{{short description|Type of prison operated under the jurisdiction of a federal government}} [[File:Florence ADMAX.jpg|thumb|250px|[[ADX Florence]], a US federal prison]] A '''federal prison''' is operated under the jurisdiction of a [[federal government]] as opposed to a state or provincial body. Federal [[prison]]s are used for people who violated federal law (U.S., Mexico), people considered dangerous (Brazil), or those sentenced to longer terms of imprisonment (Canada). Not all federated countries have a legal concept of "federal prison".{{citation needed|date=March 2017}}
