The Federal Correctional Institution, Loretto (FCI Loretto) is a low-security United States federal prison for male inmates in Pennsylvania. An adjacent satellite prison camp houses minimum-security male offenders. It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a division of the United States Department of Justice.

FCI Loretto is located in southwest Pennsylvania between Altoona and Johnstown, 90 miles (140 km) east of Pittsburgh.[1]

History

FCI Loretto was constructed in 1985 on land which was occupied by St. Francis Seminary from the late 1950s to 1979. Fifteen inmates from the federal prison camp at Allenwood, Pennsylvania, assisted in the construction. These inmates included a US Representative involved in the ABSCAM scandal.

Notable incidents

In December 2012, the New York Post and several other media sources reported that Cameron Douglas, the son of film actor Michael Douglas, had suffered a broken leg after being assaulted at the prison. Cameron Douglas is serving a 9-year sentence for drug trafficking. It was reported that an unnamed high-ranking Mafia figure had placed a $100 bounty on him for agreeing to testify against his suppliers, brothers David and Eduardo Escalera.[2] Douglas was later transferred to the Federal Correctional Institution, Cumberland, a medium-security facility in Maryland.

Facility

FCI Loretto has educational opportunities and a drug-abuse treatment program.[3]
