Материал из Онлайн справочника
Federal Prison Camp, Eglin was a Federal Bureau of Prisons minimum security prison at Auxiliary Field 6, Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.[1]
Lacey Rose of Forbes wrote that it "was once considered so cushy that the term "Club Fed" was actually coined to describe it."[2]
By 2006 the federal government decided to cut costs by closing Eglin and returning the buildings to the Air Force. The prisoners were moved to Federal Prison Camp, Pensacola.[3]
Notable inmates
The five Watergate burglars - Bernard Barker, Virgilio Gonzalez, Eugenio Martínez, James W. McCord Jr., and Frank Sturgis - were inmates at Eglin.[4]
