What are the supermax facilities in the United States?


Each state has their own supermax facilities, but larger systems, such as California and Texas, have more than one supermax.

Pelican Bay in California, seen in this video, is an example of a state supermax, however half of their inmates live in a general population setting. The most infamous and hightest-security supermax in the federal prison system is Florence ADX, home of some of America’s most notorious criminals, past and present.
