Prisons are run (or owned and outsourced) by the government. In America, we are ruled by the Federal gov't, then the state gov't, and of course our own municipality.
Both Federal and state law-makers have laws on the books and cops to enforce them. Both the Federal and state gov'ts need places to incarcerate those convicted of crimes within their jurisdiction. Federal prisons are for Federal crimes and state prisons are for state crimes.
I think that answers the question you meant to ask.

What do you mean "what type"...?? All types. Every "type" of person commits crime.
A federal charge can be a lot of things....white collar crimes like embezzlement, to murder, to terrorism, etc.
