  • On October 29, 1986, the Federal Bureau of Prisons opened the first female High Security Unit (HSU) at the Federal Correctional Institution, Lexington, Kentucky. The mission of the Lexington HSU was to control and isolate women prisoners who posed a political threat to the United States or who were considered to be highly disruptive or an escape threat within the federal prison system.
