		ADX Florence is designed so that one guard can control the movements of numerous prisoners in several cell blocks by way of electronic doors, cameras and audio equipment.
		ADX Florence has technologically perfected the Marion tradition of behavior modification.
		In a move reminiscent of the toxic water used to poison prisoners at Marion, the BOP picked an area of Florence that may be equally detrimental for the prisoners' health.

		On 4 December 2003 I was admitted to the population of prisoners at the Federal Prison Camp, Florence (FPC Florence).
		My first job assignment at FPC Florence was at the nearby supermax prison known as ADX Florence, so now I have served time in federal prisons of every security level.
		FPC Florence may be the first minimum-security camp in which I have served time, but I have interviewed hundreds of other prisoners over the course of my confinement.

	KRT Wire \| 12/13/2006 \| Town shrugs off concerns about Supermax prison
		Although it was once taken as an article of faith that Supermax - one of four federal prisons at the complex and officially known as ADX Florence - is as secure as anyplace on Earth, some aren't so sure now.
		Despite the clamor, many in Florence are against the idea of a fence, as an unnecessary blight that would only draw attention to the massive federal prison.
		Prison spokeswoman Krista Rear, responding to questions in writing, said, "While a perimeter fence around the several buildings that comprise the Florence complex would enhance security, other measures can be taken in lieu of or in addition to the fence that would also assist in limiting access to the property." She did not elaborate.

	Letters from Florence Prisoners
		One of the things that makes ADX-Florence, the idea of Florence as a full-time Control Unit, so vicious, so threatening to individual and collective liberties, is that its purpose is court-approved and its design is pimped by the federal BOP as something to be emulated.
		I'm in Florence because I escaped, which is the crime that the Bureau of Prisons views as being the worse crime there is, thus, I'm hated here by staff members.
		The media was correct when they said that the Florence ADX prison would house the "worst of the worst." They forgot to mention that they meant the staffers (some of them).
