-STATUTE-
      The Federal penal and correctional institutions shall be so
    planned and limited in size as to facilitate the development of an
    integrated system which will assure the proper classification and
    segregation of Federal prisoners according to the nature of the
    offenses committed, the character and mental condition of the
    prisoners, and such other factors as should be considered in
    providing an individualized system of discipline, care, and
    treatment of the persons committed to such institutions.

    reasons", was omitted as unnecessary.

    ed., providing for execution of sentences in houses of correction
    or reformation; and section 748 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed.,

    sentence shall be served.
      "(b) The Attorney General may designate as a place of confinement
    any available, suitable, and appropriate institution or facility,

    was convicted, and may at any time transfer a person from one place
    of confinement to another.
      "(c) The Attorney General may extend the limits of the place of
    confinement of a prisoner as to whom there is reasonable cause to
    believe he will honor his trust, by authorizing him, under
    prescribed conditions, to - 
        "(1) visit a specifically designated place or places for a
      period not to exceed thirty days and return to the same or
      another institution or facility. An extension of limits may be
      granted to permit a visit to a dying relative, attendance at the
      funeral of a relative, the obtaining of medical services not
      otherwise available, the contacting of prospective employers, the
      establishment or reestablishment of family and community ties or
      for any other significant reason consistent with the public
      interest; or
        "(2) work at paid employment or participate in a training
      program in the community on a voluntary basis while continuing as
      a prisoner of the institution or facility to which he is
      committed, provided that - 
          "(i) representatives of local union central bodies or similar
        labor union organizations are consulted;
          "(ii) such paid employment will not result in the
        displacement of employed workers, or be applied in skills,
        crafts, or trades in which there is a surplus of available
        gainful labor in the locality, or impair existing contracts for
        services; and
          "(iii) the rates of pay and other conditions of employment
        will not be less than those paid or provided for work of
        similar nature in the locality in which the work is to be
        performed.
      A prisoner authorized to work at paid employment in the community
      under this subsection may be required to pay, and the Attorney
      General is authorized to collect, such costs incident to the
      prisoner's confinement as the Attorney General deems appropriate
      and reasonable. Collections shall be deposited in the Treasury of
      the United States as miscellaneous receipts.

    section shall extend to all persons committed to the National
    Training School for Boys."

    limits to permit establishment or reestablishment of family and
    community ties and struck out "only" after "may be granted".

    first unnumbered par. and struck out "or his authorized
    representative" after "Attorney General of the United States".

    third unnumbered par., inserted "or facility" after "appropriate
    institution", substituted "may at any time transfer a person from

    transferred from one institution to another", and made minor
    changes in language.
      Subsecs. (c), (d). Pub. L. 89-176 added subsecs. (c) and (d).

      Said section 762 was condensed and simplified and extended to all

    merely declaratory of existing law. (See section 1 of this title
    classifying offenses and notes thereunder.)
      The second paragraph is derived from said section 753f of title
    18, U.S.C., 1940 ed.
