📍 BREAKING ON THE WATERFRONT

The Federal Bureau of Prisons is officially shutting down FCI Terminal Island, the historic federal lockup sitting right across our San Pedro waterfront.

Federal inspectors found severe structural dangers — including crumbling concrete in the underground tunnels that house the prison’s heating system — forcing an immediate suspension of operations.

Nearly 1,000 inmates, including high-profile figures like Sam Bankman-Fried and Michael Avenatti, will be relocated in the coming weeks while officials determine the future of the site.

Built in 1938, Terminal Island has long been part of San Pedro’s complex history. But with more than $110 million in needed repairs and years of documented decline, the facility’s closure mirrors broader problems across the federal prison system.

We’ll continue to follow this developing story from the heart of the LA Waterfront.
