Background:

Federal Prison Industries: The mission of Federal Prison Industries, Inc. (FPI) is to protect society and reduce crime by providing inmates with job training and practical work skills for reentry success. In 1934, federal legislation authorized the incorporation of FPI to manage, train, and rehabilitate inmates through employment. The hope was that providing inmates with marketable job skills would help to reduce the rate of recidivism. FPI sells products and services to federal agencies, and by law, must concentrate on providing products that permit the employment of the greatest number of inmates as is reasonably possible. FPI is a wholly-owned government corporation managed by the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Bureau of Prisons (BOP), with nearly 17,000 inmates employed in FPI factories in 2019. As of February 2020, FPI operates 57 factories, and there are 122 federal correctional institutions. FPI’s operations are intended to be economically self-sustaining, as the program does not receive annual appropriations. With over 86 years of proven results, Federal Prison Industries believes in “the power of work to transform lives”.
