The Federal Correctional Institution (FCI), Allenwood Low is a low-security United States federal prison for male inmates in Pennsylvania. It is part of the Allenwood Federal Correctional Complex (FCC Allenwood) and is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a division of the United States Department of Justice.

The complex consists of two facilities:

  • Federal Correctional Institution, Allenwood Low (FCI Allenwood Low): a low-security facility.
  • Federal Correctional Institution, Allenwood Medium (FCI Allenwood Medium): a medium-security facility.
  • FCC Allenwood is located 75 miles north of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the state capital just west of US Route 15.

    Notable incidents

    In February 2013, Fred Hagenbuch, 52, a former correction officer at the United States Penitentiary, Lewisburg, a high-security prison also located in Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty to a charge of theft of government property for stealing items from FCC Allenwood.
