Iowa was spot on. Location sucks. I'l add here is some of the internal deal with Thomson. They have a decent Warden now and from my former co workers there they have some solid staff now but it has its issues. I watched several staff transfer there from my USP. Most were biding time till they can get another transfer. The problem is when they activate a brand new prison you have a lot of BOP transfer in from all over. The problem is it almost never works out with a USP as 80% plus have never worked in a USP (aka where real thugs are) and have never seen a bloody nose fist fight. The issue that elevates Thomson is it is the new Special Management Unit as they are reassigning Lewisberg to a FCI.
So when Tomson activated you had mid and upper management transferring in that category that are two types. First have no clue that bad things happen as they have never worked a cell unit in any USP or even been inside a USP. Second is the Ostrich head in the sand type. Those types know stuff happens but they keep their head in the sand because they are there for 18 month to put a "I was at a Administrative USP to promote out" types. And don't want to get caught up in anything to hinder a transfer as they can't get away fast enough.
Good luck
