minimum security prison
Relaxed incarceration center
A minimum security prison is a correctional facility with the least restrictive conditions, housing inmates considered low risk—typically nonviolent offenders nearing release.
These facilities often lack high walls or armed guards, and inmates may have more freedom of movement, access to work programs, and contact with the outside world.
Also called a minimum security facility or, informally, a Club Fed when referring to federal prisons housing white-collar criminals.
