Hearing the word “prison,” many people will automatically envision a 2×5 cell, a lack of essential items, no privacy, and armed guards. However, this is not the case for some of the prisons in the United States. Take a look at some of the luxuries offered at the following correctional institutions:
- Butner Federal Correctional Institution (NC)
Currently holding the American fraudster, Bernie Madoff, FCI Butner is a minimum security federal correctional institution with just over 1,000 inmates.
