FCI Marianna, located in Marianna, Florida, is a federal correctional institution managed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. This page provides essential information for those seeking details about inmate services, visitation guidelines, and facility contact information.

FCI Marianna, along with its satellite camp, commenced operations in 1988 to incarcerate 1250 male and female offenders (100 in the FCI, 250 in the Camp). Situated in the Florida panhandle, approximately 65 miles west of Tallahassee and 5 miles north of Marianna town, next door to the Marianna Municipal Airport. The facility serves as a Sex Offender Management Program (SOMP) facility. The primary institution, located off Highway 167, accommodates inmates in two-person cells.

Health services at FCI Marianna encompass a wide array of provisions. These include medical sick call facilities, emergency medical care available around the clock, physical examinations, immunizations, dental care, and access to medications through the pharmacy. Furthermore, the facility arranges for specialized medical procedures such as mammograms, MRIs, and CT scans at local community facilities when required.

Women in prison are often the primary or sole caregivers of children before incarceration. For offenders who will give birth during their incarceration, there are two programs offered to assist these mothers before, during, and after childbirth; these include Mothers and Infants Together (MINT) and the Residential Parenting Program (RPP). The Program Statement, Female Offender Manual, is the agency's primary policy addressing the management of incarcerated women. The agency also issued an Operations Memorandum requiring all female sites to provide five types of feminine hygiene products to inmates free of charge.

Psychological services are also an integral part of the institution's offerings. FCI Marianna provides intake screenings, crisis intervention, individual and group counseling sessions, along anger management programs. Additionally, it facilitates a Non-Residential Sex Offender Treatment Program (SOTP-NR) aimed at addressing the specific needs of this population. The camp at Marianna also offers the STAGES Program, catering to inmates with severe mental illnesses and personality disorders.

For inmates grappling with substance abuse issues, FCI Marianna Camp provides a Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP) exclusively for male inmates. This program's completion grants an inmate a full year off of their federal sentence. The FCI however, only offers a Non-Residential Drug Abuse Program (NR-DAP), a Drug Education Course, and support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Education is a cornerstone of the rehabilitation efforts at FCI Marianna. The institution offers a range of educational programs, including literacy, GED, and English as a Second Language (ESL) courses. GED classes are available in both English and Spanish. Furthermore, Adult Continuing Education (ACE) classes cover diverse topics such as parenting, financial management, conversational Spanish, health education, career planning, career counseling, and basic study skills. High school diplomas and post-secondary programs are also accessible through paid correspondence programs.

Advanced occupational education is another avenue for skill development provided by FCI Marianna. The institution offers programs in K-9 training, Business Foundations, Electrical Helper, Refrigerant Certification, and various vocational tracks at the camp, including Building Maintenance, Cosmetology, Culinary Arts, Lube Technician, Mechanic Technician, Safety Technician, Horticulture, Building and Trades Core, and Plumbing Helper.

In addition to advanced occupational education, FCI Marianna Camp offers apprenticeship opportunities in HVAC, HVAC Helper, Electrician, and Plumbing fields. These programs aim to equip inmates with practical skills and certifications that enhance their employability upon release.

Both institutions house a leisure library and a law library for inmate use. The leisure library provides access to fiction and nonfiction books, newspapers, and magazines, while the law library offers resources such as the TRULINCS Electronic Law Library, typewriters, and a copy machine.

UNICOR, a key component of FCI Marianna, is responsible for managing recycling activities and services within the facility. This includes the recycling of computers and other electronic devices, though it has faced legal challenges due to alleged health hazards associated with the recycling process.

The commissary at FCI Marianna allows inmates to purchase various items up to a designated monthly spending limit. While over-the-counter medications, telephone credits, and postage stamps do not count against this limit, inmates can spend up to $360.00 per month on their designated weekly shopping day. Funds are managed through a trust fund account, with accumulated earnings and external funds available for withdrawal upon release or for approved purposes during incarceration. Here is a list and prices of items sold at the commissary in FCI Marianna.

The gym and leisure center are open during operational hours, with any changes in schedule posted on inmate bulletin boards within the housing units.

Frequently Asked Questions

Federal Prisons – FAQs

  1. What is a federal prison?
      A federal prison is a correctional facility operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to house individuals convicted of federal crimes. These offenses include drug trafficking across state lines, white-collar crimes, terrorism, bank robbery, and other federal violations. Unlike state prisons, federal prisons operate under standardized regulations and typically have more structured programming.

  2. How do federal prisons differ from state prisons?
      Federal prisons are managed by the BOP and house inmates convicted of violating federal laws, while state prisons house those convicted of state crimes. Federal facilities tend to have more uniform security classifications and rehabilitation programs, while state prisons vary by jurisdiction. Additionally, federal inmates often serve longer sentences with less opportunity for parole, as federal sentencing guidelines are stricter.

  3. What are the security levels in federal prisons?
      The BOP classifies federal prisons into five security levels:

    • Minimum (Federal Prison Camps - FPCs): Low-risk inmates with non-violent offenses, dormitory-style housing, and little supervision.
    • Low (FCIs - Low): More security than camps, with fences, dorm-style housing, and work programs.
    • Medium (FCIs - Medium): Higher security, cell housing, increased staff monitoring, and more restricted movement.
    • High (United States Penitentiaries - USPs): Maximum security, with high walls, armed guards, and strict inmate movement restrictions.
    • Administrative Facilities (ADX, MCC, MDC, FMCs): Used for medical care, high-risk inmates, or those requiring extreme isolation (e.g., ADX Florence Supermax).
  4. What is ADX Florence, and why is it considered the most secure prison?
    ADX Florence, also known as the “Alcatraz of the Rockies,” is a supermax facility in Colorado that houses the most dangerous federal inmates, including terrorists and high-profile criminals. It has 23-hour solitary confinement, soundproof cells, and minimal human interaction to prevent escapes or inmate violence.

  5. Can federal inmates earn early release?
      Federal inmates can reduce their sentences through good conduct time (GCT), participation in rehabilitation programs, and the First Step Act. However, unlike state prisons, parole was eliminated from the federal system in 1987, meaning inmates must serve at least 85% of their sentence before being released on supervised release.

  6. How do phone calls work in federal prisons?
      Federal inmates can make outgoing calls only to approved numbers using the Corrlincs system, managed by providers such as GTL (ViaPath) and Securus or the BOP itself. Calls are limited to 15 minutes per call and 300 minutes per month, with costs varying between $0.06 to $0.21 per minute depending on the location. Using a LOCAL number gets the six-cents-per-minute rate. Get a local number from InmateAId for only $5.00. All calls are monitored and recorded, except for attorney-client calls.

  7. Can federal inmates send and receive mail?
      Yes, inmates can send and receive mail, but all non-legal mail is screened for contraband. Books, magazines, and newspapers must be shipped directly from an approved vendor like Amazon or InmateAid. Legal mail is not read but may be inspected in the presence of the inmate.

  8. What are the visitation rules for federal prisons?
      Visitation is allowed, but visitors must be pre-approved and follow strict guidelines, including dress codes, behavioral rules, and security screenings. Some institutions offer non-contact visits (separated by glass), while others allow contact visits with limited physical interaction. Visits can be terminated if rules are violated.

  9. How do family members send money to federal inmates?
      Funds can be deposited into an inmate’s account using Western Union, MoneyGram, or the BOP’s online deposit system called Trulincs. Family members can also send postal money orders to the Federal Bureau of Prisons centralized processing facility in Des Moines, Iowa.

  10. Do federal prisons provide healthcare?
      Yes, federal prisons provide basic medical, dental, and mental health care, with certain facilities designated for serious medical conditions (FMCs – Federal Medical Centers). Emergency treatment may require transfer to an outside hospital, and some medications are restricted based on security concerns.

  11. Do federal inmates have access to education and work programs?
      Yes, federal prisons offer GED programs, college correspondence courses, and vocational training. Inmates can work through UNICOR (Federal Prison Industries), earning $0.12 to $1.15 per hour for jobs in textiles, manufacturing, or recycling. Participation in these programs can also help reduce sentence time under the First Step Act.

  12. What happens if an inmate breaks the rules in a federal prison?
      Disciplinary actions range from loss of privileges (phone, commissary, visitation) to solitary confinement (SHU - Special Housing Unit). More serious infractions can lead to criminal charges or additional prison time.

  13. Can federal inmates transfer to a different facility?
      Transfers can happen for security reasons, medical needs, overcrowding, or disciplinary actions. Inmates may also request a transfer closer to family, but approval depends on the BOP’s evaluation.

  14. What kind of food do federal inmates receive?
      Federal prisons follow National Menu guidelines, providing three meals per day, including vegetarian and religious dietary options. Some facilities allow inmates to purchase snacks and specialty foods from the commissary.

  15. Can federal inmates own personal property?
      Inmates are allowed limited personal items such as eyeglasses, religious materials, and authorized hygiene products. Commissary purchases may include headphones, radios, and writing supplies.

  16. Do federal inmates have internet access?
      No, federal inmates do not have direct internet access. However, they can use Trulincs, a secure email system, to communicate with approved contacts. Emails are monitored and cost approximately $0.05 per minute of usage time.

  17. Are federal prisons overcrowded?
      Many federal prisons operate above capacity, leading to shared cells, increased inmate tensions, and limited access to rehabilitation programs. Overcrowding is a major concern, prompting calls for criminal justice reform and alternative sentencing.

  18. What happens when a federal inmate is released?
      Inmates are usually transferred to a halfway house or placed on supervised release to help reintegrate into society. They may receive job placement assistance, housing referrals, and continued mental health treatment if needed.

  19. Can federal inmates vote?
      No, federal inmates cannot vote while incarcerated. However, voting rights may be restored after release, depending on the state’s policies regarding felon disenfranchisement.
