	More on Federal Prison
		Prisons conventionally are institutions authorised by governments and forming part of a country's criminal justice system, or as facilities for holding prisoners of war.
		Individuals may also be committed to prison by a court before a trial, verdict or sentence, generally because the court determines that there is a risk to society or a risk of absconding prior to a trial.
		Prisons form part of military systems, and are used variously to house prisoners of war, enemy combatants, and those whose freedom is deemed a risk by military authorities.

	Prisoners’ Rights: What you can and can’t do in prison? - LegalZoom.com
		While inadequate space and resources for prisoners is arguably cruel and unusual in and of itself, the abuses that occur in these overcrowded prisons have been ruled unconstitutional in several jurisdictions, including by the Supreme Court.

	washingtonpost.com: Stewart Begins Prison Term
		ALDERSON, W. Va., Oct. 8 -- Martha Stewart slipped into Alderson federal prison camp before dawn Friday morning, eluding many of the camera crews who had staked out the remote rural facility hoping for a glimpse of the multimillionaire businesswoman as she began serving a five-month sentence.
		It was converted to a minimum-security prison camp in 1988, and now houses about 1,040 women, primarily drug offenders and women convicted of white-collar offenses such as fraud.
		Stewart may miss that court date, however, because federal prisoners are not guaranteed the right to attend appeals court hearings.
