtatious moments but if the inmate picks the wrong CO, they will get sent to the SHU for a few months and then transferred. It is definitely forbidden. Does it happen a lot? We would say it doesn't.
If you are worried that your inmate is writing other women, that too is a possibility, just like it could happen if he were not locked up.You have to use your intuition and decide if you trust him or not.
