The prison in Connecticut where Bannon will live houses a large number of white-collar criminals, but it also may house violent and sex offenders in its mens population.
It doesnt have cells, and instead houses its inmates in open pods. Yet it does have a noticeable barrier referred to colloquially as the wall between the prison facility and the outside world, which prison camps dont have.
More than 1,000 male prisoners are in the Danbury facility. Its much smaller adjacent prison camp for women was immortalized in a former prisoners memoir that inspired the TV show Orange is the New Black.
Rikers Island possibility
Bannon could still potentially face rougher prison environments. He may need to be held in a facility in New York City, such as the infamous Rikers Island jail, during his state trial proceedings if it takes place while he is still serving his federal sentence, one of the sources said.
