The Federal Correctional Institution, Dublin (FCI Dublin), established in 1974, houses female inmates in Dublin, California. Since 2012, it has functioned exclusively as one of only four federal prisons for women in the US (the other three are Aliceville, AL, Tallahassee, FL, and Waseca, MN).. FCI Dublin incorporates three separate buildings with double-celled units for housing inmates. It is located near the Santa Rita Jail, which is operated by Alameda County. Additional facilities include a special housing unit, a detention center, and a minimum-security satellite camp. Security measures prioritize preventing escape attempts through a double perimeter fence system reinforced with razor wire and electronic sensors.

Women in prison are the primary or sole caregivers of children before incarceration. For offenders who will give birth during their incarceration, there are two programs offered to assist are often these mothers before, during, and after childbirth; these include Mothers and Infants Together (MINT) and the Residential Parenting Program (RPP). The MINT Program is a community residential program that aims to assist offenders during the last two months of pregnancy. Eligible inmates are transferred to a Residential Reentry Center and remain there for up to three months after birth to bond with their children before returning to the institution to complete their sentence. Inmates may be permitted to stay longer. MINT locations include Dublin, CA.

The Program Statement, Female Offender Manual, is the agency's primary policy addressing the management of incarcerated women. The agency also issued an Operations Memorandum requiring all female sites to provide five types of feminine hygiene products to inmates free of charge.

FCI Dublin emphasizes rehabilitation through various educational and vocational opportunities. Inmates can pursue a GED or acquire English language skills. Parenting and adult education courses are available, and those seeking further education can enroll in paid correspondence programs. The facility offers advanced occupational programs in fields like custodial maintenance and office technology. Apprenticeship opportunities encompass various trades, allowing inmates to gain valuable skills in areas like carpentry, electrical work, and plumbing.

FCI Dublin houses a Residential Drug Abuse Program to address substance abuse issues. Inmates also have access to legal and leisure libraries. The leisure library offers a wide range of reading materials and audio-visual resources. Offenders who qualify for and complete RDAP may reduce their release date by one year.

Notable inmates include Patricia Hearst, daughter of publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst who was convicted of participating in a 1974 bank robbery with members of the Symbionese Liberation Army who had kidnapped her several months earlier.
