Maybe within walking distance!

Most prison escapees try to get as far away as possible as rapidly as possible so living relatively close should be no problem. They may head up or down the turnpike or I-95 after a quick stop in LSL or SS for refreshments. lol

Now if it were Guantanamo i would feel otherwise...

Hi all, question, does anyone know how far it is from Fenney to the federal state prison? I have heard that at night you can see the lights from the prison from Fenney. Is anyone afraid to buy a house in Fenney do to the prison being close?? We have looked at houses there and would like to live there but a little afraid of the prison....
You can go visit Whitey Bulger at the prison. I wouldn't want to live that close to it.

TV is NOT a gated community. That said, its a heck of a lot safer than many other areas.

If coleman is that close, might be a good place to volunteer with the ministry.

I'm sorry but I cannot understand why you would knowingly move next-door to a federal prison. Those are not Boy Scouts in there. But Hey, to each their own. I'm sure location will be great for resale

I would be more concerned about living near power lines or a nuclear power plant then Coleman, in fact I wouldn't own a lot that bordered on fresh water in Florida. I have a thing about gators in my backyard. Both units at Coleman have been built since 1995 so they have state-of-the-art facilities for monitoring and with a lot fencing and guard towers.

Did you know that TV is within 45 miles of this?

I would live in Fenney before I would many parts of Orlando, or home of Disney World, Kissimmee. They have the distinction of being the worse city to live in Florida.

To each their own. Not for me. Power plant doesn't thrill me either but at least it's not behind the bushes in my backyard.

But what about the drug user or convicted felon or sex offender that may be living right on your street?
It seems hard to accept the hypocrisy of your and others posts bashing Fenney.
I read nearly every day of the dregs of society doing all kinds of things in other villages.....and very little is said that "I sure would not live there" etc. As well it shouldn't be said.
I really don't see what is accomplished by these naysayer posts regarding Fenney.

No hypocracy as that druggie or felon is the unknown. The prison is known. As I said - to each their own. It's ok to not want to live there.

Thanks bagboy!

Well, better the devil you know locked up than the devil you don't know living freely nearby!
