Biography
Let's get to the interesting part: I've been to Federal minimum-security prison and nowhere else, in terms of the the U.S. corrections complex. You can find gritty details of harsh prison life, gang politics, violence, drugs, desperation and redemption. Some of it is legit, some is, I'm sure, fabricated or exaggerated. None of it is in my book, "The Light Side of Corrections: Federal Prison Camp."
I don't mean to trivialize the very real trials and even suffering that goes on in an FPC, but I will point out that, at least from my experience and observation, it is not much more hellish than the world outside the gates. Meaning that the problems and hassles one encounters are a consequence of human nature and social interaction, not so much the facilities.
I say this with an afterthought: assuming you don't need healthcare. As one's sentence increases, that is less and less likely to be a valid assumption. Healthcare anywhere in prison is a joke. I have not accounted for it in the book and don't presume to have answers to the interplay of medicine and prisons.
So that's it. My story's in my book. Go read it.

Enjoy while a loosely organized, ramshackle booklet called "The Light Side of Corrections: Federal Prison Camp" chronicles a rumpus through Federal Prison Camp. My experiences are not at all gritty nor particularly enlightening. I can't say the same for other inmates of FPCs, but I try not to speak for them. TLSoC is interesting, good for a chuckle, and surprisingly deep here and there.
