"Club Fed" is a derisive term used in North America to refer to a prison whose accommodations are seen as less severe than many other prisons. Club Fed is a pun on the "Club Med" chain of all-inclusive resorts. The 1999 movie Office Space made a reference to this style of prison by referring to it as a "white-collar, minimum-security resort." However, later in the film, a lawyer rebuts this view by stating that residents of federal prisons are subject to physical and sexual violence.
