Oxford, Wisconsin

The claim: Central part of state - Federal prison & satellite camp and FEMA detention facility.

What it really is: There is a Federal prison with a prison camp there. It is a medium security prison, and the prison camp is minimum security. The prison holds about 1,000 prisoners in it, with 200 people in the prison camp.

All of this is public knowledge, and the camp is not run by FEMA.

Fort McCoy, Wisconsin

The claim: Rex 84 facility with several complete interment compounds.

What it really is: It is a army and National Guard training center that has been around since 1909.

The base trains around 100,000 people a year, and at times up to 150,000 people a year, so multiple barracks are needed, and in fact in the 1990's a major construction project was undertaken there costing $140 million.

Whether or not it was used as a Rex 84 facility is unknown and irrelevant.
