FCI – Medium Security Federal Correctional Institution This is the second-lowest level of security in the federal system. These institutions are real prisons, but not maximum-security facilities. FCIs have fences, controlled movement, and stricter rules than FPCs, but still focus on rehabilitation and structure. People in FCIs have committed more serious crimes or have longer sentences than those in camps, but they are not considered the most dangerous.

Inmates in FCIs are often convicted of non-violent or moderately violent crimes, or drug and financial offenses with greater scale or impact. Some may have past criminal history, but not extreme or recent violent behavior.

The main criteria are: moderate or long sentence, moderate risk to society, possible past offenses, no history of extreme violence or terrorism.

Typical crimes for which you go to an FCI: Drug trafficking (larger scale or second offense, not linked to major cartel activity).

Wire fraud or securities fraud (larger amount or repeat offense).

Money laundering (on a broader or organized scale).

Weapons possession (without discharge or use in violent crime).

Organized credit card fraud, hacking, or cybercrime.

Tax evasion involving large sums or government agencies.

Embezzlement (larger scale or involving multiple victims).

Forgery or counterfeiting (more severe than in FPC cases).

Extortion or bribery with greater societal harm.

Repeat offenses of crimes otherwise eligible for FPC.

Racketeering, if not involving direct violence.

Perjury or obstruction in significant federal cases.
