Fort Dix is a large federal prison in New Jersey. The prison has three completely separate compounds. Two of those compounds, Fort Dix East and Fort Dix West, are rated as low-security federal correctional institutions. The other prison is a minimum-security federal prison camp. Prison Professor Michael Santos was confined at Fort Dix for eight years, between 1996 and 2003. He writes extensively about his experience at Fort Dix in several of his books, as he had a productive journey there. Michael has also interviewed several people who served time inside of the Federal Prison Camp, Fort Dix. We welcome reviews from others who may serve time in Fort Dix, either the FCI or the federal prison camp.
