FCI Cumberland allows prisoners to take advantage of the different services the facility has to offer. Offenders are exposed to dental services, mental, health, and social services. These services allow the prison to help inmates when they are in need. The unique design of the prison allows inmates to shower and do other private needs, such as changing, in a way that works to prevent any incidents between inmates occurring. Also to the offender's advantage, there is a 4 cell medical unit where inmates will be housed and observed if they have been sexually assaulted, or need protection if they are at risk to be sexually assaulted.
