I believe it’s being used as a colloquial play on “summer camp” to describe the prison as not that bad.

This is actually a term used by the BOP to describe minimum security institutions:

"Minimum security institutions, also known as Federal Prison Camps (FPCs), have dormitory housing, a relatively low staff-to-inmate ratio, and limited or no perimeter fencing. These institutions are work- and program-oriented."

Huh the more you know. Maybe it’s just me but as a technical term it makes them sound worse. My mind goes to POW camps, internment camps, death camps…
