Administrative United States Penitentiary (AUSP) Thomson (formerly Thomson Correctional Center) is a maximum security prison located just north of Thomson, Illinois. It has an area of about 146 acres (59 ha) and comprises 15 buildings. The facility is enclosed by a 15-foot (4.6 m), 7000 volt electric fence surrounded by an additional 12-foot (3.7 m) exterior fence covered with razor wire. Thomson has eight cellhouses with a rated capacity of 2,100 beds—1,900 high-security SMU beds and 200 minimum-security beds at the onsite camp—and according to BOP officials, the potential to use some of its high-security rated capacity to house up to 400 ADX inmates.[1] However, from its completion in 2001 to 2006, it sat empty.[2] By 2009, only the minimum-security section houses prisoners.[3][4]
In October 2012, the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) purchased Thomson Correctional Center (TCC) from the State of Illinois for $165 million.[1] Initial plans were to transfer inmates from Guantanamo Bay to the facility, a move that was eventually blocked by Congress.
In August 2014, Donald Hudson was named the first warden of the prison.[5] As of 2016, Thompson Correctional Center holds 117 inmates and employs around 250 correctional officers. Both numbers are expected to rise in coming years as planned activation of the facility ongoing.[6][7]
