the names of such prisoners;
the community treatment center addresses of such prisoners;
the dates of birth of such prisoners;
the Federal Bureau of Investigation numbers assigned to such prisoners;
photographs and fingerprints of such prisoners; and
the nature of the offenses against the United States of which each such prisoner has been convicted and the factual circumstances relating to such offenses.
Any law enforcement agency which receives information under this subsection shall not disseminate such information outside of such agency.
the term “facility” shall include a residential community treatment center; and
the term “relative” shall mean a spouse, child (including stepchild, adopted child or child as to whom the prisoner, though not a natural parent, has acted in the place of a parent), parent (including a person who, though not a natural parent, has acted in the place of a parent), brother, or sister.
