Fox Hill Prison, Correctional facility in Nassau, Bahamas
Fox Hill Prison is a correctional facility in Nassau housing minimum, medium, and maximum security sections for male prisoners alongside dedicated wings for female inmates. The facility also contains medical units to serve the health needs of the incarcerated population.
The facility was established in 1952 as Her Majesty's Prisons and took its current name in 2014 when the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services assumed management. This transition reflected a shift in how corrections were administered in the nation.
The institution represents the primary correctional facility in the Bahamas, managing both local inmates and international prisoners through various rehabilitation programs.
Meetings with inmates require prior scheduling through the Visit Department, with different requirements depending on prisoner status. Planning ahead is necessary to arrange access to the facility.
The prison maintains cells measuring 6 by 10 feet, where up to six inmates share limited space without standard amenities or proper sanitation facilities.
