Federal Prison Industries, Inc. (FPI) is a wholly owned government corporation and inmate reentry program operated within the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) under the trade name "UNICOR."

In fiscal year (FY) 2011, FPI had $745 million in total sales, mostly to the federal government. 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.
