"Federal correctional facilities are ominous structures. They are frequently located in remote areas, surrounded by tall concrete walls and barbed wire fences; some are equipped with watch towers. Even as a visitor, entering a federal penitentiary can be an intimidating experience. Names must be provided ahead of time. Electronic devices are prohibited. The reception area is occupied by several correctional officers, detection dogs as well as metal and drug detectors"--Executive summary, page 8.
