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]
