As of my last update in October 2023, there are approximately 37 supermax prisons in the United States. These facilities are designed to house the most dangerous and high-risk inmates, often featuring strict security measures and solitary confinement. Each state may have its own supermax facility, and the federal government also operates a notable one, the ADX Florence in Colorado. The number may vary slightly as new facilities are built or existing ones are repurposed.

Supermax - band - was created in 1976.
They were all moved to different prisons with several former inmates ending up at Marion Federal Penitentiary, the first "supermax" prison in the U.S.
Leavenworth was one of the worst prisons back in the day, the most dangerous prisoners now are sent to ADX in Colorado but they rarely have contact with other inmates. I just did 6 years in California and Pelican Bay, Calipatria, High Desert, and New Folsom level 4 yards are by far the most dangerous prisons in California and probably in the whole country

Supermax prisons typically hold the fewest inmates due to their high level of security. These facilities are designed to house the most dangerous and high-risk offenders, with strict supervision and limited interaction with other inmates.
