About
We are an agency like no other.

154,853 Inmates
Our agency is responsible for the custody and care of federal inmates.
Lower Rate of Recidivism
The Bureau of Prisons offers a wide range of inmate programs to address criminogenic needs, including those related to substance abuse, education, employment, and more, thereby ensuring inmates' successful transition to the community. Accordingly, the federal recidivism rate has declined over the past couple of decades and is now 20% lower than the rate of many large state Departments of Corrections.
35,577 Employees
We ensure the security of federal prisons and provide inmates with programs and services that model mainstream values.
