A dynamic trio of officials from the largest federal correctional institution in the U.S. - FCI Ft. Dix - told our Rotary Club on November 8 that rehabilitation of the inmates and security of the surrounding community and the facility are top priorities. Warden Rachel Thompson noted that only 10 percent of the inmates are serving life sentences and the rest will be returning to society, making programs to prepare them for reentry critical. “If we don’t do our jobs, we’re doing the community an injustice,” she said. FCI Fort Dix is a low security federal correctional institution for male offenders with an adjacent minimum security satellite camp located at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. They have 4,100 incarcerated individuals. |
