A Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) is a type of prison operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons in the United States. FCIs are designed to house inmates who have been convicted of federal crimes and typically offer various levels of security, including low, medium, and high security. These facilities focus on rehabilitation and provide programs aimed at helping inmates reintegrate into society. Inmates at FCIs may have access to educational programs, vocational training, and counseling services. The goal of these institutions is to reduce recidivism rates and prepare inmates for successful reentry into the community after serving their sentences.
