I want to know how to go to the fedral prision? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.167.145.138 (talk • contribs) 16:38, 13 August 2005

Commit a federal crime. I mean, don't. That's not a suggestion or an order or anything, just an answer to your question. I'd advise you not to do this at all. If you're talking about visiting a federal prison, you should find this page from the Federal Bureau of Prisons helpful. --BDD (talk) 18:31, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

– Consistent with U.S. state and other similar articles. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 14:14, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: Makes more sense to be consistent with the parent article, which is United States. I suspect U.S. state is only where it is because United States state sounds silly and nobody had the gumption to change to States of the United States. Would Support a move to the pattern List of state prisons in the United States, which seems much more natural, and fits in with how we deal with practically every other country in the world.

Neutral but I like List of state prisons in the United States. State prisons is the common noun, versus federal prison or county prison. --Iloilo Wanderer (talk) 04:07, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I see no reason for moving it. Creating redirects at the redlinks is fine with me though. Many of the United States articles spell it full out. -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 03:27, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Agree with Skinsmoke. e.g. "States of the United States" makes sense. Student7 (talk) 23:10, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
