To handle the projected growth of between 2,500 and 3,000 or more inmates per year from 2015 through 2020, BOP has spent about $1.3 billion constructing five new institutions and acquiring one in Thomson, IL. BOP is activating these institutions by staffing and equipping them and populating them with inmates. This report reviewed, among other things, (1) the extent to which BOP is activating institutions within estimated timeframes and has an activation policy or schedules that meet best practices; and (2) why DOJ purchased Thomson and how the purchase affected system wide costs.

The Department of Justice's (DOJ) Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) requested about $6.9 billion in fiscal year 2014 to provide for the custody and care of an inmate population that has increased from about 24,000 in fiscal year 1980 to over 216,000 in July 2014. According to DOJ, as of July 2014, BOP-operated institutions are about 31 percent overcrowded, which occurs when institutions house more inmates than they are designed to hold. Moreover, according to BOP's most recent long-range capacity plan included in DOJ's annual congressional budget justification for BOP, the bureau projects annual inmate growth of between 2,500 and 3,000 or more from fiscal years 2015 through 2020.

" The federal inmate population has increased over the last two decades, and as of July 2014, BOP was responsible for the custody and care of more than 216,000 inmates. To handle the projected growth of between 2,500 and 3,000 or more inmates per year from 2015 through 2020, BOP has spent about $1.3 billion constructing five new institutions and acquiring one in Thomson, Illinois. BOP is activating these institutions by staffing and equipping them and populating them with inmates. GAO was requested to review BOP's activation process of newly constructed and acquired institutions. GAO reviewed, among other things, (1) the extent to which BOP is activating institutions within estimated timeframes and has an activation policy or schedules that meet best practices, and (2) why DOJ purchased Thomson and how the purchase affected system wide costs. GAO reviewed BOP budget documents from fiscal years 2008 to 2015 and assessed schedules against GAO's Schedule Assessment Guide. GAO conducted site visits to the six institutions, interviewed BOP officials, and reviewed staffing data from fiscal years 2010 through 2013. "

Introduction to Penology and Corrections offers the best of two worlds, covering the practical matters that jail and prison administrators face, along with the theories behind punishment and the management of correctional facilities. Introduction to Penology and Corrections by experienced author Laura Pinto Hansen combines the study of punishment alongside corrections, balancing the perspectives of academics, practitioners, and prisoners. In addition, the text includes cross-cultural, cross-national views in punishment and corrections, as well as real-life stories from professionals in corrections, family members of the accused/incarcerated, and prisoners. While taking into consideration the practical matters that jail and prison administrators and staff face, this comprehensive text also explores the theories behind punishment and the management of correctional facilities. Professors and students will benefit from: Comprehensive review of philosophies and history of punishment, both in the United States and elsewhere in the world. Each chapter includes Stories from Behind Bars and International Perspectives designed to offer an inclusive view of the culture of punishment through the eyes of staff and prisoners. Introduction to a wide variety of potential careers in the field of corrections today, including the perceptions and realities of these jobs. Current social justice issues surrounding criminal justice and corrections are spotlighted. Comparisons of male and female detainees and inmates, along with the challenges that the transgender population face while incarcerated. Medical and mental health issues, including those that have been particularly challenging in corrections during the COVID-19 pandemic, are highlighted. Learning objectives and key terms with definitions in each chapter help students understand new concepts.

Is it time to give up on rehabilitating criminals? Record numbers of Americans are going to prison, and most of them will eventually return to society with a high chance of becoming repeat offenders. But a decision to abandon rehabilitation programs now would be premature warns Ann Chih Lin, who finds that little attention has been given to how these programs are actually implemented and why they tend to fail. In Reform in the Making, she not only supplies much-needed information on the process of program implementation but she also considers its social context, the daily realities faced by prison staff and inmates. By offering an in-depth look at common rehabilitation programs currently in operation--education, job training, and drug treatment--and examining how they are used or misused, Lin offers a practical approach to understanding their high failure rate and how the situation could be improved. Based on extensive observation and over 350 interviews with staff and prisoners in five medium-security male prisons, the book contrasts successfully implemented programs with subverted, abandoned, or neglected programs (those which staff reject or which do not teach prisoners anything useful). Lin explains that staff and prisoners have little patience with programs aimed at long-range goals when they must face the ongoing, immediate challenge of surviving prison life. Finding incentives to make both sides participate fully in rehabilitation is among the book's many contributions to improving prison policy.

In discussing the management of prison gangs and disruptive groups, the manual advises that the strategy should be to respond to the specific nature of the problem. Where gang activity is rare and a gang culture is not in place, the transfer of gang members out of State may be an effective preventive mechanism. Where gang membership is large, but is only a small proportion of the inmate population, effective control may be achieved by housing known gang members in separate facilities. Where gangs are already entrenched in the institutional culture, prisons must find strategies, such as gang intelligence programs and prosecutorial units, to lessen the impact of gang activities on the nongang inmate population and to reduce gang influence. In examining institutional disturbances, the manual addresses the causes of disturbances, stages in the development of a major disturbance, early warning systems, the management of institutional disturbances, specialized resources for institutional control, and a return to normalcy. A section on staff training discusses general legal considerations in training, the role of the training academy versus the role of the institution, training exercises, and training for special units. Other sections of the manual address post-disturbance activities, case studies, and legal aspects of the management of prison gangs and disturbances.
