DailyPBO: The President & The Federal Correctional Facility Visit – July 2015 

“Three full-grown men in a 9-by-10 cell,” Obama said, as he looked at the cell’s meager furnishings, among them a toilet, sink, bunk bed and a third bed placed against a wall. “Overcrowding like that is something that has to be addressed.”

For the first time in our nation’s history, a sitting president visited a Federal prison. President Obama toured the El Reno Federal Correctional Institution in Oklahoma, spoke with prison officials and had a sit-down with some inmates.
