Federal Prison Camp, Bryan
The Federal Prison Camp, Bryan (FPC Bryan) is a minimum-security United States federal prison facility exclusively for female inmates, operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons and located in Bryan, Texas, approximately 100 miles northwest of Houston.[1][2]
Established in 1989, it houses non-violent offenders, primarily those convicted of white-collar crimes, in dormitory-style accommodations without perimeter fencing, emphasizing rehabilitation through work assignments, educational programs, and vocational training.[2][3][4]
With a capacity of around 635 beds and a typical population exceeding 500, the camp maintains a low-security environment where unarmed guards oversee inmates eligible for community-based work release and other reentry initiatives.[5][4][6]
Known informally as "Camp Cupcake" for its relatively lenient conditions compared to higher-security prisons, FPC Bryan has incarcerated high-profile individuals such as Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and Ghislaine Maxwell, highlighting its role in confining select non-violent female offenders.[3][7][8]
