Jimmy was convicted of a litany of federal crimes, and as such would be in a federal penitentiary. He would never be transferred to a county jail; the fictional BCDC would be equivalent to the Calgary Remand Centre, where those accused of crimes are remanded before and during their trial.
In reality he likely wouldn't be at an ADMAX prison either. The fictional ADX Montrose is inspired by the real-life ADX Florence (which has the real-life nickname "the Alcatraz of the Rockies"), which mostly houses extremely violent offenders and terrorists who would be considered national security risks if they ever got out. That said there are maximum ("high") and medium-security institutions at the Florence prison complex too; likely Jimmy would be at one of those, as he isn't a violent offender. Actually the federal penitentiary that Jimmy negotiated he'd serve at, the Butner complex in North Carolina, is a real-life prison (that Bernie Madoff really was jailed in) that a criminal like him likely would end up at, although probably not the minimum-security institution he spoke of. Maybe with good behaviour.
