The Federal Correctional Complex, Hazelton sits in Bruceton Mills, in Preston County, West Virginia, and brings together three physically adjacent but administratively separate federal prisons on one property. The high-security USP Hazelton was the first to open, in 2004, giving the complex its start, and it was later joined in 2015 by the medium-security FCI Hazelton and a Secure Female Facility, rounding the site out into a full complex covering multiple security levels and both men's and women's populations. Combined population across the complex runs into the thousands, making it one of the more significant federal correctional hubs in the region. USP Hazelton in particular has drawn national media attention over the years, including high-profile violent incidents, and inmates have reportedly nicknamed the high-security side "Misery Mountain." Because the complex houses several distinct institutions under one name, families should be careful to confirm exactly which unit — the USP, the FCI, or the female facility — a loved one is designated to, since conditions, security levels, and visiting rules differ meaningfully between them despite sharing the same rural mountain location in north-central West Virginia.
