Does anyone have any knowledge of Devens in Ayer Mass, or Elkton in Lisbon, Ohio? My son is probably going to go to one of these facilities when he is done in Montana. I do know that Devens is an FMC, Elkton is an FCI.
My son was hoping for Butner in North Carolina, but apparently they don't offer the court mandated counseling.
Thank you for your time.

Devens is not a bad place, according to several inmates serving time there. There are quite a few young men with sex charges there, so it should be a relatively safe prison for him to do his time.
Very few fights there and a lot of CP defendants. I think there is a sex offender treatment program there also.
In fact, I read somewhere that Devens is becoming one of the major prisons for SOs. This is good as it makes it safer for your son.
Here is a link to its web site. From that site you can access the Inmate Orientation Handbook, how to send money, and visitation rules-----

It specializes as a medical center also, so that should be good for your son.
Elkton also houses a lot of sex offenders and it has a relaxed environment. I could not find out a lot specific for Elkton except that it was one of the better federal prisons.
Here is a link to some information about Elkton----

Here was my source of information for both prisons. You might browse around and get some more detailed opinions, but the ones I read were favorable.

Hope this helps. If I can be of any more help, do not hesitate to message me.

Devens is an Administrative Security Prison, this means anyone can be housed there. It runs like a medium, it has 4 dorm units and 2 units that have cells. There is also a hospital unit and a psych unit.
Food was above average. Winters can be bad with snow. I no of a handful of fights and 1 incident of sexual violence.
Overall, I am glad that since I had to do some time, that I did it there.
Hank, Thank you for your reply. I am assuming the SOTP is the treatment program? Never even thought about Fort Dix, New Jersey is a 6 hour drive (without traffic) so I guess it could be worse, he was hoping for Butner because he heard it was a good medical facility and that's an almost 10 hour drive and from what I have been able to find out, they do not offer a "treatment program".
