My understanding is they are - for a set amount of time, after which they are returned to the PO in Lady Lake. apparently with so many packages and so few lockers the packages can sit for a while, which isn't allowed per USPS guidelines. I don't know that timeframe, I recently received a package with a notation to return on a date 6 days from the day it was placed in a locker - which was 4 days after my USPS "informed delivery" says it was delivered. I have no idea where it was those 4 days, presumably in the postal station.

Informed delivery is a great free USPS service, you receive an email each day of what is being delivered.
