Former SuperMax Prison

edit

USP Marion was downgraded to medium-security in 2006. Should this still be categorized as a Supermax although it no longer holds this status?--Broux (talk) 22:08, 24 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

I thought Supermax was uniquely applied to ADX Florence. The other ones featured seem to be Level 5, which I believe is not Supermax. Valetude (talk) 11:57, 28 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Terminology outside the US

edit

This terminology is used extensively outside the US, as can be seen in the Supermax prison article. Why does the description restrict it to the US? I only looked at it after adding a South African prison I happened upon and was editing, and chose the category as an obvious name. Shouldn't there be a sub-category for the US, rather than restricting the general one to the US? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 04:36, 28 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
