Upon sentencing in District Court, the BOP has the sole responsibility in determining where an offender will be designated for service of their sentence (not the judge or prosecutor). The BOP's Designation and Sentence Computation Center (DSCC), located at the Grand Prairie, TX determines where the inmates will be placed.
Prior to a designation occurring, the DSCC must receive for consideration all sentencing material regarding the offender. These documents are received from the sentencing Court, US Probation Office, and the US Marshals Service and processed. The BOP tries to designate inmates to facilities that fit with their custody level and program needs within a 500-mile radius of their release residence. If an inmate is placed at an institution that is more than 500 miles from his/her release residence, generally, it is due to a specific security, programming, or population concerns. The same criteria apply when making decisions for transfer to a new facility.
Inmates are designated/re-designated to institutions based on:
Each inmate is interviewed and screened by staff from the case management, medical, and mental health units. Later, an inmate is assigned to the Admission and Orientation (A&O) Program, where he or she receives a formal orientation to the programs, services, policies, and procedures of that facility. This program provides an introduction to all aspects of the institution.
For security, safety, and sanitation reasons, the Bureau limits the amount of property (jewelry, photographs, books, magazines, etc.) inmates may have and the types of publications inmates can receive. The institution issues clothing, hygiene items, and bedding; and provides laundry services. Inmates may purchase other personal care items, shoes, some recreational clothing, and some food items through the commissary. Civilian clothing (i.e., clothing not issued to the inmate by the Bureau or purchased by the inmate from the commissary) ordinarily must be sent home.
In most cases, inmates who do not have a high school diploma or a General Educational Development (GED) certificate must participate in the literacy program for a minimum of 240 hours or until they obtain the GED. Non-English-speaking inmates must take English as a Second Language.
Vocational and occupational training programs are based on the needs of the inmates, general labor market conditions, and institution labor force needs. An important component is on-the-job training, which inmates receive through institution job assignments and work in Federal Prison Industries. The Bureau also facilitates post-secondary education in vocational and occupationally oriented areas. Some traditional college courses are available, but inmates are responsible for funding this coursework.
The BOP provides progressive and humane treatment and services to federal inmates and implements programs that facilitate their successful reintegration into society.
Each BOP facility offers programs and services that vary based on the characteristics and needs of its specific inmate population.
