What are the conditions in USP Canaan

USP stands for United States Penitentiary. By definition, it is for maximum security inmates which means that all movement is controlled by the guards for set periods of time. There are one or two man cells. There are not near as many personal freedoms as you would find in the lower custody facilities. But, even in these strict, hard conditions the inmates seem to figure out the hierarchy of things and it truns into a little village where everyone just does their thing. Like in any environment, two people can create conflict and this does happen. Our advice is to not watch the TV programs about prison as they will edit out the harmony and highlight the drama, The FBOP is the most well-trained of all the detention systems, the best funded and for what it is, the inmates are going to be treated as well as could be expected.
