Resources For Media Representatives

We must ensure the privacy and rights of both inmates and staff are protected; and the orderly and safe operation of the prison is maintained. However, we believe it's important for the public to be informed about the Bureau�s operations. Therefore, under regulated conditions, qualified media representatives may visit institutions to gather information about programs and activities or to conduct interviews. For detailed information, please refer to our official policy below.
