Warden Charles R. Gilkey has announced the minimum-security Federal Prison Camp, Greenville, Illinois, will experience a change in mission to house only female inmates. An exact date for this change has not yet been established, but it is anticipated that it will occur over the next several months. Male camp inmates will be transferred to other Federal facilities before the Greenville Prison Camp receives any female inmates.

This change will effect only the Federal Prison Camp. The Federal Correctional Institution will continue to house male inmates.

The decision was made to convert the Greenville camp to house female inmates because of the need for bed space for female offenders in the North Central Region.
