A Federal Prison is a correctional facility operated by the federal government of the United States. It is designed to house individuals convicted of federal crimes, which are violations of federal laws. These prisons are managed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons and vary in security levels, including minimum, medium, and maximum security. Inmates in federal prisons typically serve longer sentences than those in state prisons, as federal offenses often involve serious crimes such as drug trafficking, fraud, or violent offenses. The facilities provide various programs aimed at rehabilitation, education, and vocational training to help inmates reintegrate into society after their release.
