	Federal Bureau of Prisons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Federal Bureau of Prisons is a subdivision of the United States Department of Justice, and is responsible for the administration of the federal prison system.
		The Bureau was established in 1930 to provide more progressive and humane care for Federal inmates, to professionalize the prison service, and to ensure consistent and centralized administration of the 11 Federal prisons in operation at the time.
		As of 2006, the Bureau consists of more than 106 institutions, 6 regional offices, a Central Office in Washington D.C. (headquarters), 2 staff training centers, and 28 community corrections offices, and is responsible for the custody and care of approximately 185,000 Federal offenders.

	Preventing Disclosure of Classified Information in Prisons
		It is not the intention of the Bureau of Prisons that the restrictions imposed in these special cases routinely include complete curtailment of privileges, including all means of access, but rather the regulation is directed to allowing the imposition of appropriate limitations, as needed to prevent acts of violence and terrorism.
		The Bureau of Prisons is not aware of any further revision that may be made to more effectively achieve the intent of the rule without increasing the potential for acts of violence and terrorism.
		The Bureau of Prisons has determined that this rule is not a significant regulatory action for the purpose of E.O. 12866, and accordingly this rule was not reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.

		Prisons remained overcrowded in 2000: twenty-two states and the federal prison system operated at 100 percent or more of their highest capacity.
		Super-max prisoners had almost no access to educational or recreational activities or other sources of mental stimulation and were handcuffed, shackled and escorted by officers whenever they left their cells.

	Prisons: Curb terror-suspect communication - Boston.com
		Wary of militants ordering attacks from behind bars, the federal Bureau of Prisons is seeking to sharply restrict communication between suspected terrorist inmates and the outside world.
		The new measure would let Prisons Bureau officials curb communications without that order, and by using their own intelligence, not just that of other federal agencies.
		Traci Billingsley, a Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman, said the security measure was one in a series since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and unrelated to the California case.

	BUREAU OF PRISONS DISCLOSURE OF RECORDED INMATE TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS
		The first question is the extent to which BOP officials may take tape recordings made for prison security and administration purposes and disclose their contents to outside law enforcement officials for reasons unrelated to institutional purposes.
		Courts have concluded that prison monitoring occurs in the ordinary course of duties if conducted pursuant to an established policy that is related to institutional security, generally applicable rather than directed at a particular inmate, and made known to inmates.
		Similarly, if a prison that maintained a general policy of random monitoring (or random screening of monitored calls) decided to monitor or review all telephone conversations of certain inmates at the behest of outside law enforcement officers, a court might find the monitoring beyond the ordinary course of duties.

	FIDUCIARY OBLIGATIONS REGARDING BUREAU OF PRISONS COMMISSARY FUND
		Moreover, the BOP retained the authority to determine whether and how much of the profits from commissary operations would be distributed to the Welfare Fund to be disbursed for the benefit of the inmate population as a whole.
		Instead of requiring the BOP to channel all or a portion of the profits from commissary operations into the Welfare Fund to be disbursed for the benefit of the inmate body as a whole, Circular No. 2244 merely affords the BOP the discretion to do so.
		It would be permissible under the rules for the BOP to channel all the profits from the operation of the commissaries back into the Commissary Fund for the future operation of the commissaries, and disburse no funds for the benefit of the inmate population as a whole.
