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 operated by the Arizona Department of Corrections, also on Wilmot Road.[3]
