pelican Bay is a state prison. The only full hundred percent super Max prison is Florence Colorado ADX. there’s a dozen other State prisons that offer a super Max cell block. But none are as secure as Florence. Additionally on a federallevel I think it’s only Florence. I’m not sure of any other federal facilities that contain any super Max blocks. additionally, solitary does not equal super max.

I see. After looking into it more, I’m surprised to see the term getting applied very generously to a variety of different prison conditions. I would have imagined they’d have a set of standards that dictate this sort of thing.

Anyway, cheers and thanks for the info.
