Talk:Federal Correctional Institution, Terminal Island

Added Edward Morrissey to list of "famous" incarcerated at Terminal Island
I added Edward Morrissey, despite the fact that he himself is not actually famous. The reason I added him to the list is because within the genre of New Thought his wife, Mary Manin Morrissey, became famous. Edward Morrissey pled guilty to crimes that many consider Mary Manin Morrissey also was involved with, and, at any rate, he admitted to using church funds for his own personal expenses and for that of his wife. Living Enrichment Center at its peak had an estimated congregation of 2,000 to 5,000, and a television and radio audience estimated in the millions, and Edward Morrissey pled guilty to playing the main role in the unraveling of the ministry and the still outstanding multi-million-dollar debt of the church. So, in a way, he is a famous, or at least "notable," person who has been incarcerated there. -- Andrew Parodi 06:11, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikiproject Prisons
If anyone's interested, I've proposed a new wikiproject for the creation and improvement of articles regarding specific prisons, internment camps, and detention centers here. --Cdogsimmons (talk) 02:34, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Terminal Island Disciplinary Barracks
Does anybody here know whether FCI,TI is the same facility as "Terminal Island Disciplinary Barracks"? The latter name is listed in numerous sources as the place where the Port Chicago 50 served for a little over year after being convicted of mutiny by the US Navy. If these are two separate facilities, if the Navy runs their own prison barracks on the island, I'll take out mention of the 50. Binksternet (talk) 05:07, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Proposal
I'd like to make the Notable Inmates section more concise and add more detail about the facility. MDEVER802 (talk) 06:11, 23 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Good idea. What source will you use, one with more detail? Binksternet (talk) 14:14, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm going to use the Bureau of Prisons Admissions handbook for the facility and search for news sources regarding notable incidents about the facility. MDEVER802 (talk) 23:01, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

U.S. Naval Disciplinary Barracks, Terminal Island is the same FCI Terminal Island. From 1942 to 1950 the correctional facility was a Navy brig operated by U.S. Marines. I have no knowledge if the Terminal Island Naval Disciplinary Barracks was a "red line brig" or not, but it most likely was.

Early History:

!938-1941 Terminal Island Federal Prison

1942-1950 U.S. Naval Disciplinary Barracks, Terminal Island.

1950-1955 California Department of Corrections medical facility.

1955-present U.S. Burial of Prisons FCI.

>" The first prisoners, 610 men and 40 women, filed into the new 21-acre federal prison near the southern end of Terminal Island on June 1, 1938.

The Terminal Island Federal Correctional Institution consisted of three cell blocks built around a central quadrangle, and cost $2 million to build.

In 1942, the U.S. Navy took control of the prison for use as a receiving station, and then as a barracks for court-martialed prisoners.

After the Navy deactivated the facility in 1950, the state of California took it over for use as a medical and psychiatric institution.

The state ceded control to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons in 1955, which converted the facility back into a low-to-medium security federal prison."< http://blogs.dailybreeze.com/history/2010/08/25/the-terminal-island-federal/

history?
Anyone have a source on the facility's history? When was it established? The list of inmates on this page goes back to 1939, so I guess sometime before then. --Delirium (talk) 05:45, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
