Environmental Assessment: Proposed Deactivation and Closure of Federal Prison Camp Eglin Air Force Base, Florida
Abstract
The U.S. Department of Justice, through the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), proposes to deactivate and close the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) located at Eglin Air Force Base, Okaloosa County, Florida, in order to more efficiently and effectively utilize existing minimum security bedspace throughout our system. The BOP is undertaking a broad array of cost reduction measures including the deactivation and closure of several minimum security federal prisons. It is more efficient and cost effective to close this FPC and house the inmates in satellite minimum security work camps that are located adjacent to more secure facilities. Also, the costs associated with its continued maintenance and operation provide additional rationale for considering its deactivation and closure. Projections show the BOP will be able to achieve substantial cost reductions by deactivating and closing this FPC. Cost reductions will be realized as a result of the more efficient use of bedspace available in minimum security work camps that are located adjacent to higher security facilities and by avoiding costs associated with the repairs and upgrades that would be needed in order to continue operating FPC Eglin in a safe and efficient manner. Staff will be absorbed into the personnel complement at existing facilities where vacancies exist.
