The United States Penitentiary, Lompoc (USP Lompoc), situated in California's Lompoc city, functions as a low-security federal prison solely housing male inmates. As part of the Lompoc Federal Correctional Complex (FCC Lompoc) operated by the BOP under the DOJ, the facility also encompasses two additional satellite prison camps for minimum-security male offenders. Previously, it served as a military disciplinary barracks on Camp Cooke.

USP Lompoc is geographically situated within the city limits, placing it 175 miles northwest of Los Angeles and adjacent to Vandenberg Air Force Base. The low-security complex incorporates a designated high-security wing known as the "SHU" or "Special Housing Unit" for disciplinary actions or administrative purposes.

Inmates at USP Lompoc are required to actively participate in either work assignments or educational programs. Work options encompass diverse areas such as food service (cooks, bakers, butchers), mechanical services (electricians, plumbers, carpenters), educational and recreational services (librarians, clerks, tutors), laundry, and general unit maintenance. The penitentiary also operates a farm, providing additional opportunities for inmates to gain work experience.

Educational programs prioritize addressing various needs and interests. Inmates have the chance to pursue a GED or acquire English language skills through ESL classes. Beyond foundational education, USP Lompoc offers Adult Continuing Education (ACE) courses, post-secondary programs, parenting classes, vocational training opportunities, apprenticeships, and essential preparation programs for release.

Healthcare services at USP Lompoc are comprehensive. Inmates receive routine checkups, urgent care, dental care, and age-appropriate preventive measures to promote overall health and well-being. A triage system is implemented for evaluating non-emergency medical requests. Mental health services address various needs through assessments, individual and group therapy sessions, and substance abuse treatment programs encompassing drug education classes, self-help resources, and support groups.

Inmates have access to both leisure and legal libraries. The leisure library boasts a vast collection of reading materials, including magazines, newspapers, fiction, non-fiction, and reference books. The legal library provides essential resources and facilitates the preparation of legal documents through access to the TRULINCS Electronic Law Library. Additionally, a copying machine allows inmates to reproduce necessary research materials, and electric typewriters are available for their use.

Inmates are allocated a monthly spending limit at the prison commissary, allowing them to purchase various approved items once a week on their designated shopping day. Importantly, expenses for copy cards, postage stamps, and over-the-counter medications do not count towards this spending limit.
