Federal Prison Camp (FPC)

A Federal Prison Camp (FPC) is a type of minimum-security federal prison in the U.S. designed for non-violent offenders with shorter sentences. FPCs typically have a more relaxed environment, fewer security measures, and emphasize rehabilitation and work programs. Inmates generally live in barrack-style housing and have access to educational and vocational opportunities. These facilities focus on reintegration into society, offering a less restrictive setting than higher-security prisons, while maintaining essential safety protocols for staff and inmates.
