United States Penitentiary

A United States Penitentiary (USP) is a federal prison where individuals convicted of federal crimes serve their sentences. These facilities are managed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons and provide varying levels of security, from minimum to maximum. USPs focus on rehabilitation, safety, and maintaining order within the prison community. Inmates may participate in educational and vocational programs to help them reintegrate into society after their release. The goal is to reduce recidivism and support successful transitions back to the community while ensuring the security of the public and the institution itself.
