ADX Florence

ADX Florence is the first Prison where Timothy McVeigh was incarcerated; this facility is roughly one hundred miles south of Denver Colorado.  The prison received the nickname “the Alcatraz of Colorado in part to its high level of security.  The majority of the facility is above ground and some of the cell blocks are underground.  This prison houses over four hundred inmates that are on lockdown twenty three hours a day; whenever an inmate is out of their cell there is a minimum of three officers that are required to escort the prisoners.  All the furniture in the cells are made of poured cement for safety purposes.  The cells had very small windows that only had a view to the roof of the prison and the sky; the reason was to not let the inmates get familiar with their surroundings. This made it very difficult to plan an escape. The prisoners had a workout area only big enough for one; no inmates can use phones and they are monitored twenty four hours a day.  ADX Florence is has fourteen hundred cameras in the facility along with motion detectors.  Outside the prison it is equipped with twelve foot tall fences and heavily armed guards with silent attack dogs; if the inmates get out of hand in the center of the prison they have the “black Hole’ or Z unit.  It can hold over one hundred prisoners in total darkness with sound proof walls; each cell is equipped with strait jackets and concrete beds.

Milken Will Go to Low-Security Prison Near S.February 22, 1991

# data[].attributes.body
Milken, the subject of one of the most intense white-collar criminal prosecutions in history, has been assigned to a prison camp at the Federal Correctional Institution in Pleasanton, on a military base. It's about 30 miles from where Milken attended college in Berkeley.

Milken is to report to federal custody March 4.

In making the designation, federal officials took the unusual step of rejecting the recommendation made by U.S. District Judge Kimba M. Wood, who last November sentenced Milken to 10 years in prison.

Wood asked the Federal Bureau of Prisons to send Milken to a facility on Nellis Air Force base in Las Vegas, which would have been closer to his home in Encino.
