I looked it up and she did her time in FCI Victorville, which is medium security. I would have thought that she would have been at FCI Dublin.
Just to clarify, I saw more about her stay. FCI Victorville I and II are medium and maximum security prisons for men. But one has a so-called minimum-security "satellite camp" for Women. These are generally where it's a bit more relaxed and there are work opportunities for prisoners, but it's still a prison.
Minimum security institutions, also known as Federal Prison Camps (FPCs), have dormitory housing, a relatively low staff-to-inmate ratio, and limited or no perimeter fencing. These institutions are work- and program-oriented.
A number of BOP institutions have a small, minimum security camp adjacent to the main facility. These camps, often referred to as Satellite Prison Camps (SCPs), provide inmate labor to the main institution and to off-site work programs.
