Oxford at a glance

Oxford is a low-security federal prison for men in Oxford, Wisconsin. The 2025 audit lists the prison and a camp, but the camp had no one in it, and the 2025 visiting rules removed the camp visiting rules. The handbook is from 2022, so use it as a guide and not as today's rules.
