  In 1891, Congress passed the "Three Prisons Act," which established the Federal Prison System (FPS). The first three prisons – United States Penitentiary (USP) Leavenworth, USP Atlanta, and USP McNeil Island – operated with limited oversight by the Department of Justice (DOJ). During the 1920s, Assistant Attorney General Mabel Walker Willebrandt was responsible for the FPS and recognized the need for centralized administration and standardized regulations and she pushed for the establishment of a new DOJ agency to oversee the FPS. Following a study of the FPS that highlighted problems, including overcrowding and the lack of meaningful programs for the incarcerated, Congress established the Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) by passing the Act of May 14, 1930 (ch.274, 46 Stat. 325) which was [...] FBOP encompasses two subcomponents: ## Federal Prison Industries, Inc. (FPI) Federal Prison Industries, Inc. (FPI), a wholly owned government corporation, was created by statute (P.L. 73-461) on June 23, 1934, and implemented by Executive Order No. 6917, signed by President Roosevelt on December 11, 1934. The mission of Federal Prison Industries, Inc., is to provide training and employment for incarcerated adults confined in FBOP institutions. The major functions of the FPI are to: [...] Exercise jurisdiction over industrial enterprises of all FBOP institutions. Maintain a diversified program of industrial operations that ensure optimum employment of incarcerated individuals. Provide a wide range of products and services to other federal agencies at fair market prices, structuring product lines to minimize competition with private sector industry and labor in any particular product or service area. Provide job skills training and work opportunities for adults in federal prison, maximizing their chances to secure work upon their release, and successfully reenter society as contributing, tax-paying citizens.
