For more information on FCI Butner, including rules, punishments and recreation, click on the link at top right. Inmates wake up at 6 AM, make their own beds, and follow rigorous rules. Inmates work in food preparation, maintenance or in federal prison industries. As FCI writes, "All inmates are expected to maintain a regular job assignment. Many job assignments are
controlled through a Performance Pay System, which provides monetary payment for work. The Federal Prison Industries, has a separate pay scale. Unit staff approve job changes and see that the changes are posted
on the Daily Change Sheet. Institutional maintenance jobs are usually the first assignment an inmate receives. These might include work
in Food Service, as a unit orderly, or in amaintenance shop; however, FCI-I and SPC Butner has a significant number of inmate jobs in the factory operated by Federal Prison Industries, also known as UNICOR. There is a waiting list for factory employment.
UNICOR employs and trains inmates through the operation of, and earnings from, factories producing high quality products and services for the Federal Government. Some examples of products and services UNICOR
produces are electronic cable assemblies, executive and systems furniture, metal pallet racks, stainless steel food service equipment, eye glasses, mattresses, towels, utility bags, clothing, brooms, data entry, signs, and
printing. UNICOR earnings fund other inmate programs, as well as pre-industrial training to prepare inmates for employment."
