What is UNICOR?

• UNICOR is the trade name for Federal Prison
  Industries (also referred to as FPI).
• UNICOR, Federal Prison Industries is a
  self-sustaining, self-funded corporation
  established in 1934 by executive order to create
  a voluntary real-world work program to train
  federal inmates.
• UNICOR benefits society in many ways. Inmates
  who work in UNICOR are 24 less likely to
  recidivate (return to criminal activity) upon
  their release than similar inmates without UNICOR
  experience (40). Inmates in UNICOR are also 14
  more likely to find and maintain employment after
  their release.
• By law, UNICOR must operate in a self-sustaining
  manner, meaning it receives no appropriated funds
  from Congress. All of UNICORs costs and
  expenses are funded by the revenues it generates.
  UNICOR provides a variety of products and
  services from seven business groups
  electronics, textiles, fleet management,
  services, recycling, industrial products and
  office furniture.
• In fiscal year 2007, UNICOR employed over 23,000
  inmates and had net sales of over 800 million.
• To compete effectively in a shrinking Government
  marketplace, UNICOR regularly shows its products
  and services in trade shows around the Nation.

CHALLENGES OPPORTUNITIES

• Challenges
• The UNICOR factory workforce typically hires
  untrained workers with little or no previous work
  experience and must develop its workers skills
  from the ground up
• Factories experience unique challenges with
  additional security requirements that are not
  usually found in the private sector such as
  tool security, area searches, institution
  appointments for inmate programs, shut downs due
  to security concerns such as fog, emergencies,
  etc.
• Factory Staff have the unique challenge of
  serving as Correctional Workers in addition to
  their normal positions. Staff at times are
  called away to respond to institutional
  emergencies and act in the same capacity as a
  Correctional Officer.
• Opportunities
• Inmates receive marketable skills to prepare for
  re-entry into society
• Inmate workers are motivated to obtain their GED
  if they do not already have one. Workers can not
  be promoted beyond a pay grade 4 unless they have
  a GED or HS Diploma
• Inmates are paid based on work performance and
  other factors. This pay is used to pay court
  mandated fines, higher education and other
  expenses
• Inmate workers must apply and compete for a
  limited number of positions in the factory
• Inmate workers must prove that they are an asset
  to the UNICOR operation by demonstrating ability,
  responsibility, initiative and positive attitude
  in order to maintain employment with UNICOR
