TIffiny Thompson Incarcerated at "Camp Cupcake"

TIFFINY THOMPSON has been incarcerated at Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Alderson and is scheduled for release on December 8, 2016.  She is not eligible
for parole.

As a little background on her current address -
The Federal Prison Camp, Alderson (FPC Alderson) is a minimum-security
federal prison for female inmates and is located in West Virginia.  It is a 159-acre facility.  While there is no barbed wire on the fence surrounding the camp, the prisoners have schedules and each one is required to work.  Inmates get holidays off except those who work in the powerhouse and kitchen.  It focuses on on vocational training and "personal growth experiences", with a craft-shop.  According to the internet, free time is spent walking around the sidewalk that is set between the two dorms as this is within bounds for the inmates.  Since 2004 inmates are no longer free to roam the entire campus and are restricted in areas of
the prison. They also play recreational activities such as volleyball.

Most of the inmates at FPC Alderson have been convicted of non-violent
or white-collar crime. Many are in the drug program and have come from
other prisons to attend the program at Alderson. They sleep in bunk
beds in two large dormitories.  The dormitories hold 500 plus inmates a
piece. Each inmate sleeps in a 5-by-9-foot cinderblock cube inside of this open dormitory.

The prison was nicknamed "Camp Cupcake" by members of the news media
when Martha Stewart was sentenced to a five-month term there.  Local residents have also referred to it as "the college campus."  It was called "Yale" by one-time attendee Martha Stewart.
