TheFederal Correctional Institution, Fort Dix (FCI Fort Dix) is a low-security United Statesfederal prison for male offenders in New Jersey. It is operated by theFederal Bureau of Prisons. A satellite prison camp houses minimum-security male inmates.

FCI Fort Dix is located in Burlington County on the ASAFort Dix entity of Joint base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. It is approximately 40 miles (64 km) fromPhiladelphia.^[1] The prison is in the Fort Dixcensus-designated place,^[2] and also withinNew Hanover Township, New Jersey.^[3]

Fort Dix is the largest single federal prison in the United States in the number of inmates housed there.^[4]

It is divided up into three compounds: The separate East and West Compounds (both low-level, each constituting a single prison in its own right) and a camp between the two.

In early 2010, a joint FBI and Federal Bureau of Prisons investigation found that Dimorio McDowell (50711-019), an inmate at FCI Fort Dix, was operating a majoridentity theft ring from the prison. Eight co-conspirators, with whom McDowell communicated by telephone, were also arrested. The ring targeted credit cards issued by major chain stores such as Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Staples, Home Depot, Lowes and others. McDowell and his co-conspirators obtained the personal information of credit card holders through customer service departments and added themselves as authorized users. When McDowell's co-conspirators went to make purchases, they showed false identification or provided the last four digits of the cardholder's Social Security number and charged high-end items such as a John Deere tractor, big-screen televisions, snow blowers and stoves. The companies that issued the cards, including Citigroup Financial, HSBC and GE Capital, lost between $500,000 and $1 million.^[5]

McDowell subsequently pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft and conspiracy to commitwire fraud andbank fraud and was sentenced to 14 additional years in prison on January 18, 2011.^[6] McDowell is currently incarcerated at theUnited States Penitentiary inAtlanta, which has aCommunication Management Unit, where inmate contact with the outside world is severely restricted and tightly monitored. He is scheduled for release in 2028.^[7]
