The Federal Detention Center (FDC Oakdale) was a United States federal prison which housed male detainees, for the U.S. Immigration, Customs and Enforcement (ICE).

It was part of the Oakdale Federal Correctional Complex (FCC) and was operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a division of the United States Department of Justice. The facility also has an adjacent satellite prison camp for minimum-security male inmates.
FDC Oakdale is located in central Louisiana, 35 miles south of Alexandria and 58 miles north of Lake Charles.[1]
