As of 2005, CCA contracted with the Alaska Department of Corrections to keep more than 30% of the state's inmates in FCC. Many of these Alaskans were detainees awaiting trial.[2]
In 2016, the FCC houses inmates for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, for the Vermont Department of Corrections, and for the United States Marshals Service.[3]
The prison is one of several state, federal and private prisons in Florence.
