In some maximum security facilities, you cannot move from one area to another without a pass signed by the C.O. in charge of your area. The pass must be given to the C.O. in charge of the area that you are going to, signed and returned with you when you leave. You go to chow together and enter and exit the dining area at separate points to avoid confrontations. Your time to eat is limited. Serious offenders are also found in camps, having worked their way down from other security levels because of good behavior.
Camps have the look of a college campus or modern retirement home divided into dormitories or wings.
Each wing contains cubicles which make up the living space for 4 campers. Some camps are set up as open dorms, much the same as military barracks. Camps have no fence, gates, watchtowers, walls, bars or guard patrols. Camp inmates have great range of freedom. You are allowed to move about the facility at will without signed passes or hourly movement restrictions.
