We here at the fifth directorate want you to be informed. We are pleased to bring you details of the Federal Prison Industries, a premier integrated service solutions managment team. As the name suggests, this industry uses highly skilled prison labor to provide a broad spectrum of integrated solutions for fields as diverse as fleet management to IT networking.

Question: What happens when prison populations become profitable? What incentives are offered for the prisoners? Are ethical dilemmas raised by using prison labor in this way?

  • FPI has been providing the highest quality service offerings for the Department of Defense and has earned the trust of the American Defense establishment. Today, American military vehicles with FPI remanufactured components are performing missions around the world. FPI remanufactured generator sets are on air bases, and rebuilt forklifts are loading weapons and equipment onto our nation's naval fleets. FPI has the capacity and ability to handle any mission.

    FPI rebuilds most common starters, alternators, generators and regulators used on military trucks, tanks and other military vehicles.

    FPI has established equipment receiving and distribution sites around the world enabling Military groups and the Department of Defense to drop off damaged vehicle components and pick-up like items that can be placed into immediate operation. Unserviceable equipment is sent to FPI facilities for remanufacture and returned to a distribution pool at each site creating a steady stream of components ready for service.

    FPI's web-based tracking system enables military groups to monitor equipment status, including warranty dates and claim information.
