Tucson is a dropout joint last I heard. All the gang dropouts, sex offenders, all the people that can't walk a main line to to dropout joints.
Not surprised he got stuck, even at a dropout joint.
Am surprised they let him out on any line, but I guess he thought he could handle it... oops
There are three levels of FCI's... medium, low, and camp.
Medium level is mostly people that don't have life sentences or really high football numbers, and are a step-down joint for USP's... they aren't a cakewalk by any means. A lot of people at medium joints are people that have served enough time at USP's so that their custody points drop over time.
That being said, Tucson is a dropout joint. So that's the safest spot for an ex-cop anywhere.
David Mack, of Rampart fame, thought he was tough enough to walk a main line at a normal medium high level. Now, he was pretty tough, but there were 20 or 30 Sureños that wanted some get back, and, needless to say, he didn't do so good. He got jumped on and stabbed, fought back, but man, he couldn't win. Apparently he took a couple of puncture wounds and etcetera, and went to a dropout joint after.
Medium stands for medium high. Then low security, then prison camps. There's lots of violence at medium joints... as Chauvin had now found out
