UNICOR Was Down At Herlong Camp
Update 10/14/25: I had a hard time convincing people that I don’t see how this prison made money from our labor. I didn’t dismiss it. I just couldn’t see it based on my experience. Inmates are required to get jobs while in prison. They are paid various and competitive wages just as if they are
My Dentist Experience At Herlong Prison Camp
Update 10/16/25: I still have nightmares about this dentist visit. It was so impersonal and painful. Part of the prison care system allows inmates to receive healthcare.

What Are The Showers Like At Herlong Prison Camp?
Update 10/16/25: We had semi-private showers. It wasn’t that bad actually. No other people were in the shower with me–ever!

Most people think that the showers in jail are large community showers where CO’s and other inmates intimately watch
Beware Of Snitches At Herlong Prison Camp
Update 10/16/25: You have to mind your own business in prison camp.

The outside community
Leather Craft Changes at Federal Prison Camp, Herlong

Herlong Prison Camp Institution Supplement Booklet
Update 10/18/25: This is one of many booklets that inmates received at prison camp.

Visitor Information Form and Additional Visiting Information
Inmate Rules For Visitations SEPTEMBER 20, 2011 In a previous post I talked about the rewards of having family visit. I also discussed how important it was for visiting family to read over the rules and regulations before visiting so as not to waste time.

Inmate Direct and Prepaid Calling Rates
Staying in touch with loved ones can be challenging when you’re away at prison camp or prison. There are no cell phones allowed and if you’re caught with one then you most likely will receive a shot (disciplinary action). The phones that are available cost money and inmates aren’t the ones that pay the bill.
Federal Prison Camp’s Weekly Meal Menus at Herlong FPC
Update 10/12/25: I’m still not sure how I lived off that food. I mean, it wasn’t too bad. But the food at home was so much better. According to TV, prison food always looks like slop from a pig trough that’s ladled into a bowl or plate. It’s the lumpiest looking goop you’ve ever seen.

Update 10/18/25: So I broke down what Herlong Prison Camp is and how it made me feel. Introduction I don’t consider myself to be a professional on the subject of anything prison related.
