Ashland Federal Correctional Institution

Ashland FCI is a low security Federal Correctional Institution located in Ashland Kentucky, part of Boyd County.  Ashland FCI also operates a minimum security satellite camp located adjacent to the main facility.  The main unit houses 1,080 adult male offenders, with the camp housing an additional 252 inmates.  Ashland FCI originally opened in the 1940's and was primarily used to house tax evaders, bootleggers and those who violated postal regulations.  Later the facility became a Federal Youth Center and housed young offenders until the 1970's when the facility was again re-designated to house adult male offenders in a low security setting.

Ashland FCI consists of four cell blocks, two dormitories, a Special Housing Unit, and two General Population Housing Units.  Ashland Satellite Camp is comprised of two large open dormitory housing units.  Outdoor recreation is provided to all offenders and includes an area to walk, run, and areas to play basketball, handball, and softball.  Indoor recreation includes cardiovascular exercise equipment, musical instruments, and a hooby/crafts area.

Inmates at FCI Ashland have access to educational opportunities that include academic classes such as Adult Continuing Education, and GED preparation and testing.  Vocational programs at Ashland FCI includes automotive maintenance, HVAC, Master Gardening, and Welding.  Vocational training provides examination and certification in these areas.  Inmates who work the Master Gardener program (provided through the University of Kentucky) help grow food which is donated to the River City Harvest in Ashland Kentucky.
