Who We Are

Iowa Prison Industries (IPI) is the job training program within the Iowa Department of Corrections, providing offenders with the opportunity for Building Brighter Futures.

IPI’s work training programs are one of the most successful programs in reducing recidivism – the likelihood that a released incarcerated individual will return to prison. Since more than 90% of Iowa’s prison population will eventually be released, the training programs of IPI are vital to the safety and security of Iowa.

IPI is 100% self-funding and relies on the sales of our products and services to fund these valuable training programs. IPI’s programs and services are only available to purchase by governmental agencies, school districts, non-profit groups and employees of these organizations.

IPI’s work training programs consist of Traditional Industries, IPI Farms and Private Sector Work Programs. In total, IPI trains over 700 offenders daily in one of our work programs, accounting for over one million hours of incarcerated individual training in the course of a year.

Iowa Prison Industries has an Advisory Board consisting of private citizens representing banking, education, agriculture, labor, voc-education and one member of the parole board. Board meetings are held quarterly.
