States Code is amended by adding at the end the following
new section:

oner in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, con-
cerning any aspect of such prisoner’s incarceration until
any administrative remedy procedures available are ex-
hausted. This section applies to all actions regardless of
the nominal party defendant. The fact that the adminis-
trative remedies do not include all the possible procedures
and forms of recovery that are available in the civil action
does not render such administrative remedies inadequate
or excuse the failure to exhaust them’’.
