This is a good question. I did Googling. Here is what I found:

From the US Federal Bureau of Prisons: https://www.bop.gov/about/facilities/federal_prisons.jsp

    > Minimum security institutions, also known as Federal Prison Camps (FPCs), have dormitory housing, a relatively low staff-to-inmate ratio, and limited or no perimeter fencing. These institutions are work- and program-oriented.
The Elizabeth Holmes Wiki page says she is staying here: Federal Prison Camp, Bryan (Texas).

Check out this Wiki quote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Prison_Camp,_Bryan

    > FPC Bryan along with FPC Lewisburg and FPC Lompoc have the lowest security rating of all the federal institutions, other than community corrections centers as those are known as halfway houses. Due to the low classification, most of these facilities have no fence and a low staff-to-inmate ratio.
No fence!

Oh, it looks like Ghislaine Maxwell (of Jeffrey Epstein fame/infamy) is also staying there.
