Frequently Asked Questions

Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) Administration – FAQs

  1. What is the Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP)?
      The Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) is the agency within the U.S. Department of Justice responsible for managing federal correctional facilities. It oversees the incarceration, rehabilitation, and reentry of individuals convicted of federal crimes, ensuring compliance with federal laws and regulations.

  2. How does the FBOP classify inmates?
      The FBOP uses a security classification system based on factors such as criminal history, sentence length, behavior, and institutional needs. Inmates are assigned to facilities with minimum, low, medium, high, or administrative security levels to ensure appropriate placement.

  3. What administrative offices oversee the FBOP?
      The FBOP is headquartered in Washington, D.C., with multiple regional offices that oversee federal prisons in their respective areas. Key administrative divisions include:

    • Inmate Management and Classification
    • Health Services
    • Reentry Services
    • Correctional Programs
    • Facility Security & Operations

  4. How does the FBOP determine inmate placement?
      The FBOP assigns inmates to facilities based on a scoring system that evaluates their criminal background, behavior, gang affiliations, medical needs, and risk level. Transfers may occur for disciplinary reasons, medical care, or administrative decisions.

  5. What types of rehabilitation programs does the FBOP offer?
      The FBOP provides educational, vocational, and substance abuse treatment programs to help inmates develop skills for reentry into society. Programs include:

    • GED and college coursework
    • Vocational training (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, auto repair)
    • Drug and alcohol rehabilitation (RDAP - Residential Drug Abuse Program)
    • Reentry and life skills programs

  6. What role does the FBOP play in inmate healthcare?
      The FBOP operates Federal Medical Centers (FMCs) for inmates requiring advanced medical care and contracts with outside hospitals for emergencies. Inmates receive routine medical checkups, mental health services, and medication management based on their health classification.

  7. How does the FBOP handle inmate communications?
      The FBOP provides phone, email, and postal mail services for inmates to stay in touch with approved contacts. Communications are monitored and recorded for security purposes. Email is accessed through the Trulincs system, and phone calls are handled by GTL (ViaPath) or Securus with 15-minute call limits.

  8. What is the First Step Act, and how does it affect federal inmates?
      The First Step Act (2018) is a federal law designed to promote criminal justice reform by expanding early release opportunities, increasing good conduct time credits, and improving rehabilitation programs. Eligible inmates may earn time credits toward pre-release custody by participating in approved educational and vocational programs.

  9. How does the FBOP handle inmate grievances and complaints?
      The Administrative Remedy Program allows inmates to file formal complaints about staff misconduct, prison conditions, medical care, and disciplinary actions. Inmates must first attempt to resolve issues informally before escalating grievances to higher levels within the FBOP.

  10. How does the FBOP prepare inmates for release?
      The FBOP operates Residential Reentry Centers (RRCs) (halfway houses) to help inmates transition back into society. Services include job placement assistance, housing referrals, mental health support, and life skills training. Many inmates also serve part of their sentence in home confinement as they near release.
