Camp Cupcake

Camp Cupcake is a colloquial term referring to a low-security federal prison in the United States, notably associated with the incarceration of white-collar criminals. The term gained prominence after Martha Stewart served time at the Federal Prison Camp in Alderson, West Virginia. Unlike traditional prisons, these camps often offer more lenient conditions, such as minimal fencing and provisions for personal comforts, focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment. Camp Cupcake symbolizes the disparity between the experiences of different types of offenders within the criminal justice system.
