The **Federal Correctional Complex, Tucson (FCC Tucson)** is a United States [federal prison](/source/Federal_prison) complex for male inmates in Arizona. It is operated by the [Federal Bureau of Prisons](/source/Federal_Bureau_of_Prisons), a division of the [United States Department of Justice](/source/United_States_Department_of_Justice).

The complex consists of two facilities:

- [Federal Correctional Institution, Tucson](/source/Federal_Correctional_Institution%2C_Tucson) (FCI Tucson): a medium-security facility.

- [United States Penitentiary, Tucson](/source/United_States_Penitentiary%2C_Tucson) (USP Tucson): a high-security facility with a satellite prison camp for minimum-security inmates.

## History and facility

About 520 employees are required to staff the entire federal complex with additional labor provided by the minimum-security camp.[1] The opening of the U.S. Penitentiary in February 2007 worsened a local shortage of prison officers,[2] drawing some staff away from the nearby [state prison complex](/source/Arizona_State_Prison_Complex_-_Tucson) operated by the [Arizona Department of Corrections](/source/Arizona_Department_of_Corrections), also on Wilmot Road.[3]
