McNall went directly to the Federal Prison Camp at Lompoc on Monday, prison officials and McNall's lawyer said.
The camp is a low-security satellite facility to the U.S. Penitentiary at Lompoc and houses white-collar and non-violent offenders, said Jack Stone, central inmate monitoring coordinator for the western region.
At the camp on the Santa Barbara County coast, inmates perform such duties as roadside cleanup, Stone said. Asked whether McNall might be excused from such work because of his notoriety, Stone said: "All inmates are treated the same. If they are physically able, they work."
When McNall, 46, finishes serving his sentence, he will owe $5 million restitution to his victims, including Bank of America, European American Bank, Union Bank of California and about half a dozen other institutions.
McNall pleaded guilty in January 1994 two counts of bank fraud and single counts of conspiracy and wire fraud. He had been free on bond.
