Federal Bureau Of Prisons

We are an agency like no other.

We protect public safety by ensuring that federal offenders serve their sentences of imprisonment in facilities that are safe, humane, cost-efficient, and appropriately secure, and provide reentry programming to ensure their successful return to the community.

153,611 Inmates

Our agency is responsible for the custody and care of federal inmates.

34% Rate of Recidivism

The Bureau of Prisons provides a myriad of inmate programs to address criminogenic needs. Accordingly, the federal recidivism rate has declined over the past couple of decades and is now half the rate of many large state Departments of Corrections. 

37,640 Employees

We ensure the security of federal prisons and provide inmates with programs and services that model mainstream values.
