Prior to incarceration, federal inmates can learn about the policies and expectations of the Bureau of Prisons by accessing our Internet home page, as can any private citizen.

Soon after arrival at their designated facility, inmates participate in the Admission and Orientation Program. This program provides inmates with an introduction to all aspects of the institution, including the rules and regulations of the facility, inmates' rights and responsibilities, and the Bureau's discipline policy.

Once confined, an inmate's best method for successfully completing their term of incarceration is to work with the professional staff assigned to them and abide by the rules.

The use of an outside consultant does not provide any special access or privileges. All inmates are treated fairly, humanely, and equitably, in accordance with the mission of the FBOP to protect society by confining offenders in the controlled environments of prison facilities that are safe, secure, and humane. Each inmate is to abide by institution rules that are necessary to operate a safe and secure facility.
