The Federal Prison Camp, Bryan (FPC Bryan) is a minimum-security United States federal prison for female inmates in Texas. It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a division of the United States Department of Justice.

FPC Bryan is located 95 miles northwest of Houston.[1]

Facility and inmate life

After the American track star Marion Jones was sentenced to federal prison in 2008, an article was published on BleacherReport.com, a sports website owned by CNN, which named FPC Bryan as one of the prisons Jones might be sent to and detailing life there. The article cited accounts of FPC Bryan provided on Prisontalk.com, a portal used by numerous women who have been in federal prisons.[citation needed] Ultimately, Jones served her sentence at FMC Carswell in Ft. Worth, Texas.

There are between 500-750 women at FPC Bryan at any given time. Of these 750 women only about 200 have a GED or high school diploma, and of those 200 only half have education above high school.
