The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent agency that works for Congress. The GAO watches over Congress, and investigates how the federal government spends taxpayers dollars. The Comptroller General of the United States is the leader of the GAO, and is appointed to a 15-year term by the U.S. President. The GAO wants to support Congress, while at the same time doing right by the citizens of the United States. They audit, investigate, perform analyses, issue legal decisions and report anything that the government is doing. This is one of their reports.

The Fed. Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is responsible for the custody and care of more than 201,000 fed. offenders. To provide housing for these prisoners, BOP manages the construction and maintenance of its prison facilities and oversees contract facilities. This report looks into recent increases in estimated costs for Fed.

This report addresses: (1) the reasons for the changes to the estimated costs; and (2) the actions BOP has taken -- or plans to take -- to control future cost increases and delays. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
