Description

The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is responsible for the custody and care of 216,000 federal inmates -- an almost 9-fold increase since 1980. At the same time, BOP appropriations increased more than 20-fold. The Department of Justice (DOJ) states that the costs of the growing population are BOP's greatest challenge. BOP's population size is driven by several factors, such as law enforcement policies and sentencing laws. This report reviewed BOP's opportunities to save costs. It (1) describes BOP's major costs and actions to achieve savings; (2) assesses the extent to which BOP has mechanisms to identify additional efficiencies; and (3) describes potential changes within and outside of BOP's authority that might reduce costs. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
