Federal Prison System

The Federal Prison System is the network of correctional facilities managed by the federal government in the United States. It houses individuals convicted of federal crimes, such as drug trafficking, fraud, or offenses crossing state lines. Operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the system aims to ensure public safety, rehabilitate inmates, and prepare them for reintegration into society. Federal prisons generally have stricter security and varied levels of confinement, tailored to the severity of the crime and the inmate's profile. Inmates serve sentences that range from months to life based on their convictions.
