History
USP Marion was built and opened in 1963 to replace the maximum security federal prison on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco, which closed the same year.{{cite web |url=http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/~kastor/ceml_articles/cu_in_us.html |title=Control Unit Prisons |publisher=University of Massachusetts |access-date=October 23, 2006}}
Notable incidents
=High-profile escape attempts=
The first escape from USP Marion was on July 21, 1971, when Warren George Briggs leapt over two 15 foot fences and escaped to Kansas City, Missouri via Interstate 57. Four days later, Warren turned himself in to the FBI. He reportedly did this so he could draw attention to his invention, a water desalination process that would enable mankind to purify water at a reasonable cost.{{Cite web|url=https://www.mihp.org/2017/04/briggs-the-first-escape-from-marion-federal-prison/|title = Briggs, Warren George, the First Escape from Marion Federal Prison}}
On October 10, 1975, five inmates used an illegal homemade electronic device to open the front gates of the prison. One of them had been an electrician and was assigned to work on the lock mechanisms of all of the doors in the main corridors. He also converted a radio into a remote control, with which he opened all of the doors. The five escapees were all eventually captured and returned to prison, the last one being apprehended in Canada on October 31, 1975.
Two escape attempts occurred in 1978 involving the same inmate, Garrett Brock Trapnell. On May 24, 1978, Trapnell's friend, 43-year-old Barbara Ann Oswald, hijacked a St. Louis based charter helicopter and ordered the pilot, Allen Barklage, to fly to USP Marion. Barklage complied, but he wrestled the gun away from Oswald and fatally shot her while he was landing in the prison yard, thwarting the escape. On December 21, 1978, Oswald's 17-year-old daughter, Robin Oswald, hijacked TWA Flight 541, which was en route from Louisville International Airport to Kansas City International Airport and threatened to detonate dynamite strapped to her body if the pilot did not fly to Williamson County Regional Airport, located only miles from USP Marion. When the pilot landed at the airport in Marion, hundreds of cops showed up, Robin Oswald surrendered to F.B.I. negotiators at the Williamson airport without incident about ten hours later. The dynamite was later found to be fake.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=X5-ngmwEdeQC&q=%22Robin+Oswald%22&pg=PA193 |title=Prisons and the American Conscience .. |access-date=July 10, 2011|isbn=9780809320035 |year=1995 |last1=Keve |first1=Paul W. }}{{cite web|author=TIM O'NEIL • toneil@post-dispatch.com > 314-340-8132 |url=http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/article_1aac5de6-6eb4-5245-a126-7adf324d5eb2.html |title=A Look Back • Airline hijacking at Lambert in 1972 turns bizarre |publisher=Stltoday.com |date=June 25, 2011 |access-date=July 10, 2011}}
The last escape from the maximum-security prison area was on February 14, 1979, when Lawrence Caldwell, Albert Garza and Howard Zumberge climbed both exterior fences in a dense fog; Caldwell was caught before he could clear the first of the two fences.{{cite web | url=https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F2/664/135/198335/ | title=United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v.

During the capture of the escapees, Garza shot Johnson County Sheriff Elry Faulkner in the chest at almost point-blank range; Faulkner, however, was wearing a ballistic vest and only suffered minor bruises. Garza was shot and wounded, but survived and returned to Marion two months later.{{cite web|url=http://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F2/779/390/106252/|title=Albert Garza, Plaintiff-appellant, v.

=Murders of Correction Officers Clutts and Hoffmann=
On October 22, 1983, correctional officers Clutts and Hoffmann were killed in separate incidents only hours apart, both at the hands of members of the Aryan Brotherhood, a white-supremacist prison gang. Officer Clutts was stabbed to death by Thomas Silverstein.{{cite web|url=http://www.bop.gov/about/history/hero_clutts.jsp?i=17 |title=Merle E.

The prisoner in that cell subsequently unlocked Silverstein's handcuffs with a stolen key and provided him with a knife. Later that same morning, Officer Hoffmann was stabbed to death by Clayton Fountain, after Hoffmann had pulled Fountain off another officer who was being attacked.{{cite web|url=http://www.bop.gov/about/history/hero_hoffmann.jsp?i=18 |title=Robert L. Hoffman, Fallen Hero |publisher=Bop.gov |access-date=2014-03-15}}
Permanent lockdown and the birth of the supermax
As a result of the murders of Clutts and Hoffmann, USP Marion went into "permanent lockdown" with all inmates locked in their cells for the majority of the day.{{cite journal|author=Richards, Stephen C. |url=https://www.ncjrs.gov/App/publications/abstract.aspx?ID=243734 |title=USP Marion: The First Federal Supermax |journal=The Prison Journal |volume=8 |issue=1 | page=6 to 22 |publisher=Ncjrs.gov |date=March 2008 |doi = 10.1177/0032885507310529|s2cid = 145402046|access-date=2014-03-15|url-access=subscription }} USP Marion was effectively transformed into a "control unit" prison, also called supermax, or "super-maximum" security. This method of prison operation involves the keeping of inmates in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day, and does not allow communal dining, exercising, or religious services.
Years later, Norman Carlson, director of the Bureau of Prisons at the time of the Marion incident, said that as draconian as the permanent lockdown was, he believed it the only way to deal with "a very small subset of the inmate population who show absolutely no concern for human life." He pointed out that the two inmates who killed the guards were already serving multiple life sentences, so adding another would have had no effect. The "control unit" model at Marion was later the basis for ADX Florence, which opened in 1994 as a specifically designed supermax prison.{{cite news|url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/1998/12/28/MN42382.DTL|title=The Last Worst Place: The isolation at Colorado's ADX prison is brutal.

Downgraded to medium-security prison
In 2006, USP Marion's designation was changed to a medium security prison and major renovations were made. The renovations increased Marion's inmate population from 383 to 901.{{cite web

Communication Management Unit
Although the facility no longer operates as a "supermax" facility, USP Marion is now home to one of two "Communication Management Units" in the federal prison system. The other is at the Federal Correctional Complex, Terre Haute, Indiana. The Federal Bureau of Prisons created the Communication Management Unit (CMU) in response to criticism that it had not been adequately monitoring the communications of prisoners. "By concentrating resources in this fashion, it will greatly enhance the agency's capabilities for language translation, content analysis and intelligence sharing," according to the Bureau's summary of the CMU.[https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/24/AR2007022401231_pf.html Washington Post, February 2007] Facility holding terrorism inmates limits communication{{cite news |url= https://www.huffpost.com/entry/tales-from-inside-the-us_b_212632 |title=Tales from Inside the US |date= July 9, 2009|work=HuffPost|first=Daniel |last=McGowan}} In a Democracy Now! interview on June 25, 2009, animal rights activist Andrew Stepanian talked about being jailed at the CMU. Stepanian is believed to be the first prisoner released from a CMU.{{cite web|url=http://www.democracynow.org/2009/6/25/exclusive_animal_rights_activist_jailed_at |title=Democracy Now interview |publisher=Democracynow.org |date=2009-06-25 |access-date=2014-03-15}}
