RECREATION AND LEISURE ACTIVITIES
A well rounded recreation program has been tailored to meet the needs of the inmates’ leisure time (after meeting daily work assignment requirements). Both indoor and outdoor facilities are available depending on weather conditions. Television viewing rooms are located in each of the housing units for inmate use. Specific interests in additional recreational activities will be considered when a demand appears to be sufficient to make other programs feasible.
Inmates participating in any league will be required to sign an FCI Seagoville, Sports League Code of Conduct By-Laws.
Leisure time activities are posted on the Unit bulletin boards.
