I. Overview for the Bureau of Prisons, Salaries and Expenses (S&E) Appropriation 1. Introduction The President’s FY 2014 budget request for the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) S&E Appropriation totals $6,831,150,000, with 36,873 FTEs, and 43,122 positions (20,911 Correctional Officers) to support Department of Justice (DOJ) Strategic Goal 3: Ensure and Support the Fair, Impartial, Efficient, and Transparent Administration of Justice at the Federal, State, Local, Tribal, and International Levels. This is an increase of 4.27 percent over the FY 2012 Enacted Level.

The BOP, an agency of the DOJ, is responsible for the custody and care of nearly 218,000 federal inmates. The BOP operates 119 prisons with administrative oversight and support provided by the central office and regional offices. As the inmate population is projected to continue to increase for the foreseeable future, the BOP continues to require increased resources to provide for safe inmate incarceration and care, and the safety of BOP staff and surrounding communities, which is why the requested operating funds are vital. Nevertheless, the BOP has made great strides in past years in streamlining and consolidating functions and operating as efficiently as possible. The BOP has been “doing more with less” for many years by co-locating institutions; delayering management positions; closing four stand-alone minimum security prisons; and consolidating procurement, sentence computation, inmate designation, human resources and other functions. At the same time the agency has managed an ever growing number of inmates with relatively fewer staff, as compared to the size of the inmate population. In total, the BOP has streamlined operations, improved program efficiencies, and reduced costs to function very economically even as the mandatory workload increases every year. The BOP’s most basic statutory obligation, among many others, is to provide suitable quarters and provide for the safekeeping, care, and subsistence of all federal inmates. The mandatory nature of this account has been affirmed many times despite the discretionary funding source. The BOP’s workload is generated by other federal entities, yet the impact of the continually increasing federal prison population is borne solely by the BOP.
FY 2013 we will be phasing in several new programs and expanding others. The impact of adding the new programs will not be fully realized until FY 2014.
