The Lompoc Federal Correctional Complex (FCC) is a complex with four United States federal prisons located near Lompoc, Santa Barbara County, California. The facility is located 60 miles northwest of Santa Barbara, adjacent to Vandenberg Air Force Base.
FCC Lompoc comprises four facilities: Federal Correctional Institution, Lompoc, a low security Federal Correctional Institution housing male inmates; and United States Penitentiary, Lompoc, now a medium security facility housing male inmates. There are two minimum security prison camps that also house adult male inmates. One is a Federal Prison Camp, the other is a Residential Drug Abuse Treatment Camp. [1]
The Medium security complex also contains a maximum security wing constructed in 2006 known as the "SHU" or "Special Housing Unit". Inmates in the SHU remain in their cells 24/7 as the cells are equipped with showers. Inmates may be placed in the SHU as a disciplinary measure or for administrative reasons. Treatment of inmates in the SHU is comparable to that found at ADMAX facilities elsewhere.
