The BOP has concluded that the federal prison camp in Pensacola, Florida, will be permanently deactivated due to its poor condition and operational inefficiencies. Following an environmental assessment under NEPA and related statutes, it was determined there would be no significant environmental impact from this closure.
The facility, largely built in the 1980s and 1990s, has ceased operations, with inmates and staff reassigned. Only one relevant public comment was received, from The Muscogee Nation, affirming no adverse effects if no ground disturbance occurs.
Future actions involving ground disturbance will require consultation with the Nation. The property will be returned to the U.S. Navy after closure, maintaining compliance with federal regulations.
