PER CURIAM:

     Anthony Ikezau Odiana escaped from the Federal Prison Camp in

Petersburg, Virginia, where he was serving a sentence for credit

card fraud. After he was recaptured a year and a half later, he

entered a guilty plea to the escape charge, 18 U.S.C.A. § 751 (West

Supp. 1996), and was sentenced to serve an additional eighteen
months imprisonment. He appeals this sentence, contending that the

district court erred in denying him a 4-level reduction for escape

from a non-secure facility similar to a community corrections

center under USSG § 2P1.1(b)(3). We affirm.
     A 4-level reduction in offense level should be given "if the

defendant escaped from the non-secure custody of a community cor-

rections center, community treatment center, `half-way house,' or

similar facility." USSG § 2P1.1(b)(3). We have previously agreed

with other circuits, however, that federal prison camps are not

facilities which are similar to community corrections centers,
community treatment centers, or halfway houses. See United States
v. Sarno, 24 F.3d 618, 623, n.4 (4th Cir. 1994) (dicta).
     The sentence is affirmed. We dispense with oral argument be-

cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.
