FCC Lompoc comprises four facilities: Federal Correctional Institution, Lompoc, a low security Federal Correctional Institution housing male inmates; and United States Penitentiary, Lompoc, now a medium security facility housing male inmates. There are two minimum security prison camps that also house adult male inmates. One is a Federal Prison Camp, the other is a Residential Drug Abuse Treatment Camp.

The Medium security complex also contains a maximum security wing constructed in 2006 known as the "SHU" or "Special Housing Unit". Inmates in the SHU remain in their cells 24/7 as the cells are equipped with showers. Inmates may be placed in the SHU as a disciplinary measure or for administrative reasons. Treatment of inmates in the SHU is comparable to that found at ADMAX facilities elsewhere.
