6 of Danbury FCI’s Most Famous Prisoners
If I had my say, half of all TV shows and movies would delve into prison and life behind bars. I'm captivated by these programs, but even more intriguing are the true stories of prison life.

We recently interviewed officials from Danbury FCI regarding the arrival of their latest notable inmate, Steve Bannon. During our discussion, we explored the theme of celebrity at the federal institution in Hat City and discovered that Bannon is among a series of high-profile individuals who have served time at this facility. Here are six of the most famous prisoners to ever do time at Danbury FCI.

- Shot Caller
- 60 Days In
- Orange is the New Black
- Wentworth
- The Green Mile
- The Rock
- Cool Hand Luke
- Sleepers

I put these in no particular order except to say Shawshank Redemption is #1 and there is not a close 2nd.
