Federal Prison Industries (UNICOR)

Federal Prison Industries, commonly known as UNICOR, is a government program that operates within the U.S. federal prison system. It provides work opportunities for inmates, helping them develop job skills and earn wages while serving their sentences. UNICOR produces a variety of products, including furniture, textiles, and electronics, which are sold primarily to federal agencies. The program aims to reduce recidivism by promoting rehabilitation through employment, contributing to the inmates' reintegration into society, and generating revenue that can support various prison functions and reduce taxpayer costs.
