(FPI) is a wholly owned government corporation and inmate reentry program operated within the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) under the trade name "UNICOR." FPI's mission is to employ and provide job skills training to the greatest practicable number of inmates confined within the BOP; contribute to the safety and security of federal correctional facilities by keeping inmates constructively occupied; produce market-quality products and services; operate in a self-sustaining manner; and minimize FPI's impact on private business and labor.

The U.S. Department of Defense is FPI/s largest customer, accounting for $357 million in sales, or 48 percent of total sales, in FY 2011.
