Any ex-cons in here who can discuss the differences between federal and state prison?

If you go to prison you want to go to a Fed prison. Some of them are like college campuses. In fact, Yankton prison used to be a college.
The security levels vary. You could be in a camp which has basically no security, to medium and then max. And then Supermax in Colorado.
The Supermax is the one where they spend all day every day for life in isolation basically. That's where people like the Unabomber and Zacharias Moussaui (sp?) are.
The only thing with being a Fed inmate is there's no parole, so you basically do what they sentence you to. Minus a very small amount for good behavior or completing a drug program.
