It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a division of the United States Department of Justice. FCC Butner is about 45 miles northwest of Raleigh, the state capital. The facility is noted for having Bernie Madoff as one of its inmates, who is convicted for perpetrating the largest ponzi-scheme in history.
