Community Corrections
Center (CCC)
Utilization and
Transfer Procedure

1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE. To provide guidelines to staff regarding
the effective use of Community Corrections Centers (CCCs). This
Program Statement defines placement criteria for offenders,
requires that staff members start the placement process in a
timely manner, and defines the circumstances when inmates may
refuse Community Corrections (CC) programs. It also establishes
an operational philosophy for CCC referrals that, whenever
possible, eligible inmates are to be released to the community
through a CCC unless there is some impediment as outlined herein.
CCCs provide an excellent transitional environment for inmates
nearing the end of their sentences. The level of structure and
supervision assures accountability and program opportunities in
employment counseling and placement, substance abuse, and daily
life skills.
One reason for referring an inmate to a CCC is to increase public
protection by aiding the transition of the offender into the
community. Participating in community-based transitional
services may reduce the likelihood of an inmate with limited
resources from recidivating, whereas an inmate who is released
directly from the institution to the community may return to a
criminal lifestyle. While clearly dangerous inmates should be
separated from the community until completing their sentences,
other eligible inmates should generally be referred to CCCs to
maximize the chances of successful reintegration into society.
Finally, the scope of this Program Statement has been extended to
include CCC consideration/placement of District of Columbia
Department of Corrections inmates.

STATUTORY AUTHORITY.

18 U.S.C. § 3624(c), provides:

"The Bureau of Prisons shall, to the extent practicable,
assure that a prisoner serving a term of imprisonment spends
a reasonable part, not to exceed six months, of the last ten
per centum of the term to be served under conditions that
will afford the prisoner a reasonable opportunity to adjust

PS 7310.04
12/16/98
Page 4
to and prepare for the prisoner’s reentry into the
community. The authority provided by this subsection may be
used to place a prisoner in home confinement. The United
States Probation Office shall, to the extent practicable,
offer assistance to a prisoner during such pre-release
custody."
18 U.S.C. § 3621(b) provides:
"The Bureau of Prisons shall designate the place of the
prisoner's imprisonment. The Bureau may designate any
available penal or correctional facility . . . the Bureau
determines to be appropriate and suitable." A CCC meets the
definition of a "penal or correctional facility."
Therefore, the Bureau is not restricted by § 3624(c) in
designating a CCC for an inmate and may place an inmate in a CCC
for more than the "last ten per centum of the term," or more than
six months, if appropriate.
Section 3624(c), however, does restrict the Bureau in placing
inmates on home confinement to the last six months or 10% of the
sentence, whichever is less.
6. PRETRIAL/HOLDOVER AND/OR DETAINEE INMATES. This Program
Statement does not apply to pretrial, holdover, or detainee
inmates.
7.

COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAMS

a. Community Corrections Centers (CCC). CCCs, commonly
referred to as "halfway houses," provide suitable residence,
structured programs, job placement, and counseling, while the
inmates' activities are closely monitored. All CCCs offer drug
testing and counseling for alcohol and drug-related problems.
During their stay, inmates are required to pay a subsistence
charge to help defray the cost of their confinement; this charge
is 25% of their gross income, not to exceed the average daily
cost of their CCC placements. Failure to make subsistence
payments may result in disciplinary action.
These contract facilities, located throughout the United
States, provide two program components: the Community
Corrections Component and the Prerelease Component:
(1) The Community Corrections Component is designed as the
most restrictive option. Except for employment and other
structured program activities, an inmate in this component is

PS 7310.04
12/16/98
Page 5
restricted to the CCC. An inmate shall ordinarily be placed in
the Community Corrections Component upon arrival at the CCC.
This orientation period normally lasts for two weeks or
until the inmate has demonstrated to CCC staff the responsibility
necessary to function in the community. Based on their
professional judgment, CCC staff shall determine when an inmate
is prepared to advance to the Prerelease Component.
(2) The Prerelease Component is designed to assist inmates
making the transition from an institution setting to the
community. These inmates have more access to the community and
family members through weekend and evening passes.
b. Community Corrections Programs. In addition to a CCC's
traditional services, the Bureau also has the following
community-based programs. Referral procedures may be described
in independent Bureau directives issuances. The Community
Corrections Manager (CCM) reviews the inmate's characteristics
and the recommendations noted in the referral package to
determine if one of the following programs (if available) may be
more appropriate than traditional CCC placement.
(1) Comprehensive Sanctions Center (CSC). The CSC concept,
initiated by the Bureau, with the extensive cooperation and
teamwork of U.S. Probation and CCC contractors, was developed to
provide courts with a wider range of sentencing options and to
facilitate the development and implementation of community
program plans tailored to the individual needs of prerelease
inmates.
The CSC is designed to meet the needs of higher risk
prerelease inmates and consists of six different levels of
supervision, ranging from 24-hour confinement to Home
Confinement.
It also may have an intensive treatment component consisting
of substance abuse education and treatment, life skills training,
mental health counseling, education, employment assistance, and
mentoring. The inmate's progress is systematically reviewed by a
Program Review Team (PRT), consisting of representatives from the
Bureau, U.S. Probation, and the CCC.
(2) Mothers and Infants Together (MINT). MINT is an
alternative residential program that promotes bonding and
parenting skills for low risk female inmates who are pregnant.
The inmate is placed in the program two months prior to delivery
and remains there for three months after delivery.
(3) Home Confinement. Home Confinement is a generic term
used to cover all circumstances in which an inmate is required to
remain at home during non-working hours of the day. Electronic

PS 7310.04
12/16/98
Page 6
monitoring equipment is sometimes used to monitor compliance with
the program's conditions. These programs provide an opportunity
for inmates to assume increasing levels of responsibility, while,
at the same time, providing sufficient restrictions to promote
community safety and convey the sanctioning value of the
sentence.
Home Confinement provides an option for inmates who do not
need the structure of a residential facility. Except for inmates
who are initially sentenced to and graduate from the Intensive
Confinement Center Program, statutory provisions limit the length
of Home Confinement to the last 10% of the sentence, or six
months, whichever is less. Inmates are required to pay
subsistence of 25% of their gross income to defray the costs of
Home Confinement and electronic monitoring.
The Bureau is involved in two Home Confinement programs:
Home Confinement operates from the Bureau's own network of CCCs
and the U.S. Probation Division program.
(a) CCC Contractors. The first form of Home Confinement
is CCC contractor-operated programs. In these programs, CCC
staff monitor the inmate. Currently, only a few of these
programs use electronic monitoring equipment. Supervision is
provided by daily telephone contacts and periodic personal
contacts in the home and workplace.
(b) U.S. Probation Office. The second form of Home
Confinement involves placing federal inmates in programs operated
by the U.S. Probation Office. These programs use electronic
monitoring equipment with U.S. Probation Officers (USPO)
providing supervision.
(4) Transitional Services Program (TSP). The communitybased transition phase of the Bureau's Residential Drug Treatment
Program is designed to complement the accomplishments and
continue the institutional program's treatment plan. It
reinforces the inmate's personal responsibility to lead a drugfree lifestyle through personal accountability for choices,
confrontation of negative thinking patterns, and instruction in
basic social skills. Inmates who successfully complete the
Residential Drug Treatment Program's institutional phase should
normally be considered for the maximum 180 day period of CCC
placement, if they are otherwise eligible.

PS 7310.04
12/16/98
Page 7
(5) Intensive Confinement Center (ICC). A lengthy period
of Community Corrections Center confinement follows the
completion of the ICC program's institutional phase. The CCC
time is divided among the restrictive Community Corrections
Component, the Prerelease Component, and Home Confinement.
Specific referral procedures are outlined in the ICC Program
Statement.
8. RELEASE PLAN. Staff shall begin release planning at an
inmate's first team meeting, normally the initial classification,
and shall continue throughout the inmate's confinement. The
following guidelines apply:
a. Planning early in an inmate's period of confinement is
necessary to ensure release preparation needs are identified and
appropriate release preparation programs are recommended.
b. Preliminary decisions regarding eligibility for CC Programs
are to be made well in advance of the last year of confinement.
c. A final and specific release preparation plan, including a
decision as to CCC referral, is normally established at a team
meeting no later than 11 to 13 months before an inmate's
projected release date.
9.

CCC CRITERIA AND REFERRAL GUIDELINES

a. Regular Referrals. Staff shall make recommendations for
CCC placements based on assessments of inmate needs for services,
public safety, and the necessity of the Bureau to manage its
inmate population responsibly. CCCs are a program element and
are not to be used as a reward for good institutional behavior,
although an inmate's institutional adjustment may be a factor in
making a referral determination.
A number of factors must be weighed to determine the length of
CCC placement for inmates, including their individual needs and
existing community resources. Ordinarily, inmates with shorter
sentences do not require maximum CCC placement due to reduced
transition needs. Additionally, inmates who are required to
spend a portion of time in a CCC as a condition of release (i.e.
supervised release or court order) do not require an extended
Bureau CCC placement. For example, if the Unit Team determines
the inmate needs a six month CCC placement, but the inmate is
required to stay in a CCC for 90 days as a condition of release,
then the institution shall ordinarily refer the inmate for a 6090 day CCC placement.

PS 7310.04
12/16/98
Page 8
Referrals to CCM offices should include a recommendation
regarding the length of stay (range), such as recommending 60 to
90 days or 90 to 120 days, etc. This range of at least 30 days
allows the CCM to match population needs with budgetary and CCC
bed space resources, a process which requires this flexibility.
However, there will be cases when the institution, for various
management reasons, wants the CCM to place the inmate not earlier
than a specific date. Then, the CCC referral form should specify
a recommended placement date rather than a range and further
state that the CCM should not adjust that date. The CCM shall
adhere to the recommended date, with any adjustment only being
downward if budget and/or bed space constraints are a factor.
The following CCC referral guidelines apply:
(1) An inmate may be referred up to 180 days, with
placement beyond 180 days highly unusual, and only possible with
extraordinary justification. In such circumstances, the Warden
shall contact the Regional Director for approval and the Chief
USPO in the inmate's sentencing district to determine whether the
sentencing judge objects to such placement.
(2) The ultimate goal is to maximize each eligible inmate's
chances for successful release and a law-abiding life.
(3) When an inmate has a history of escape or failure in
one or more CC Programs, careful review and consideration should
be given regarding the suitability of participation and the
length of placement.
(4) Inmates with minor medical conditions or disabilities
may also be considered for community placement. Inmates are
required to assume financial responsibility for their health care
while assigned to community programs. Such inmates must provide
sufficient evidence to institution staff of their ability to pay
for health care while at a CCC prior to the referral being made.
When an inmate is unable or unwilling to bear the cost of
necessary health care, the inmate shall be denied placement.
(5) Inmates who have been approved for CCC referral and are
otherwise appropriate for camp placement shall be transferred to
a camp for intermediate placement. The inmate should have
completed the Institution Release Preparation Program at the
parent institution. The parent institution shall complete the
CCC referral packet and the camp should be closer to the inmate’s
release residence. This process should be completed to allow the

PS 7310.04
12/16/98
Page 9
inmate a minimum of a 60 day placement at the camp prior to the
acceptance date at the CCC.
b. MINT Referrals. Female inmates are eligible to enter the
program at the CCC generally during their last two months of
pregnancy. After birth, the mother is allowed three additional
months to bond with the child. The mother shall then be returned
to an institution to complete her sentence. If she is eligible
for prerelease services, she may remain at that facility only if
she is going to be supervised in that judicial district.
The CEO may approve early or extended placements with a
recommendation by the treating obstetrician and Clinical
Director’s concurrence. A placement extending beyond 180 days
requires the Regional Director’s approval. Direct court
commitments shall have a secondary designation noted on the
Inmate Load and Security/Designation form (BP-337). This shall
be used to determine the institution responsible for the inmate's
medical expenses while she is confined in the MINT Program.
Authority to pay immediate post-natal care of the child born to
an inmate while in custody is derived from administrative
discretion when the Bureau finds itself responsible for the cost
by default (no other resources can be compelled to pay). It is
reasonable that the Bureau provides for the child’s medical
expenses for the first three days after routine vaginal birth or
up to seven days for a Cesarean section.
Prior to the birth, the mother must make arrangements for a
custodian to take care of the child. At this time, the CEO shall
ensure the person or agency taking custody of the child is also
asked to be responsibile for medical care costs beyond three days
after birth. (Note: This may be extended by the Regional
Director for an additional seven days for extenuating
circumstances on a case-by-case basis.) The person(s) receiving
custody of the child should sign a Statement of Responsibility
for medical care costs, clearly indicating that the signing party
accepts financial responsibility. Unit Management staff are
responsible for obtaining this statement, and forwarding copies
to the Health Services Administrator (HSA) for placement in the
HSA's outside hospitalization file and to the Controller (see the
Sample Statement of Responsibility (Attachment D)).
Health Services staff shall confirm an inmate's pregnancy and
evaluate her medical condition. Health Services staff shall
indicate whether CCC placement is medically appropriate and
document this on the Medical Evaluation for Transfer of Inmates
to CCC Type Facility (BP-351) which shall be forwarded to the
Unit Team.
When the Unit Team has concerns regarding the appropriateness
of a CCC placement (such as criminal history, severity of current

PS 7310.04
12/16/98
Page 10
offense), procedures will be followed according to Section
10.i.(2), Limitations on Eligibility for All CCC Referrals.
The following CCC referral guidelines apply in addition to the
guidelines provided for regular referrals:
(1) The inmate must be pregnant upon commitment with an
expected delivery date prior to release.
(2) The inmate or guardian must assume financial
responsibility for the child's care, medical and support, while
residing at the CCC. Should the inmate or the guardian be unable
or unwilling to bear the child's financial cost, the inmate may
be transferred back to her parent institution.
(3) An inmate who becomes pregnant while on furlough, or
has more than five years remaining to serve on her sentence(s),
or plans to place her baby up for adoption shall not be referred
for MINT placement.
Referrals to CCMs should state a specific date of placement.
This date should be approximately two months prior to the
inmate's expected delivery date.
The CCC's Terminal Report should fully describe the inmate's
experience in, and reaction to, the MINT Program. It should also
summarize counseling received in the program and include followup medical or program recommendations for the institution to
facilitate the inmate's transition.
Inmates in need of foster care placement assistance shall be
referred to the institution social worker, or if the institution
does not have a social worker, staff shall contact a social
worker in the community for foster care placement assistance.
10. LIMITATIONS ON ELIGIBILITY FOR ALL CCC REFERRALS. Inmates
in the following categories shall not ordinarily participate in
CCC programs:
a. Inmates who are assigned a "Sex Offender" Public Safety
Factor.
b. Inmates who are assigned a "Deportable Alien" Public Safety
Factor.
c. Inmates who require inpatient medical, psychological, or
psychiatric treatment.

PS 7310.04
12/16/98
Page 11
d. Inmates who refuse to participate in the Inmate Financial
Responsibility Program.
e. Inmates who refuse to participate, withdraw, are expelled,
or otherwise fail to meet attendance and examination requirements
in a required Drug Abuse Education Course.
f. Inmates with unresolved pending charges, or detainers,
which will likely lead to arrest, conviction, or confinement.
g. Ordinarily, inmates serving sentences of six months or
less.
h. Inmates who refuse to participate in the Institution
Release Preparation Program.
i. Inmates who pose a significant threat to the community.
These are inmates whose current offense or behavioral history
suggests a substantial or continuing threat to the community.
Examples are inmates with repeated, serious institution rule
violations, a history of repetitive violence, escape, or
association with violent or terrorist organizations.
To determine whether an inmate poses a significant threat, a
number of factors must be considered. The key consideration is
public safety when assessing the inmate's proclivity for violence
or escape against their placement needs.
A waiver of the Public Safety Factor is not required for
inmates transferred via unescorted transfer to CCC placements.
Ordinarily, inmates with a single incident of violence should
not automatically be excluded from CCC placement. As noted
earlier, clearly dangerous inmates should be excluded from CCC
placement.
(1) When there exists a basis for significant doubt
regarding whether the inmate currently poses a threat to the
community, the Warden should consider contacting the Chief USPO
in the release district (see the Sample letter (Attachment A)) to
seek guidance on the referral's appropriateness. A copy of this
letter shall be maintained in the Inmate Central File.
(2) When an inmate is excluded under this subsection, a
memorandum, signed by the Warden, shall be prepared and placed in
the Inmate Central File to explain the rationale for exclusion
from CC Programs.
j. Inmates whose admission and release status is pretrial,
holdover, or detainee.

PS 7310.04
12/16/98
Page 12
11. REFUSALS. When an eligible inmate refuses CCC placement,
staff shall investigate the inmate's reasons. Staff may honor an
inmate's refusal of CCC placement.
Suitable reasons to decline placement might include previous CCC
failure, potential conflict with other residents, and location or
remoteness from release residence. When the inmate does not
present a suitable reason, and the unit team believes that a
placement would serve a correctional need, the unit team shall
make every effort to encourage participation.
When an inmate refuses placement, a memorandum, signed by the
Associate Warden (Programs) and the inmate, shall be placed in
the Inmate Central File. The memorandum should document the
inmate's rationale for refusal and all unit team effort to
encourage participation.
12. CCC REFERRAL PROCEDURES. Normally 11 to 13 months before
each inmate's probable release date, the unit team shall decide
whether to refer an inmate to a Community Corrections program.
Medical staff shall notify the inmate's Case Manager promptly
when a pregnancy is verified. Upon notification, the unit team
shall decide if a MINT referral to a Community Corrections
program will be made.
a. Referral to CCM. Staff shall use the Institution Referral
form (BP-210) (Attachment B) when referring an inmate for
transfer to a CCC. Information included in the Additional
Information (11) and Specific Release Preparation Needs (12)
sections must be as specific as possible regarding the inmate's
needs.
Attachment B contains instructions for completing the
Institution Referral form and related materials. Signed copies
of the "Community Based Program Agreement" must be included with
all CCC referrals. The Warden is the final decision-making
authority for all CCC referrals the unit team recommends.
If the Warden approves the CCC referral, the unit team shall
forward two copies of the Institutional Referral form and
appropriate attachments to the CCM. Staff shall enter the DST
SENTRY assignment of "W CCC ACT.” Copies of appropriate
documents are prepared so that one may be forwarded to the CCC
while the CCM retains the other for reference.
A separate packet with appropriate copies shall be forwarded to
the Transitional Services Manager (TSM) in the receiving region
where the inmate is being released for graduates of Residential
Drug Abuse Programs. Staff are referred to the Drug Abuse
Programs Manual for responsibilities and/or documentation
requirements. If the CCC referral packet is mailed prior to

PS 7310.04
12/16/98
Page 13
completion of the Treatment Summary and Referral form (BP-549),
the Drug Abuse Treatment Coordinator shall forward the completed
BP-549 form to the Transitional Services Manager in the region of
the inmate's release and provide a copy to the unit team.
The referral packet shall be forwarded to the CCM at least 60
days prior to the maximum recommended range or date. However,
additional time may be required for processing inmates with
special community-based program needs (i.e. mental health, drug
transition, disabilities, and inmates with higher security
needs).
For MINT referrals, the referral packet shall ordinarily be
forwarded to the CCM at least 60 days prior to the recommended
date. If the inmate is committed to Bureau custody or arrives at
the designated facility at any stage during the second trimester
of pregnancy, the referral shall be forwarded to the CCM as
quickly as possible.
If an inmate is scheduled for release via parole, and CCC
placement is for 45 days or less, a copy of correspondence
directed to the U.S. Parole Commission (USPC) outlining the
release plan and requesting parole certificates, as well as
copies of the USPO’s letter recommending release plan approval,
must be included in the referral package.
b. Mandatory CCC Residence. When an inmate must reside in a
CCC as a condition of parole, mandatory release, or supervised
release supervision after release from confinement, the
institution shall refer the case to the appropriate CCM, who
shall refer the case for placement under these procedures:
Institutions shall notify the USPC of cases that cannot be
placed (see specific information in Attachment B). Inmates in
this category should not be referred for transitional purposes
and have this time "stacked" on to the Court or USPC's ordered
period of CCC placement.
Inmates releasing from an institution via 3621E CMPL or 4046C
CMPL, or who have mandatory CCC residence as a condition of
parole, mandatory release, or supervised release supervision,
should be referred for release preparation transfer to a CCC, and
the CCM should work with U.S. Probation to waive the CCC
requirement during the period of supervision. The CCM shall
attempt to affect the 180 day release preparation placement for
inmates releasing via 3621E CMPL or 4046C CMPL. The CCM shall
keep the appropriate U.S. Probation Office apprised of the
inmate's progress toward reaching the goals of Community
Corrections programming. Should the USPO still require CCC
placement as a condition of supervision, the CCM will ordinarily
honor the request.

PS 7310.04
12/16/98
Page 14
c. Referral to CCC. CCMs shall immediately forward referrals
to appropriate CCCs. CCC staff shall notify CCMs in writing of
acceptance or rejection. When referrals are accepted, CCCs will
send acceptance letters, subsistence collection agreements, and
CCC rules and regulations to inmates in care of their Unit
Managers. Institution staff shall ensure acknowledgment forms
are returned to CCCs. CCMs shall monitor referrals for timely
response from contractors.
d. CCC Rejection. CCC staff must provide specific reasons, in
writing, to CCMs when they reject referrals. In such cases, CCMs
shall determine if further discussion with the CCC staff is
appropriate or, if not, referral to an alternate resource is
possible. When all placement options have been exhausted, the
CCM shall inform the referring institution Warden, with copies to
the Unit Manager, that the inmate cannot be transferred to a CCC
and the reason for rejection.
e. Transfer Date. When CCMs are notified of an inmate's
acceptance by a CCC, a transfer date to the CCC is to be
established, and the CCM shall enter the SENTRY destination
assignment transaction. The effective date shall be the approved
future transfer date.
Destination assignments, "DST,” have been established in SENTRY
for contract CCCs and work release programs. These assignments
use the CCM facility code followed by the contract location code.
CCMs may add their contract location destination assignments for
inmates in any Bureau facility. When an inmate arrives at the
CCC and is admitted to the location (in SENTRY), the destination
assignment is automatically removed.
These assignments shall appear on the CCM and institution
SENTRY daily log. Institution staff may display rosters of
inmates approved for CCC transfer, and CCMs may display lists of
pending arrivals by contract location.
The location description (name of the CCC) shall appear on the
inmate's profile. If, for any reason, an inmate cannot be

PS 7310.04
12/16/98
Page 15
transferred to a CCC on the scheduled date, institution staff
shall notify the CCM immediately.
13.

PREPARATION FOR TRANSFER

a. Trust Fund Account. No later than three weeks prior to the
approved transfer date, unit staff are to determine the amount in
the inmate's trust fund account that may be given to the inmate
at the time of transfer. A check or draft for the balance (with
the inmate as payee) shall be sent to the CCC immediately.
In accordance with the Program Statement on Telephone
Regulations for Inmates, inmates transferring to CCCs shall be
qualified as "exception" cases during the three-week period prior
to the approved transfer date for purposes of placing collect
telephone calls.
Institution staff should use discretion in giving inmates large
amounts of cash, and if there is reason to question an inmate's
ability to handle money responsibly, the amount may be reduced.
For inmates who have no funds or resources, unit staff shall
determine the extent to which a gratuity is indicated and shall
initiate paperwork, if appropriate (see the Program Statement on
Release Gratuities, Transportation, and Clothing).
If the institution is holding savings bonds for an inmate, or
if an inmate has a savings account at a local bank, the unit
staff is to ensure these financial resources are available at the
release destination when the inmate arrives.
b. Documentation to CCC. No later than two weeks prior to an
inmate's approved transfer date, institution staff shall forward
the following documents to the CCC:
(1) Authorized Unescorted Commitments and Transfers (BP385), with current photograph;
(2)

Original of the Transfer Order;

(3) Copy of Furlough Application and Approval Record, with
specific travel method and itinerary;
(4) Receipt for CCC rules and regulations, if applicable
(this may include the CCC's subsistence agreement form); and,
c. Clothing. No later than one week prior to an inmate's
approved transfer, staff shall make arrangements for release
clothing. Suitable release clothing shall be provided as
described in the Program Statement on Release Gratuities,
Transportation, and Clothing. For non-MINT referrals, at a
minimum, release clothing is to include adequate clothing to

PS 7310.04
12/16/98
Page 16
complete a job search and perform work. Additionally, an outer
garment, seasonably suitable for weather conditions at the
inmate's release destination, shall be provided.
d. Medication. No later than one week prior to an inmate's
approved transfer, Health Services staff shall review the
inmate's medical record to determine if the inmate is on
continuous medication. When an inmate is transferred to a CCC, a
30-day supply of chronic medication shall be provided pursuant to
a new prescription. If an inmate is prescribed a controlled
substance, assistance from the CCM may be required to determine
if the CCC can accommodate the inmate’s special medication needs.
Staff should refer to the Health Services Manual for further
clarification. CCC staff are to safeguard, store, and dispense
controlled substances in accordance with the terms of their
Bureau contracts.
e. Identification. It is essential that each inmate have some
acceptable form of identification while at a CCC. Therefore,
during Institution Release Preparation Programs, unit staff shall
assist inmates to acquire social security cards (mandatory) and,
if possible, drivers license, and copies of their birth
certificates. Additional photo identification may be required if
the inmate is using air transportation. These items may be given
to an inmate on the transfer date, or mailed to CCCs prior to
transfer with the materials described in subsection b. above.
f. Community Custody Status. An inmate must be assigned
"COMMUNITY" custody status prior to transfer to a CCC. Unit
staff shall state the inmate’s current custody status if other
than "COMMUNITY" on the Transfer Order in the Custody
Classification section. Next to the current custody, unit staff
shall type "Community custody effective on (whatever date the
Warden deems appropriate)."
g. Parole Commission Review of Disciplinary Action. An inmate
who has had a discipline hearing resulting in a Discipline
Hearing Officer finding, after USPC action to establish a
presumptive or effective parole date, may not be transferred to a
CCC until the Commission has considered the disciplinary report
and final action has been taken.
h. Sentence Calculation. The Inmate Systems Manager (ISM) of
the sending institution shall ensure that an inmate's old law
sentence computation is "complete" with all appropriate good time
entered before the inmate departs the institution.
i. Final Review of 3621(e) Eligibility. The decision to grant
an inmate early release is a significant one for the Bureau;
therefore, it is essential that unit staff carefully review
relevant statutory and regulatory criteria before an inmate’s
final release under 18 U.S.C. § 3261(e). Specifically, the Unit

PS 7310.04
12/16/98
Page 17
Manager or designee must ensure completion of "Final Review of
3621(e) Eligibility" (Attachment K from the Drug Abuse Programs
Manual), before unescorted transfer to a CCC or release to a
detainer (Drug Abuse Programs Manual, Inmate). Attachment K must
be completed and routed to the Warden. Ordinarily, Attachment K
should be routed to the Warden along with other CCC release
paperwork (i.e., transfer order, furlough application, etc.);
however, a copy of Attachment K is not forwarded to the CCC.
The Drug Abuse Program (DAP) Coordinator and CMC must review
and sign Attachment K prior to the Warden's review. The DAP
Coordinator's review is to ensure that items 5, 7, and 8 are
accurate. Once Attachment K is signed and dated, the Unit
Manager must ensure that a copy is filed in the disclosable
portion of Section 5 (release processing) in the Inmate Central
File. The original Attachment K shall be forwarded to the ISM
for filing in the Judgment and Commitment (J&C) file.
No inmate shall be released from an institution to a CCC (or
detainer) until the ISM receives the Attachment K with
appropriate signatures.
j. Education. To assist an inmate in securing employment, the
inmate should have a resume’, a copy of his or her education
transcript, GED certificate, and any other education/vocational
training certificates completed during his or her confinement.
k. Exemption from Time Requirements. When transfer dates have
not been established in time for staff to implement the above
procedures within the time requirements, they shall be
accomplished as soon thereafter as possible.
14.

TRANSFER AND ARRIVAL NOTIFICATION

a. Transportation Costs. Staff are referred to the Program
Statement on Furloughs for procedures regarding transportation
costs for inmates scheduled for transfer to a CCC.
b. Notification of Travel Schedule. On the date of transfer,
the sending institution's ISM shall notify the CCM via BOPNet
GroupWise of the inmate's departure and travel schedule. A copy
of this notification shall be placed in the inmate's J&C file.
If GroupWise is inoperable, the notification shall be made by
telephone and documented in the J&C file.
c. Arrival Notification. CCC staff shall notify CCMs
immediately when an inmate arrives as a transfer from an
institution. Immediately means:
(1)

Upon arrival, if during regular CCM working hours; or

(2)

At the first opportunity during regular CCM working

PS 7310.04
12/16/98
Page 18
hours if arrival is during evenings, weekends, or holidays.
d. Electronic Notification. By close of the business day
following an inmate's scheduled arrival, the CCM shall "admit"
the inmate in SENTRY, if the CCC has confirmed the inmate's
arrival. When GroupWise is inoperable, notification of arrival
shall be made by telephone to the sending institution's ISM, and
the inmate "admitted" in SENTRY at the earliest opportunity.
e. Escape. If an inmate has not arrived at the CCC within a
reasonable period after the scheduled arrival time (no later than
24 hours), the CCM shall report the inmate as an escapee. Then,
the ISM at the sending institution must be notified immediately
by telephone or GroupWise.
The ISM at the sending institution is responsible for updating
SENTRY to indicate the change in release status from "furlough
transfer" to "escape" as of the date the inmate fails to report.
The ISM at the sending institution also shall make the inmate's
sentence computation inoperative as of the date following the
escape. Staff at the sending institution shall write an incident
report and conduct a UDC/DHO hearing in absentia. The sending
institution shall make all notifications required by the Program
Statement on Escapes/Deaths Notification. The ISM at the sending
institution shall also notify the FBI of the inmate escape. The
ISM at the sending institution must also fax a copy of the Notice
of Escaped Federal Prisoner (BP-393) to the FBI, U.S. Marshals
Service, local law enforcement officials, and law enforcement at
the inmate's home of record. The Inmate Central File is to be
retained at the sending institution.
The CCM shall notify the U.S. Marshals Service in the CCC
district. The CCM shall also notify the Regional Director, the
Central Office, and the sending institution via GroupWise of the
escape.
f. Arrival Confirmation. The ISM at the sending institution
shall use SENTRY to confirm an inmate's arrival at a CCC. When
an inmate's arrival is confirmed, the ISM shall forward the
following documents to the CCM by certified mail:

PS 7310.04
12/16/98

(2) Victim/Witness Notification form (BP-323), if
applicable;
(3) Completed and current committed fine forms and all
related documentation such as the PSI, if applicable;
(4) Copies of conditions of supervised release, if
applicable; and
(5) Appropriate forms and other documentation concerning
final good conduct time awards for an inmate sentenced under the
CCCA.
15. INMATE CENTRAL FILE. The Inmate Central File shall be
retained at the institution consistent with provisions
established in the Program Statement on Inmate Central File,
Privacy Folder, and Parole Mini-files.

Attachment B, Page 2
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETION OF INSTITUTIONAL REFERRAL FOR CCC
PLACEMENT
All federal institutions shall use the standard form
"Institutional Referral for CCC Placement", BP-210, when
referring inmates for community corrections placement in any type
of community program.
The following instructions will be followed when completing the
form:
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Ë

Use the current EMS Community Corrections Directory (BOP
COMM CORR DIR) or BOPDOCS Community Corrections Directory to
determine the appropriate CCM.
Ë

All referrals shall be signed by the Warden.

Ë

Provide the inmate's full committed name and register
number. The inmate's unit should also be included.
Ë

Identification of Unit Manager and GroupWise mailbox
codes will expedite notification.
Ë

Institution name and mailing address allows CCC staff to
send materials directly to the unit manager.
SPECIFIC INFORMATION:
1. Indicate the inmate's city of residence upon release. A
complete address should be included in current progress report.
Indicate the federal district of supervision.
2. The ISM shall insure the anticipated release date provided on
the referral includes all eligible good time earnings. The date
should be an accurate estimate of the date the inmate is to be
released from custody. If release is by parole, only the parole
date needs to be indicated. At the time of this review, the ISM
will insure there are no detainers that would prevent CCC
transfer.
3. Staff specifying a recommended placement date shall further
indicate that the CCM should not adjust that date. (Include this
information in Item 12.) CCMs shall adhere to the recommended
date, with any adjustment only being downward due to budget or
bedspace constraints as a factor.

PS 7310.04
12/16/98
Attachment B, Page 3
For MINT referrals, staff should provide a specific date of
placement, which is normally two months prior to the requested
delivery date. Planned periods of longer than six months require
the Regional Director's approval and the Chief U.S. Probation
Officer in the inmate's sentencing district to determine whether
the judge concurs with the placement. (Include this information
in Item 12.)
4. Indicate the date the report was submitted and attach a copy
of any transmittal memo to the USPC.
5. An inmate who has been scheduled for a statutory interim
hearing may not be transferred to a CCC until after the hearing
or unless the inmate waives the hearing. If neither is the case,
the CCM will hold the referral in abeyance until the matter is
resolved. This information should be included in item 11.
6. Offenders sentenced under the Sentencing Reform Act or the
Anti-Drug Abuse Act may have a term of supervised release
following confinement. Offenders convicted of drug offenses may
have a Special Parole Term.
7. Indicate if the inmate has "aftercare" requirements (must be
imposed as a supervision condition by the U.S. Parole Commission,
or the sentencing court). This helps the CCM select the most
appropriate facility.
8. If the inmate is a Central Inmate Monitoring case, the Warden
has clearance authority on all CIM cases with the exception of
WITSEC cases. The Inmate Monitoring Section, Central Office will
provide CIM clearance for WITSEC cases.
9. If the area of referral is not the sentencing district, staff
will forward release planning materials to the probation office
in the proposed district of supervision. Institution staff
should refer to the Operations Memorandum on Release Planning,
Inmate - Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Between the BOP and
the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts for further
instructions. At the time of the unit team's recommendation for
CCC placement, the case manager should submit release plans to
the USPO if other than the sentencing district. A relocation
acceptance letter should be included in the CCC referral packet.
Additionally, for inmates releasing in their sentencing district,
a copy of the proposed supervised release plan with the final
progress report shall be forwarded to the probation office in the
sentencing district for verification of residence and employment.

PS 7310.04
12/16/98
Attachment B, Page 4
10. The Program Statement on Fines and Costs describes
institution responsibilities for CCC transfers for inmates who
have fines. If the inmate has a committed fine, include this
information in item 11.
11. It is extremely important to include any information that
might have a bearing on the facility's decision to accept the
inmate for placement. Information on outstanding detainers or
pending charges must be included. Indicate if there is a
substance abuse history. Also, indicate if the inmate has
successfully completed the institutional phase of the
comprehensive drug treatment program. If more space is needed,
attach an additional page.
12. Information on special needs of the individual and/or
unusual circumstances is very important for staff in deciding on
acceptance and setting up an individual program plan once the
inmate is accepted. If staff wish to recommend a specific
facility or program, they may include that information here. The
CCM, in managing the CCC population, will consider the referenced
special needs when establishing an acceptance date. Therefore,
detailed and specific comments in this section are very helpful.
If more space is needed, attach an additional page. Prenatal
care needs should be addressed also.
Inmates who are released from institutions with a condition of
parole, mandatory release, or supervised release that requires
they reside in a CCC must be referred for CCC placement prior to
their release. CCMs will notify institutions of acceptance or
rejection.
13. For MINT referrals, indicate the expected date of delivery.
and the projected date of the inmate's return to the parent
institution.

about release plans and resources. A copy of the referral form
is sent to the CUSPO in the sentencing district and the district
of supervision. Other pertinent documents will have already been
sent by the institution to these offices.
Procedures
For inmates being referred to contract facilities, the CCM
will forward the referral to the appropriate facility, with
instructions for the facility director to reply to the CCM with a
copy to the referring institution. In addition to the transfer
date, the facilities letter of acceptance will usually include
documents for the inmate to sign and return prior to transfer.
Such documents should be returned to the CCC by institution staff
with the BP-385(51), transfer order and furlough papers.
The CCM maintains a copy of the referral for reference, should
any questions arise from the facility, USPO, inmate's family or
the institution.
Using institution records, unit staff will complete as much
information as they can on release paperwork. Only the
"unknowns" which must be determined while the inmate is in the
CCC will be left blank. Inmates do not sign release papers
(acknowledging they understand supervision conditions) and
institution staff do not sign "certifying release" prior to an
inmate's transfer. These certifications are done by CCC staff at
the time of an inmate's release.
The institution is responsible for typing all information on
release certificates. The line "now confined in the" shall
specify the name of the CCC from which the inmate is to be
released.
The inmate should sign the space at the bottom of the release
certificate indicating an understanding of the conditions of
release before departure from the CCC. The CCC Director is to
sign the bottom portion of the form as the Chief Executive
Officer verifying the inmate's release.

Handling of

1. [PURPOSE AND SCOPE §541.60. In an effort to maintain a safe
and orderly environment within its institutions, the Bureau of
Prisons may place in controlled housing status an inmate who
tests HIV positive when there is reliable evidence that the
inmate may engage in conduct posing a health risk to another
person.]
This Program Statement establishes procedures to follow when an
inmate who has tested positive for the Human Immunodeficiency
Virus (HIV) indicates by actions or words that he or she is
likely to engage in, or continue to engage in, conduct that poses
a significant threat to transmit the virus to another person.
Specifically, individuals who pose such a concern are to be
considered for placement in a controlled housing status.
If selected for this placement, the inmate is afforded, to the
extent practicable, the privileges afforded to the general
population, except that the opportunity to socialize with others
is limited and closely supervised. The inmate's status is
reviewed regularly, and he or she may be returned to a general
population when the perceived danger is alleviated.
The HIV is transmitted primarily through two very specific
routes:
P
P

blood-to-blood contact (e.g., shared needles) and
sexual fluids to blood contact (sexual practices involving
passage of fluids).

[Bold Type - Rules]
Regular Type - Implementing Information

PS 5214.04
2/4/98
Page 2
To help control the risk and spread of HIV, the Bureau provides
HIV education programs for inmates, as well as HIV counseling to
any inmate who tests HIV-positive.
When, despite such education and counseling, a person engages in
or shows a disposition to engage in high-risk behavior, it is
necessary to act immediately to remove that person from the
general inmate population.
2. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES.
are:
a.

The expected results of this program

Risks of the spread of HIV will be reduced.

b. Privileges for HIV-positive inmates placed in controlled
housing will be maintained, to the extent practicable, consistent
with the privileges afforded to the general population, except
that the opportunity to socialize with others will be limited and
closely supervised.
c. Each HIV-positive inmate in controlled housing status will
be reviewed regularly and returned to a general population when
the perceived danger to others is alleviated.

5. [STANDARD FOR PLACEMENT IN CONTROLLED HOUSING STATUS §541.61.
An inmate may be placed in a controlled housing status when there
is reliable evidence causing staff to believe that the inmate
engages in conduct posing a health risk to others. This evidence
may be the inmate's behavior, or statements of the inmate, or
other reliable evidence.]
6.

[REFERRAL FOR PLACEMENT §541.62

a. The Warden shall consider an inmate for controlled housing
status when the inmate has been confirmed as testing HIV positive
and when there is reliable evidence indicating that the inmate
may engage in conduct posing a health risk to others. This
evidence may come from the statements of the individual, repeated
misconduct (including disciplinary actions), or other behavior
suggesting that the inmate may engage in predatory or promiscuous
sexual behavior, assaultive behavior where body fluids may be
transmitted to another, or the sharing of needles.
b. The Warden shall submit a recommendation for referral of an
inmate for placement in a controlled housing status to the
Regional Director in the region where the inmate is located.]
The written request is to include the basis for the referral
and be accompanied by:
#
#
#

a current progress report,
a comprehensive medical report (including a
confirmation that the inmate is HIV-positive), and
a copy of an up-to-date psychological or psychiatric
report.

[c. Based on the perceived health risk to others posed by the
inmate's threatened or actual actions, the Warden may, with the
telephonic approval of the Regional Director, temporarily (not to
exceed 20 work days) place an inmate in a special housing status
(e.g., administrative detention, or a secure health service unit

PS 5214.04
2/4/98
Page 4
room) pending the inmate's appearance before the Hearing
Administrator. Reasons for this placement, and the approval of
the Regional Director, shall be documented in the inmate central
file. The inmate should be seen daily by case management and
medical staff while in this temporary status, and a psychological
or psychiatric assessment report should be prepared during this
temporary placement period.]
When an Incident Report prompts the referral, staff shall place
the inmate in Administrative Detention, in accord with procedures
in the Program Statement on Inmate Discipline and Special Housing
Units, while the controlled status placement referral and
decision are made. Under that Program Statement, an inmate
placed in Disciplinary Segregation for committing a Prohibited
Act may be placed in post-disciplinary detention for a period
ordinarily not to exceed 90 days.
[HEARING PROCEDURE §541.63

7.

a. The Regional Director in the region where the inmate is
located shall review the institution's recommendation for
referral of an inmate for controlled housing status. If the
Regional Director concurs with the recommendation, the Regional
Director shall designate person in the Regional Office or a
person at department head level or above in the institution to
conduct a hearing on the appropriateness of an inmate's placement
in controlled housing status. This Hearing Administrator shall
have correctional experience, no former personal involvement in
the instant situation, and a knowledge of the type of behavior
that poses a health risk to others, and of the options available
for dealing with an inmate who poses such a health risk to
others.
b. The Hearing Administrator shall provide a hearing to an
inmate recommended for controlled housing status. The hearing
ordinarily shall take place at the institution housing the
inmate.
c.

The hearing shall proceed as follows:

(1) Staff shall provide an inmate with an advance written
notice of the hearing and a copy of this rule at least 24 hours
prior to the hearing. The notice will advise the inmate of the
specific act(s) or other evidence which forms the basis for a
recommendation that the inmate be placed in a controlled housing
status, unless such evidence would likely endanger staff or

PS 5214.04
2/4/98
Page 5
others. If an inmate is illiterate, staff shall explain the
notice and this rule to the inmate and document that this
explanation has occurred.]
The Hearing Administrator prepares the Notice of Controlled
Housing Status Hearing (Attachment A) and sends it and a copy of
this Program Statement or current rule to the institution for
staff delivery to the inmate. The date and time the inmate
receives this material are to be recorded on the staff copy of
the notice.
[(2) The Hearing Administrator shall upon request of the
inmate provide an inmate the service of a full-time staff member
to represent the inmate. The Hearing Administrator shall
document in the record of the hearing an inmate's request for, or
refusal of staff representation. The inmate may select a staff
representative from the local institution. If the selected staff
member declines for good reason or is unavailable, the inmate has
the option of selecting another representative or, in the case of
an absent staff member, of waiting a reasonable period
(determined by the Hearing Administrator) for the staff member's
return, or of proceeding without a staff representative. When an
inmate is illiterate, the Warden shall provide a staff
representative. The staff representative shall be available to
assist the inmate and, if the inmate desires, shall contact
witnesses and present favorable evidence at the hearing. The
Hearing Administrator shall afford the staff representative
adequate time to speak with the inmate and to interview available
witnesses.
(3) The inmate has the right to be present throughout the
hearing, except where institutional security or good order is
jeopardized. The Hearing Administrator may conduct a hearing in
the absence of the inmate when the inmate refuses to appear. The
Hearing Administrator shall document an inmate's refusal to
appear, or other reason for nonappearance, in the record of the
hearing.]
An inmate who refuses to appear at the hearing may still
elect to have a staff representative and witness(es) appear on
his or her behalf.
[(4) The inmate is entitled to present documentary evidence
and to have witnesses appear, provided that calling witnesses
would not jeopardize or threaten institutional security or
individual safety, and further provided that the witnesses are
available at the institution where the hearing is being
conducted.

PS 5214.04
2/4/98
Page 6
(i) The evidence to be presented must be material and
relevant to the issue as to whether the inmate can and would pose
a health risk to others, if allowed to remain in general prison
population. This evidence may come from the statements of the
individual, repeated misconduct (including disciplinary actions),
or other behavior suggesting that the inmate may engage in
predatory or promiscuous sexual behavior, assaultive behavior
where body fluids may be transmitted to others, or the sharing of
needles.
(ii) Repetitive witnesses need not be called. Staff who
recommend placement in a controlled housing status are not
required to appear, provided their recommendation is fully
explained in the record.]
A staff witness who the Hearing Administrator determines
can present material and relevant evidence or testimony may not
decline to appear.
[(iii) When a witness is not available within the
institution, or not permitted to appear, the inmate may submit a
written statement by that witness. The Hearing Administrator
shall, upon the inmate's request, postpone any decision following
the hearing for a reasonable time to permit the obtaining and
forwarding of written statements.
(iv) The Hearing Administrator shall document in the
record of the hearing the reasons for declining to hear a witness
or to receive documentary evidence.]
8.

[DECISION OF THE HEARING ADMINISTRATOR §541.64

a. At the conclusion of the hearing and following review of
all material related to the recommendation for placement of an
inmate in a controlled housing status, the Hearing Administrator
shall prepare a written decision as to whether this placement is
warranted. The Hearing Administrator shall:
(1) Prepare a summary of the hearing and of all information
presented upon which the decision is based; and
(2) Indicate the specific reasons for the decision, to
include a description of the act, or series of acts, or other
reliable evidence on which the decision is based, along with
evidence of the inmate's HIV positive status.]

PS 5214.04
2/4/98
Page 7
This description must be sufficiently detailed to give the
reader the information upon which the decision is based.
[b. The Hearing Administrator shall advise the inmate in
writing of the decision. The inmate shall receive the
information described in paragraph a. of this section unless it
is determined that the release of this information could pose a
threat to individual safety, or institutional security, in which
case that limited information may be withheld. The Hearing
Administrator shall advise the inmate that the decision will be
submitted for review of the Regional Director in the region where
the inmate is located. The Hearing Administrator shall advise
the inmate that, if the inmate so desires, the inmate may submit
an appeal of the Hearing Administrator's decision to the Regional
Director. This appeal, with supporting documentation and
reasons, must be filed within five working days of the inmate's
receipt of the Hearing Administrator's decision.]
The employee who delivers the Notice of Controlled Housing
Status Hearing (Attachment B) decision to the inmate shall record
on both the inmate's copy and on the central file copy:
#
#

the date and time the inmate received the decision, and
the employee's name and signature.

[c. The Hearing Administrator may order the continuation of
the inmate in special housing pending review by the Regional
Director. The Hearing Administrator should state the reasons for
this order in the record of the Hearing.
d. The Hearing Administrator shall send the decision, whether
for or against placement in a controlled housing status, and
supporting documentation to the Regional Director. Ordinarily,
this is done within 20 working days after conclusion of the
hearing. Any reason for extension is to be documented.]
.

[REGIONAL DIRECTOR REVIEW AND APPEAL §541.65

a. The Regional Director shall review the decision and
supporting documentation of the Hearing Administrator and, if
submitted, the information contained in an inmate's appeal. The
Regional Director shall accept or reject the Hearing
Administrator's decision within 30 working days of its receipt,
unless for good cause there is reason for delay, which shall be
documented in the record. The authority of the Regional Director
may not be delegated below the level of acting Regional Director.

PS 5214.04
2/4/98
Page 8
b. The Regional Director shall provide a copy of his decision
to the Warden at the institution housing the inmate, to the
inmate, and to the Hearing Administrator.]
The Regional Director shall send the inmate's copy in care of
the Warden, who shall ensure it is delivered to the inmate.
The employee who delivers the Regional Director's decision to
the inmate shall record on both the inmate's copy and on the
central file copy:
#
#

the date and time the inmate received the decision, and
the employee's name and signature.

If an inmate is approved for controlled housing status, the
Warden may place him or her in a controlled housing status, which
may consist of placement in Administrative Detention, under close
supervision, in a secure hospital room, or in an equivalent
setting.
If the inmate is to be transferred to another institution, he
or she may be placed in Administrative Detention in holdover
status.
Any inmate placed in controlled housing under this Program
Statement shall be assigned to a single cell, or if one is not
available, in a cell with another inmate in controlled housing
under this procedure.
[c. An inmate may appeal a decision of the Regional Director,
through the Administrative Remedy Program, directly to the
National Inmate Appeals Administrator, Office of General Counsel,
within 30 calendar days of the Regional Director's decision.
(See 28 CFR 542.15).]
See the Program Statement on the Administrative Remedy Program.
In the notification sent to the inmate, the Regional Director
shall advise that inmate of the right to appeal.
10. [PROGRAMS AND SERVICES §541.66. To the extent consistent
with available resources and the security needs of the
institution, an inmate in controlled housing status is to be
considered for activities and privileges afforded to the general
population. This includes, but is not limited to, providing an
inmate with the opportunity for participation in an education
program, library services, counseling, and religious guidance, as
well as access to case management, medical and mental health
assistance, and legal services, including access to the

PS 5214.04
2/4/98
Page 9
institution's law libraries. An inmate in controlled housing
status should be afforded at least five hours weekly recreation
and exercise out of the cell. The recreation shall be by himself
or under close supervision. Unless there are compelling reasons
to the contrary, institutions shall provide commissary privileges
and reasonable amounts of personal property. The Warden may
restrict for reasons of security, fire safety, or housekeeping
the amount of personal property that an inmate may retain while
in controlled housing status. An inmate shall be permitted to
have a radio, provided it is equipped with ear plugs. Visits
shall be carefully monitored.]
Because of the health threat posed by the individual's behavior
or threatened behavior, the inmate's involvement in these areas
and the opportunity to socialize may be more limited than that
provided to the general population. For example, an inmate in a
controlled housing status may be enrolled in correspondence
courses, rather than attend the academic school. This also means
that the inmate's recreation time must be under close supervision
to help protect the health and safety of others.
Any limitation on food services and personal hygiene care must,
at a minimum, be no greater than those specified for inmates in
special housing status. Disposable utensils or other special
articles may be appropriate for those who are assaultive. Legal
matters, visitors, correspondence, and telephone privileges are
to be handled in accord with Bureau policy on those areas.
11. RECORDS. Detailed records are to be maintained. All
admissions to controlled housing status shall be recorded,
including date, time, the specific reason for admission, and the
authorizing official on form BP 292. All releases, of any type,
from this status will be similarly recorded.
Staff shall maintain records regarding:
#
#
#
#
#
#

meals,
showers,
recreation,
medication,
medical and mental health visits and treatment, and
unusual activity or behavior of the inmate (positive and
negative).

These shall ultimately become part of the inmate central file.

date, and
reason for the visit.
[REVIEW OF CONTROLLED HOUSING STATUS §541.67

a. Staff designated by the Warden shall evaluate regularly an
inmate's adjustment while in controlled housing status. A
medical staff member shall see the inmate daily, and regularly
record medical and behavioral impressions. Once every 90 days,
staff, comprised of a correctional and case management
supervisor, and a member of the medical staff, shall meet with
the inmate. The inmate is required to attend this meeting in
order to be considered for release to the general population.
Any refusal by the inmate to attend this meeting will be
documented. Staff, at this meeting, shall make an assessment of
the inmate's adjustment while in controlled housing and the
likely health threat the inmate poses to others by his actions.]
At the in-person review, staff are to have available the
collected information on daily activity and a current psychiatric
or psychological assessment report.
Appropriate staff shall prepare written psychiatric or
psychological assessments at least every 90 days as long as the
inmate is in controlled housing status. Those reports shall
address:
#
#
#

the inmate's adjustment to surroundings;
the threat the inmate poses to self, staff, and other
inmates if released; and
any recommendations as to release from controlled
housing status.

[b. The Warden shall serve as the review authority at the
institutional level, and shall make a recommendation to the
Regional Director when he believes the inmate should be
considered for release from controlled housing.
c. An inmate may appeal a Warden's decision not to recommend
release from controlled housing to the Regional Director within
five working days of receipt of that decision.

PS 5214.04
2/4/98
Page 11
d. Upon recommendation of the Warden, or upon appeal from the
inmate, the Regional Director may decide whether or not to
release the inmate to general population from controlled housing
status.
e. An inmate may appeal a decision of the Regional Director,
through the Administrative Remedy Program, directly to the
National Inmate Appeals Administrator, Office of General Counsel,
within 30 calendar days from the date of the Regional Director's
decision.]
13.

[RELEASE FROM CONTROLLED HOUSING STATUS §541.68

a. Only the Regional Director may release an inmate from
controlled housing status. The following factors are considered
in the evaluation of an inmate's readiness for return to the
general population:
(1) Relationship with other inmates and staff members,
which demonstrate that the inmate is able to function in a less
restrictive environment without posing a health threat to others
or to the orderly operation of the institution;
(2) Involvement in work and recreational activities and
assignments or other programs; and
(3) Adherence to institution guidelines and Bureau of
Prisons rules and policy.
b. An inmate released from a controlled housing status may be
returned to the general population of that institution, or to
another federal or non-federal institution.]
