Three Locations to Undergo Mission Changes

(BOP) - In support of the First Step Act, the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) has identified three locations to undergo mission changes to better afford an opportunity for individuals in our custody to be housed within 500 miles of their release residence. This action will also help to alleviate the Bureau's growing need for low security beds. Specifically:

  • FCI Memphis and FCI Estill will transition from Medium security male institutions to low security male institutions
  • FCI Estill Satellite Camp will transition from a Minimum security male facility to a Minimum security female facility

As we move forward with our core public safety mission of preparing individuals for successful reentry into our communities, we will continue to make necessary changes to further our success in implementing the First Step Act.
